Information web
Ikusi has developed a range of technology
that combines the efficiency required
by operators with improvement in the passenger
experience. This has led to the development of the
Spider solution, designed to improve and optimize
processes. Spider allows the airport’s available data
to be interrelated, encouraging a deep analysis of the
information to develop predictive, prescriptive and
preventive scenarios, thus enabling the infrastructure
to operate more efficiently.
Santiago de Chile International Airport, Chile’s
largest airport, is already using this solution, and
has contracted Ikusi for two projects that highlight
its capabilities and benefits. With Spider, Ikusi has
created the technological framework addressing the
concession management model under which this
airport operates. This entails the need to develop a
framework of relations between the public owner and
the private consortium. The consortium is, of course,
obliged to fulfill certain quality parameters that the
owner, normally government bodies, has to guarantee
to meet the international standards established by
organizations such as the ACI, ICAO and IATA.
Santiago de Chile International Airport has also
relied on Ikusi for the deployment of an automated
operation management system that includes an
AODB/RMS system and the Spider Information
Broker (IB) to integrate 15 airport and air traffic control
systems. This project confirms Spider’s undertaking
as a tool for the ongoing improvement, automation
and optimization of an airport’s operations.
Santiago de Chile International Airport is a long-
standing customer of Ikusi, having received a public
information system from the company in 1993 – a
solution currently released as Dolphin, operational at
the new airport in Istanbul, which has plans to have
the greatest capacity in the world; Sharjah airport in
the UAE; and six airports belonging to OMA (Grupo
Aeroportuario Centro-Norte) in Mexico.
Baggage revolution
Airports of Regions, the largest airport
holding and management company in
Russia – part of the Renova Group, a
Russian conglomerate with interests in
a wide range of market sectors – has
selected Alstef to supply a complete
baggage sorting system to the new
Rostov-on-Don International Airport
in the south of the country. Located
30km (18.6 miles) from the current
airport, which is set to close, it will
become operational by the end of the
year, ready to accommodate visitors for
the 2018 FIFA World Cup. In the long
term it is expected to welcome up to
five million passengers annually.
Alstef is responsible for the design,
manufacturing and installation of
the baggage sorting system, which
will have a processing capacity of
2,200 bags per hour for
departing flights. It will
be equipped with ECAC Standard 3
explosive detection machines, a first
in Russia, and have five baggage
delivery lines at arrivals, four of which
will be equipped with Alstef BagClaim
carousels. The complete system will be
controlled and monitored by Bagware
View, a monitoring solution developed
by Alstef. This is the second contract
awarded to Alstef by Airports of Region,
with a new baggage sorting system
already in operation at Nizhny Novgorod
International Airport’s new terminal.

Advanced detection
Airports and regulators are demanding higher throughput,
even as the bar is raised on effective threat detection for
passengers and their cabin baggage. As security requirements and
concerns evolve, airports worldwide need to keep pace by protecting
passengers and commerce while accelerating their movement through
aviation screening checkpoints. This requires centralized, fully integrated,
high-throughput security systems that are designed to keep these
checkpoints running smoothly and safely.
L3 Security & Detection Systems (L3 SDS) offers the ClearScan cabin
baggage explosives detection system (EDS), which uses advanced
algorithms to discover enhanced threats. Dual-energy computed
tomography (CT) technology delivers the highest level of explosives
threat detection at a low false alarm rate, meeting the latest regulatory
requirements without the need to replace existing equipment. Integrated
with a tray return system, ClearScan is in operation at numerous
international airports to screen cabin baggage.
Also at the checkpoint is L3’s widely deployed ProVision 2mm wave
passenger screener – a safe, image-free solution with advanced software
that efficiently determines checkpoint clearance. Solutions offered by
L3 SDS meet the most demanding customer expectations and regulator
requirements, and address security concerns with a software-based
architecture that is upgradable to counter future and emerging threats.
Come and see us at Passenger Terminal Expo 2017, booth 10058.
