AUTOMATION INTELLIGENCE

Automation Intelligence (AI) is a centralized architecture between equipment and airport IT solutions

SLIDE 3

Page 4: Holistic Approach to IT Solutions Automation Intelligence · Automation Intelligence (AI) Concept •Responding to Needs •Integration of Systems •Features and Functionalities

Responding to Airport Needs

•Centralizing building and operations management

• Interoperability by integrating independent systems

•Making pertinent data available: locally and remotely: • Reducing response time to events and emergencies

• Easing decisions (analysis of events and troubleshooting)

• Empowering people with the right information

•Data archiving and reporting across multiple systems

•Software security and users management

Integration of Independent Systems

SLIDE 5

• Integration Optimizes :

• Operations & Maintenance

• Performance and Reliability

• Security and Efficiency

• Integration is:

• Software & Hardware Independent

• Multi-User / Multi-Sites

• Standardized but Customizable

• Flexible, Modular and Scalable

• Centralization & Sharing

AI Concept

Page 6: Holistic Approach to IT Solutions Automation Intelligence · Automation Intelligence (AI) Concept •Responding to Needs •Integration of Systems •Features and Functionalities

Integration of Independent Systems (cont’d)

•Examples of interoperability: • Viewing a camera image in the SCADA

• Automatically activate lighting upon camera alarm

•Examples of reporting across multiple systems: • Power consumption

• per loading bridge and

• per airline company with docking duration

• Investigating a sequence of events prior to an incident

Page 7: Holistic Approach to IT Solutions Automation Intelligence · Automation Intelligence (AI) Concept •Responding to Needs •Integration of Systems •Features and Functionalities

Integration of Independent Systems (cont’d)

• Appropriate Information / Appropriate Location: • AI provides users with

• Easy commands,

• Important information and

• Pertinent data

• Provides all information and controls needed:

• User Configured Actions (Groupings)

• Can be remotely accessed from the AI SCADA

•Minimal duplication philosophy: • Regrouping at the SCADA level does not mean replicating all systems

• Only pertinent information and functionalities available at the SCADA

• Pass Through Login to other systems

Page 9: Holistic Approach to IT Solutions Automation Intelligence · Automation Intelligence (AI) Concept •Responding to Needs •Integration of Systems •Features and Functionalities

Integration of Independent Systems (cont’d)

•Simplifying architectures

•Optimizing network performance

•Easing maintenance

•Lower maintainability costs by reducing impacts of changes

Page 10: Holistic Approach to IT Solutions Automation Intelligence · Automation Intelligence (AI) Concept •Responding to Needs •Integration of Systems •Features and Functionalities

Main Features and Functionalities

•Graphical representation with user-friendly navigation: • Global overview of the airport

• Detailed displays of sections of the airport

• Statuses visualization and commands: • Graphical animation

• High-level commands sent :

• On-demand

• According to configured events or rules (with interoperability capacity)

• According to configured schedule

• Group commands (sending the same command to multiple equipments)

SLIDE 10

Page 11: Holistic Approach to IT Solutions Automation Intelligence · Automation Intelligence (AI) Concept •Responding to Needs •Integration of Systems •Features and Functionalities

Main Features and Functionalities (cont’d)

• Efficient alarm management and annunciation

• Remote notification of events (e-mail)

• Data archiving, reporting (alarms, events and audit trail) trends

• Diagnostics and system health monitoring

• Secured remote access (via web or remote desktop)

• Secured environment

• Client-server architecture

SLIDE 11

Page 12: Holistic Approach to IT Solutions Automation Intelligence · Automation Intelligence (AI) Concept •Responding to Needs •Integration of Systems •Features and Functionalities

Advantages of AI

• All data available and online: • Wait times, Where am I (baggage), Throughput

• HVAC loading , adjusting

• Training

• Image tagging (with incident or component)

• Auto paging, alarming, sequences (locking doors)

• Predictor tools for queues

• Energy,

• Etc.

• Secure Logins

• Scalable

• Vendor Independent

SLIDE 12

Page 13: Holistic Approach to IT Solutions Automation Intelligence · Automation Intelligence (AI) Concept •Responding to Needs •Integration of Systems •Features and Functionalities

Risk of single point of failure / risk of losing data • High availability & redundancy mechanisms

• Virtualization

• Data loss prevention mechanisms:

• Disaster recovery procedures with appropriate backups

Centralized alarms management implies too many alarms • Alarms must be properly configured for segregation

Security • Integration allows for increased security

Loss of flexibility or integration limitations • Compensated by strong, generic standards

• Increased uniformity throughout the plant

• Ease of maintenance and training

Myths of the Automation Intelligence

SLIDE 13

Page 14: Holistic Approach to IT Solutions Automation Intelligence · Automation Intelligence (AI) Concept •Responding to Needs •Integration of Systems •Features and Functionalities

Challenges of Integration

SLIDE 14

•Obtain collaboration of airport/building systems suppliers

• Ensure airport/building systems are compatible

• Existing installations:

•Working with constraints

•Green field constructions:

• Integration team must be implicated early
