Airport security solutions and products

September 2007 Integrated Solutions, Government and Parastatal (Industry)

The challenges of airport management today are unprecedented. The threat to personnel and civilian life cannot be ignored, the need for strategic thinking and quick decision making is more paramount than ever before and the need for realtime data capture, access control, instant re-mobility planning and accurate surveillance is crucial.

Each application in Honeywell's enterprise buildings integrator (EBI) is tailored to the specific needs of the customer. The key to the EBI is its holistic approach and that it functions as a single system, thereby enabling processes to operate on a more efficient and effective basis.

The main system offers true system integration, with systems interoperability where needed, with output being directed into a command centre control room so that people and asset location and management; energy management; data comms and cable management; access control; public address and voice alarm announcement; fire detection and alarm and CCTV security cameras can be managed. An opportunity exists, to also bring into the command centre data from Honeywell's, runway, taxiway and obstruction lighting; aircraft and vehicle movement; precision approach path indicator; perimeter protection and millimetre wave radar; fixed electrical ground power and runway lighting power supplies and system validation and construction. All now working together for a safer and more secure airport.

The technical and operational benefits include such aspects as improved monitoring and management of changes to airport and procedures and maintenance programmes, effective handling of incident management, reduced risk, risk reduction with system modification and new technology introduction, new measurement and management processes can be easily developed and deployed.

The global expertise that the company can offer to airport management operations is immense, practical and cost competitive. The company is internationally recognised for its continuous technological research and development.

Honeywell brings a wide range of airport and airport-related products and services solutions to the South African aviation sector. Having won contracts at Munich Airport for automated fire and smoke extraction systems and Brussels Airport for an integrated building management solution system in realtime the company is confident that it offers the latest available technological solutions needed for the forthcoming upgrading of local airports.

The Honeywell enterprise buildings integrator (EBI) is an easy to use intelligent, single system that integrates existing and future building management, life safety, security, business and communications systems to provide an efficient and consistent data source for smooth airport operations.

The systems cover the entire airport operations from runway lighting to building management.
