Ikusi and Libelium carry out the smart airport project of Santiago de Chile

The deployment of IoT sensor networks to improve processes, Reducing waiting times and the stay of passengers by monitoring environmental conditions are the objectives of this innovative development carried out by these companies in the new Chilean terminal.

Pudahuel, the new concession of the international airport of Santiago de Chile, The smart airport project has been completed (Smart Airport), made by Spanish companies Ikusi and Libelium, with the deployment of the Spider platform of the first, and

specifically, Spider integration software is specifically designed to ensure quality in the management and operation of airport infrastructures, and that in the case of Pudahuel is based on the contractual relationship between the public owner and the private company in a concession business model.

This innovative airport management model of Ikusi is subject to compliance with quality parameters that the owner (Normally government entities) is obliged to guarantee according to the international standards set by organizations such as ACI, ICAO, IATA, Etc. that regulate the context in which the airport business and air transport must be developed.

From this perspective, The public owner needs to establish control/audit measures that allow him to validate that the concessionaire company is developing its activity according to the established quality parameters..

Through data integration from existing systems, Spider monitors KPIs (Quality indicators) and compares them with the standards or objectives defined in the concession contract, such as waiting times, Temperatures, Time Arrivals of suitcases, Terminal occupancy, Etc.

This open platform enables the dealer (Airport Manager) Mechanisms for quality improvement through alarms, Dashboards, Indicator prediction and what-if scenario simulation modules. In addition, using the same information as a basis, provides insight, accessible to the owner to follow in real time the fulfillment of the indicators established in the contract.

Ikusi has selected for this project the platform of connected wireless sensors of Libelium, called Waspmote Plug & Sense! Sensor Platform, that allows to obtain data of different parameters for the monitoring of the environmental conditions in said terminal with the aim of improving the experience of the users during the time they spend in the installation.

This IoT connectivity system (Internet of Things) Sensor-based allows, Although the airport has numerous services so that the comfort of the passenger while waiting for his flight or transiting through the terminal is good, further optimize your experience by reducing wait times, Conditions in the rooms, Etc.
