Siemens and #sita are providing the #kansascity Aviation Department with future-proof, scalable technologies for the #kansascity International (MCI) Airport’s New Terminal project, dubbed Build KCI.  

The new 1 million sq ft 39-gate terminal will include a variety of building automation, fire and life safety systems, and security systems from #siemens as well as IT networks and next-generation airport systems from #sita. These solutions will help create a smart airport terminal that can grow with the aviation department‘s long-term needs, decreasing operation and maintenance costs and enhancing the passenger experience through automation. 

“Together, #siemens and #sita are providing the virtual and physical infrastructure that will ensure #kansascity International Airport’s New Terminal is equipped to deliver an exceptional journey for our passengers; one built on innovation, industry expertise and a true understanding of what travelers want today and into the future,” says Kansas City‘s Director of Aviation Pat Klein.

Also important to the project is the need for a seamless transition from the construction to the operation phase, delivered through integrated life safety and emergency communications systems, a virtualized IT network and agile passenger touchpoints. In addition, the airport wanted to implement interactive technology that could be easily understood by airport staff, while also deploying next-generation passenger touchpoints such as touchless kiosks, flight information display systems and video walls that provide a more intuitive journey through the new terminal. “Integrating the disparate airport systems has enabled data sharing across the airport ecosystem,” says Henning Sandfort, CEO of Building Products at #siemens Smart Infrastructure. “Siemens and #sita, through a joint project management approach, are combining their expertise in airport facilities systems, operations systems, and IT systems to provide the aviation department with a strong technology infrastructure and intuitive, easy-to-use systems that allow terminal staff and operators to transition from their two current airport terminals to a new, technology-advanced single airport terminal.”
