Smart City Express: 47 Airports and 2 Heliports

 
AENA is in charge of the civil air navigation in Spain that involves the management of 47 airports and 2 heliports. In passenger count, AENA is the world’s leading airport operator. In fact, just the last month of November, AENA has served over 12,000,000 passengers.

 

That kind of volume requires a certain amount of reliability. For the control of its facility management system, AENA has standardized on Wonderware.

We will be featuring the Barcelona El Prat Airport in a success story video. While waiting, you can visit the following websites:
  1. The Barcelona El Prat Airport Written Success Story
  2. The Wonderware Smart City software solution page
  3. Lane's Smart City Blog
  4. Wonderware Spain's Website

Smart City Express: Airport Baggage Handling


The Automated Luggage Transport System (SATE) manages the movement and delivery of all checked-in items at the Barcelona El Prat Airport. It is one of the most important sections of the airport.


By connecting SATE to Wonderware, the Barcelona El Prat Airport has one of the lowest lost-luggage rates in Europe.

We will be featuring the baggage handling system at El Prat in the success story video so wait for it. In the mean time you can visit the following websites:
