- 14. CASE STUDY – HEATHROW AIRPORT The Challenge: Heathrow airport is an international airport in London. It is the second busiest international airport in the world Managing over 2,00,000 passengers every day can be quite a challenging task for airport authorities and ground staff. Every department needs to be in absolute coordination and sync to be able to manage the passenger traffic and give them a smooth experience at the airport Issues can arise due to stormy weather, delayed flights, canceled flights, shifts in jet streams, etc. disturbing the airport’s smooth functioning. Such problems send the passengers as well as airport employees into turmoil The airport needed a central digitalized management system as a solution to this problem. Such a system would use the large amounts of data being produced by operational systems at the airport and transform it into useful visual insights
- 15. SOLUTION The airport has deployed Microsoft Azure technology to collect data from back-end operational systems at the airport. These systems are check-in counters, baggage tracking systems, flight schedules, weather tracking systems, cargo tracking and many more The operational data from these systems are forwarded to business intelligence platforms like Power BI. In Power BI, users shape this data into useful information that the airport staff can use Power BI transforms the crude information into informative visuals showing different statuses and statistics of the airport systems. Then, the ground staff like baggage handlers, gate agents, air traffic controllers, etc. use this information to properly operate and manage passengers
