ADT wins Innovation Award for Birmingham Airport BMS Project
ADT has been awarded an Innovation Award from Delta Controls for its integrated building management system at Birmingham International Airport (BHX).
In recognition of the new and innovative solution, ADT received the award at Delta’s 2008 European conference in Poland. Delta Controls is a world leading developer and manufacturer of high quality native BACnet building automation systems.
ADT (part of Tyco International) designed and installed an access control system at BHX to guide arriving passengers through baggage reclaim and passport control to the arrivals hall. Departing passengers are also guided from the departures lounge through to boarding gates.
These routes are controlled via controllers that the airport refers to as ‘valve doors.’ These have been supplied by CEM Systems, also part of Tyco International. Operators in the security control room can define the routes the passengers need to take and then open or close the valves when necessary – simply by using a touch screen PC.
The integrated system, which is based on the open protocol, native BACnet technology provided by Delta Controls, interfaces with the CEM door controllers. This sends commands to CEM’s AC2000 system to put doors into passenger mode, and then receives information indicating the open / close status of each door.
The system connects to a dual screen PC in the Terminal Control Room via the BACnet/IP network. One screen is a valve configuration touch screen that allows operators to configure the valve routes. The second screen is a wall mounted 42” mounted plasma, which shows the floor plan and colour coded passenger routes. In addition, the large plasma is configured to show a continuous live news feed from BBC News24 in a small TV window.
Kurt Graves, Delta’s International Business Manager commented that “ADT’s innovative solution uses BACnet products, which allowed the extremely open, flexible and easy-to-commission design to be implemented very quickly and efficiently, The award recognises the complete project, from its design right through to its successful implementation.” -
