What is digital twin-powered integrated APOC

 
The Digital Twin-Powered Integrated Airport Predictive Operations Centre (APOC) has been unveiled at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad by Waisal, a solutions provider for the aviation sector.

This is also India’s first end-to-end fully integrated digital twin-powered APOC that covers the Terminal, Airside, and Landside, integrating with over 40 modules and tracking more than 100 KPIs, capable of managing 40+ million passengers annually.

The business value for airport operations by implementing the solution is derived by increasing capacity with existing infrastructure, optimizing non-aero revenue streams, and reducing costs through improved operational efficiency.

The solution empowers airports to handle surges in demand with predictive and prescriptive analytics, ultimately delivering reductions in flight delays and boosting passenger satisfaction. It also provides a truly integrated experience that will fuel the next generation of airport operations.

This deployment ushers in a new era in airport operations, offering predictive, prescriptive, and simulative insights and a comprehensive 360-degree view of the entire airport ecosystem. The solution leverages next-generation technologies like Digital Twin, Cloud Computing, Computer Vision, AI/ML, video, and Data Analytics.

WAISL has partnered with AWS to further evolve this solution and take it to other airport and transport clients globally. This was launched by AWS via press releases and at their prestigious Re-invent in Las Vegas a few weeks ago.



“At WAISL, we are setting a new benchmark for airports worldwide. We don’t just innovate; we transform the boundaries of what’s possible. In the digital age, transformative impact stems not from technology alone but from its bold, strategic application to complex operational challenges.”, said Rishi Mehta, President & CEO of WAISL Ltd.

For Oman, this digital transformation is particularly significant, given the Sultanate’s strong focus on modernizing its infrastructure and enhancing its aviation sector as passenger traffic is projected to rise to 50 million by 2040, up from the current 17 million in 2023.

The WAISL digital APOC is one of the first to embrace Total Airport Management, Con-Ops, and IOT/AI/ML technology to drive end-to-end Digital Operations Transformation. This milestone underscores our commitment to being a preferred digital transformation and innovation partner for airports and the larger aviation and transport industry worldwide. ”, said Preetham Kamesh, acting Global Chief Business Officer of WAISL.
