The consortium said it would apply data analytics and artificial intelligence to “deliver holistic, end-to-end solutions that can transform the global airport development industry, enhance efficiency and security of airport operations, as well as improve air travel experience”.
More specifically, the Singapore firms identified “proven technologies”, including analytics-driven airport operations command systems, security solutions such as counter drones, sensor-based intruder detection, as well as biometrics screening, unmanned aerobridge systems and autonomous baggage handling systems as areas for growth and opportunity.
This week’s MoU was signed by Vincent Chong, President and CEO of ST Engineering, Wong Heang Fine, Group CEO of Surbana Jurong and Peter Lee, Managing Director of CAPE.
“Airports of the future are a destination in themselves – less like transit hubs and more like mini Smart Cities. Airport operators have the opportunities to fully harness the power of new technologies from sensors to robotics and data analytics that redefine travel experience in an integrated manner. This is where ST Engineering, with our strong capabilities in in technology and engineering, in collaboration with our partners, Surbana Jurong and CAPE, can positively impact the air transport industry,” said Vincent Chong.
“Having worked on over 60 projects in more than 20 countries, CAPE has extensive experience in a broad spectrum of services including master planning, airport engineering, terminal design and project management. […] This partnership harnesses the strengths and experience of three well-established Singapore companies to offer bespoke and comprehensive engineering solutions to airports around the world,” added CAPE’s Peter Lee.
In the coming months, the trio will initiate expansion activities in target overseas markets, including defining tender participation requirements and developing best practices.
