The airport can provide these amenities because Munich planners recognized that the best method to maximize airport operations was to use integrated systems control.The highly technical nature of each subsystem requires an integrated control system. If airport engineers, operators and maintenance staff were required to learn each system, the sheer magnitude of the task would require additional staff.Task sharing and rotation to cover for sickness and holidays would be almost impossible.
After two years of assessment, the airport planning and engineering teams formed the objectives for the airport's Building Management System (BMS). Specifically, they sought to create a single, state-of-the-art facilities management environment that would deliver: Centralized technological command and control of all integrated subsystems.Multiple workstations throughout the complex, segregated by user (1,000 users) rather than hardware. Discrete as well as global energy efficiency operations.
Fast identification of all malfunctions.The scope of Munich technical functions created a massive system design challenge. The airport required a control system that went far beyond the capabilities of any building management system then on themarket. The problem was determining the best way to integrate diverse and highly specialized subsystems from vendors that each had different architectures, communications protocols and software standards.
