THE CHALLENGE
Enable a unified and real-time view of airport assets, transforming heterogeneous data into operational insights and faster maintenance actions
SCENARIO
Overcoming the complexity of airport assets
Rome Airports, a company of the Mundys Group, manages the airports of Rome Fiumicino and Rome Ciampino and operates in a complex infrastructural ecosystem, where operational continuity, service quality, and efficiency depend on the ability to monitor distributed and interconnected assets. With the increase in traffic and the growing focus on sustainability, resilience, and operational performance, asset management requires tools capable of integrating data from sensors, legacy systems, facilities, and external sources.
The goal was to move beyond a reactive, intervention-based logic to evolve towards a predictive and data-driven model.
In this context, IoT, cloud, and artificial intelligence enable the construction of a unified view of the infrastructure, supporting continuous monitoring, prioritization of interventions, and a faster and more effective decision-making process throughout the operational chain.
THE SOLUTION
An IoT and AI platform to connect data, assets, and operations
Sense Reply, in collaboration with AWS, has developed a cloud-native IoT platform that collects, standardizes, and contextualizes operational data (OT) from airport assets, translating it into digital entities mapped to their respective physical assets (thermal, water, transportation, electrical, VUD, etc.) and making them available through REST APIs and dedicated dashboards for monitoring, analytics, and decision support.
The solution collects and normalizes information generated by connected devices, existing systems, and distributed infrastructures, creating a centralized view of operations. Based on this, artificial intelligence and machine learning support the identification of anomalies, the assessment of asset health, and the evolution towards a predictive maintenance model.
The goal is not only to monitor what happens, but to transform data into operational actions, connecting insights, KPIs, and maintenance processes within a scalable model designed to progressively extend to new assets and use cases.
Intelligent Asset Monitoring
The platform has been built on an AWS microservices architecture, designed to manage the entire data lifecycle: acquisition, integration, historization, analysis, and visualization.
Sense Reply has integrated legacy systems, IoT devices, and heterogeneous data sources within a data lake, a centralized system for data collection and storage, enabling real-time analysis and historical assessments of asset performance. The operational WebApp and the Business Intelligence layer based on Qlik provide users with intuitive views on alerts, KPIs, anomalies, and maintenance.
The integration with SAP EAM also allows linking the insights generated by the platform to maintenance execution, enabling the generation of work orders and making the transition from monitoring to operational management smoother.
Greater control over assets
Centralized and real-time monitoring of distributed infrastructures.
Faster interventions
Reduction of response times thanks to more immediate and accessible insights.
Energy efficiency
Optimization of consumption and support for a more sustainable operating model.
Data-driven decisions
Access to reliable data and KPIs to support faster and more informed choices.
