Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) Critical Asset Monitoring via IoT
The Port’s Aviation Maintenance (AVM) department partnered with Electronic Data (EDI) to pursue a proof of value project, to utilize industry best asset monitoring software processes and technology. This project provides AVM with real-time information to optimize PM routines, forecast potential failure points, and quickly identify failures. This project has already improved efficiencies by eliminating the need for several schedule-based manual inspections on these assets. This will also help the department proactively deploy maintenance technicians to perform work on a failing asset prior to an imminent breakdown occurring or, at least, respond to a failure prior to it becoming a customer service issue
Scope of Services Included Sea-Tec Airport Project:
The primary objective for this project was to enable the proactive monitoring of real-time operating conditions of critical airport HVAC assets at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), capture lessons learned, and determine if IoT is a viable path forward to be implemented on a larger scale.
Key elements of EDI’s Project Approach
- Perform Assessment of Airport Challenges to Identify Potential Use Cases for IoT
- “To Be” Process Design of IoT Enabled Processes
- Definition of Critical Process KPI’s and Proof of Concept Success Factors
- Technical Infrastructure Design for Sensors, Gateways, Network, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and EAM System Integration
- Implementation and Configuration Hardware
- Implementation and Configuration of Maximo Asset Performance Management (APM) Modules
- Establishment and Documentation of Functional, Technical, and Data Standards for Scaling of IoT Projects at SeaTac
