Security Solutions for Airports 2023

Climate activists belonging to the “Last Generation” group succeeded in gaining access to the apron of both the new Berlin airport and also the airport in Munich, and then glueing themselves to the tarmac. These serious security breaches caused chaos for thousands of people, with the consequences lasting several days while causing significant direct and indirect costs for passengers, airline companies and their suppliers, as well as the airport operators themselves. Just when we thought we had perimeter security covered, these troublemakers – very easily – proved us wrong, so GIT SECURITY has taken a quick look at some of the latest technology available to help keep airports secure, inside and outside.

Bosch: Artificial Intelligence in Building Control

The digitalization of buildings of all sizes promises to deliver significant benefits for their owners, operators, and the individual users. It already made the automation of system controls possible using smart technology a long time ago – but when confronted by increasing complexity, artificial intelligence makes its welcome appearance. First of all, you build a digital twin of the building, such as Bosch Building Technologies does. This provides the most transparent view of all the elements of the building’s technology – and shows their most efficient way of working together. GIT SECURITY spoke about the subject with Andreas Mauer, Chief Architect at Bosch Building Technologies.

Assa Abloy: A Door Closer That Opens Like It Isn’t Even There

When a door is equipped with a high-quality door closer, building users feel safer. They know that fire doors shut tight and sensitive openings are protected against unauthorized entry. But sometimes, door closer technology can also create barriers to genuine access-for-all. The problem is greater still for users who — for many reasons — have restricted strength or mobility.
