KUALA LUMPUR: Honeywell Home and Building Technologies has secured a multi-million dollar, multi-year upgrade project at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) for a new airfield ground lighting control and monitoring system.
According to a press release issued on Tuesday, the Honeywell system will play a critical role in helping KLIA safely and efficiently accommodate increasing aircraft traffic.
Honeywell’s technology will control and monitor airside systems, and provide real-time location information on lamp failures to enable faster response and repair – reducing risk and improving uptime.
“As the primary gateway to Malaysia, KLIA is a showcase of our ambition to grow as a nation,” said Datuk Badlisham Ghazali, managing director, Malaysia Airports.
“As we move closer to becoming a developed country, our airports should reflect high standards of safety and efficiency. Our collaboration with Honeywell is in line with our commitment to maintain safety, improve efficiency, drive performance, and reduce operational expenses while we comply with the international regulatory standards.”
The project is an upgrade of the airport operator’s existing work with Honeywell, which includes single-lamp control and monitoring for Runways 1 and 2, and the building management system at KLIA.
It will position KLIA as one of the most technologically advanced airports in the world, with the capability to move toward the advanced ‘follow-the-green’ (A-SMGCS Level 4) technology.
