Open architecture allows hardware and software from different suppliers to be plugged together so airports achieve operational efficiencies. This panel examines what responsible looks like in practice with open interfaces, common data formats, clear accountability and an assurance approach that supports technical standards, certification and liability.

This virtual panel explores responsible open architecture at the checkpoint. It looks at how open interfaces and common data formats let airports plug together hardware, software and algorithms from different suppliers and manage them centrally to drive operational efficiency, safety outcomes and a more relevant precise data ecosystem.

Airports face questions of accountability across mixed estates, the effect that changing one component can have on others, how configuration choices alter cyber exposure, and how to maintain compliance when integrating new capabilities. There is also the practical complexity of coordinating mixed vendor devices and applications across sites while preserving audit quality and operational resilience.

Expect practical guidance on open interfaces and data portability that let teams manage diverse technology centrally and act on real time insight. The discussion will reference collaborative work with complementary third party partners and what that meant in local markets, including lessons from projects that explored algorithm options and integration approaches within an OA context.

What you’ll gain from this webinar:

  • Understand how open interfaces and common data formats let airports manage mixed vendor technology centrally to improve operational efficiency and deliver OPEX gains.
  • See how centralised image processing across lanes and sites can unlock capacity you already own, shorten queues and reduce costs.
  • Get the practical questions to take into procurement on accountability, certification and cyber so customers security policies stay intact.
  • Hear brief examples of third party collaboration in local markets and what this enabled for data sharing and risk based operations.
