Challenge	The growth of Xi’an Xianyang International Airport made it necessary to seek a monitoring and control solution that could handle communication with multiple different data sources as well as scale to the wide array of equipment that is continuously added. One primary concern was energy use and temperature control throughout the 360,000 square meters of indoor airport space. China Western Airport Group and the Xi’an Airport Construction Co., Ltd. created a dedicated energy center that could assist them in providing comfortable temperatures for millions of passengers as well as the great number of people who work within the airport facilities. As the airport expands, so too does its energy use, as well as the complexity of its energy system. Airport officials required an HMI/SCADA system with a safe, reliable, cost-saving energy management component. Read More
