Innovative solutions powering the world's most awarded airport
At Changi Airport, our engineering and development cluster drives continuous innovation to enhance operational efficiency, passenger safety, and environmental sustainability. Our solutions integrate cutting-edge technology with practical engineering excellence.
Advanced FOD detection systems
AR/VR for underground service operations
Automated monitoring systems
The iFerret system represents a breakthrough in Foreign Object Debris (FOD) detection technology. Using advanced computer vision and machine learning algorithms, iFerret automatically identifies and locates potential hazards on runway surfaces, ensuring the highest levels of aviation safety.
Full HD coloured images (2 megapixels) even under low-light conditions
1 minute cycle-time for FOD detection in the day and 2 minutes at night
Detect objects as small as 4 cm with >95% success rate and at +/-1m position accuracy
Performs in all weather conditions (sun, rain, mist, fog, snow) meeting FAA, EUROCAE, and ICAO standards
The Airport Underground Service VR (AUSV) system revolutionizes staff training by providing immersive virtual reality experiences for underground utility maintenance and emergency procedures. This innovative approach reduces training costs while improving safety outcomes.
Comprehensive virtual environments for various underground scenarios
Allowing precise location and awareness of underground services in daylight or night time conditions, providing valuable information during limited airside closure windows
Safe practice of high-risk scenarios in controlled virtual environments
Discover how AUSV technology is revolutionizing underground service operations at Changi Airport, providing workers with unprecedented visibility and navigation capabilities.
The Baggage Handling System is a critical system of the airport. Improper induction of the baggage could lead to more serious consequences, such as multiple bag jams along conveyor and/or tilt-tray sorter crash, leading to significant damage and downtime.
Common improper induction practices that can damage the baggage handling system
Centralized monitoring dashboard for real-time baggage system oversight
Live camera surveillance system for continuous baggage induction monitoring
Through continuous innovation and engineering excellence, Changi Airport's development cluster creates solutions that enhance operational efficiency, ensure passenger safety, and maintain our position as the world's leading aviation hub.
Our engineering solutions have collectively improved operational efficiency by over 40% while maintaining the highest safety standards.
