Brazil’s Hercilio Luz International Airport in Florianopolois (Floripa) has underlined how Genetec’s flagship unified security platform, Security Center, has helped the airport to manage its physical security infrastructure and provide operational insights.
Managed by Zurich Airport Brazil, Floripa Airport is one of the country’s most modern hubs having undergone an extensive expansion project which was completed in 2019. The airport has a capacity of 8 million passengers per annum and serves both domestic and international destinations.
“It was very important for us to choose a modern security system that could be totally integrated with the airport’s critical operations,” said Kleyton Mendes, Executive Manager of Zurich Airport Brazil. “Genetec Security Center has allowed us to implement state-of-the-art technology and integrate new hardware, artificial intelligence and analytics tools, while increasing our cyber-security posture.”
Genetec’s open platform currently manages over 500 cameras and 210 doors to administrative and critical areas of the terminal, including boarding, arrivals and customs. It can integrate a variety of operational systems and analytical tools such as the ability to identify and track unaccompanied bags and then generate alerts so the appropriate measures can be taken.
In addition, the Security Center Plan Manager tool enables security teams to easily visualise and manage their security environments through an intuitive interface that displays the location of events and devices on geographical maps and floor plans.
“In working with Floripa Airport, we were able to provide a solution that meets their needs and that will allow them to scale and evolve in the years to come while remaining compliant with local laws and regulations,” concluded Alexandre Nastro, Vertical Sales Manager Government and Infrastructure at Genetec.
