Flughafen Wien Aktiengesellschaft

Vienna Airport is a highly frequented airport with more than 100,000 passengers per day and is considered a critical transport and supply infrastructure for the entire country. To ensure smooth operations, a reliable, high-performance, and modern security solution is necessary.
The modernization and expansion of the security systems must be carried out during ongoing operations and without restrictions for travelers.
The airport comprises more than 40 buildings with 1,800 passages that require a secure alarm management system.
A comprehensive camera system with approximately 2,700 cameras is required to ensure the safety of employees and passengers.
Ensuring access only for authorized personnel (employees) through 1,300 access controls and biometric solutions (e.g., SiPalm) for sensitive areas.
Simultaneously, intelligent control of passenger flows through dynamic door control systems to ensure efficiency and safety.
The door control system, as a central element of operational flight handling, must be seamlessly integrated with other IT systems for aircraft processing to allow for dynamic adaptation to real flight movements. The entire system must meet the highest security standards, function reliably 24/7 in continuous operation, and be as unobtrusive and convenient as possible for travelers to ensure a smooth and stress-free stay.

Siemens addressed the complex security requirements of Vienna Airport with a comprehensive suite of modern and integrated solutions:

Comprehensive security management: Integration of a new alarm management system covering over 1,800 access points in more than 40 buildings, as well as approximately 2,700 cameras. This is complemented by 1,300 access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can enter specific areas.
Intelligent passenger flow management: Implementation of an intelligent door control system in the Terminal Operation Center. This system dynamically guides passengers through the correct access points in Terminal 3. Based on real-time flight data, it adjusts the accessibility of doors across the three levels and controls the use of walkways, escalators, and elevators for efficient and smooth processing.
Biometric high security: Deployment of the biometric hand vein scanner SiPalm to ensure the highest security standards in sensitive areas. Access is granted exclusively by matching biometric hand vein patterns, which represents one of the most secure identification methods worldwide.
24/7 service readiness: Siemens ensures continuous operational readiness of all systems around the clock to guarantee uninterrupted airport operations.
