Siemens and Munich Airport agree on strategic partnership for digitalization

Siemens and Munich Airport have forged a strategic partnership for digitalization in order to work on the airport's digital future together with further partners. Over the coming years, the partners want to use data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and artificial intelligence to improve, for instance, the energy efficiency of airport buildings and the logistics for the baggage handling system. Plans also call for using these capabilities to make the time that passengers spend at the facility more pleasant. To meet these goals, Siemens is becoming a developmental partner for LabCampus, the major project for the airport's digital future. For the digital technologies, Siemens is using MindSphere, its open, cloud-based operating system for the Internet of Things.
