The infrastructure market
You’ve dreamt so long about this exotic trip...
Now the plane’s landed,
and you’re off to claim your bags.
Next stop: the beach!
Question
Without Schneider Electric, would you have had such
a smooth trip?
11 Explanation
When you got to the airport, you left your car in the parking lot
and made your way to check-in. The illuminated board told you
the boarding gate. A jetway took you to the plane and you had
a pleasant flight. Now you’re waiting for your bags, which are
about to come around the carrousel. At each of these stages,
Schneider automated control devices were working around the
clock to make sure all systems were operating properly.
22 Demonstration
■The lights on the airfield, in the parking lot, and in the airport buildings get their power supply
through miles of Telemecanique Canalis busbar trunking.
■The control panels for the departures and arrivals boards are managed by programmable logic
controllers. They display all the required information automatically and in real time.
■The jetways and escalators are driven by Modicon/Telemecanique Momentum programmable
logic controllers and Telemecanique Altivar 58 speed drives.
■The electric power distribution for runway lights is handled by Merlin Gerin or Square D
distribution switchboards.
■The fully automated baggage handling system is also controlled by Schneider Electric.
33 Benefits for the customer
■Optimized power distribution, ensuring uninterrupted service whatever the external conditions.
■Automation of numerous machines, reducing the risk of error.
■Instant detection of any anomaly, ensuring complete security for all vital functions.
