SITA and Envision Digital Collaborate to Support Airports in Achieving Net Zero Goals through Cost-Effective Solutions

SITA and Envision Digital Collaborate to Support Airports in Achieving Net Zero Goals through Cost-Effective Solutions.
The companies have developed solutions that allow real-time data IoT flows, enabling airports to monitor and report their energy usage.

As part of the partnership, SITA will create a new Center of Excellence to accelerate product development and customer project delivery.

SITA, a prominent IT provider for the air transport industry, and Envision Digital, a Singapore-based global leader in net-zero solutions and Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) technology, have recently formed a partnership to aid airports in reducing operational costs and achieving their net-zero targets.

Through collaborative efforts, the companies have developed cutting-edge solutions that facilitate real-time data IoT flows, enabling airports to monitor and report their energy consumption, emissions from aircraft and vehicles, and overall carbon footprint. Leveraging insights from these data streams, airports can implement measures to reduce consumption costs and emissions. Additionally, the solutions pave the way for airports to integrate and manage renewable energy sources in the future.

The introduction of these solutions is integral to SITA’s Total Airport Management concept, a comprehensive approach that empowers airports to efficiently oversee all aspects of their operations while prioritizing sustainability in their decision-making processes.

Drew Griffiths, Head of SITA AT AIRPORTS, said “Today, SITA works with nearly 1,000 airports globally to manage every aspect of their operations, from baggage and passenger processing to airside and aircraft operations. Supporting airports to reduce costs and cut their greenhouse gas emissions is a natural extension of this offering and one our customers have asked for. We look forward to working with Envision in delivering this new capability as part of our wider airport offering.” 

To expedite product development and customer project delivery, SITA is establishing a new Center of Excellence as part of this strategic partnership.

Michael Ding, Global Executive Director at Envision Digital, said “Airports have been progressive in their ambition to reach net zero. This partnership combines our AIoT leadership with SITA’s expertise in the air transport industry to create low-carbon aviation solutions that help the industry to reach its goal.”
