One of SITA Lab's innovations is the concept of using digital twins to incorporate previously disparate information into better actionable insights for airports, automating processes through real-time sensors and feedback gathered around the airport for improved efficiency and safety. SITA Lab also developed a biometric boarding system that uses facial recognition technology for a more seamless passenger journey, commercialized in their SITA Smart Path solution which is in trials or fully operational at major airports globally including deployments in Miami, Beijing and Mumbai.
Sumesh Patel, SITA's President of APAC said: "Automation is more important than ever in this COVID-19 environment to better enable social distancing and passenger flow without compromising processing times.
