Xovis Wins First Airport Contract in China at Major China Silk Road Hub
Intelligent people flow solutions at the new Ezhou Huahu Airport: as part of the China Silk Road, the Chinese city of Ezhou, located on the middle section of the Yangtze River, is being developed into the world's fourth and Asia's first international aviation logistics hub. The new airport, developed by SF Express Co., is at the project's core. By 2025, around 1 million passengers are expected to use the airport, a number that may well increase to 1.5 million by 2030.
Xovis’ people flow solution will - as part of a bigger security solution by Xovis’ local partner Ruiyuan Huade Technologies Ltd. - be installed in the airports’ terminal security area. Monitoring queues leading up to the security checkpoint and providing relevant KPIs will enhance the passenger experience at the airport.
"Ruiyuan is excited to embark on this journey with Xovis, as we see further opportunities for joint projects in China", says Mr. Zhang Shu, CEO of Ruiyuan.
"Ezhou Huahu Airport, a greenfield airport in China, is also the first Chinese customer that Xovis has been able to secure together with local partner Ruiyuan. “This is a very important strategic step for Xovis,– and we are honored to have won the trust of the development partners of Ezhou airports, namely SF Express. We are thrilled to be a part of this project", says Andreas Fähndrich, CEO of Xovis AG.
