THE CHALLENGE

Large airports run on fragmented infrastructure. Electricity meters from one vendor. Water monitoring
from another. Gas tracked separately. Conveyor belts, escalators, HVAC each system reporting to
different teams.

MWAA faced this exact problem across their airport environment.

No unified view meant slow problem detection. Equipment failures disrupted passenger operations.
Energy waste went unnoticed. Maintenance teams worked blind.

Traditional solution: Rip everything out. Replace with new infrastructure. Months of
disruption. Millions in capital spend.

Not realistic for a functioning airport.

THE SOLUTION

Airport Case Study

Milvian’s Aqueduct platform connects to existing infrastructure without replacement.

Works with what’s already installed:

  • Electricity, water, and gas meters
  • Conveyor belts and baggage systems
  • Escalators and passenger equipment
  • HVAC and environmental controls

Handles mixed protocols pulse, Modbus, BACnet regardless of age or vendor.

One platform. Real-time data. No infrastructure disruption.

IMPLEMENTATION

Deployed non-invasive IoT sensors across critical systems.

Connected to existing meters and equipment using native protocols. No meter replacement. No downtime
during installation.

Integrated data streams into Aqueduct’s unified platform.

Teams got immediate visibility into operations that were previously siloed across departments and
systems.

Implementation happened while the airport continued normal operations.

RESULTS

1. Operational Visibility

One view across all utility meters and operational assets. Teams see electricity, water, gas, and
equipment performance in real-time instead of checking separate systems.

2. Faster Problem Detection

Equipment issues trigger immediate alerts. Maintenance teams respond to conveyor belt failures,
escalator problems, and HVAC anomalies before passengers are impacted.

3. Lower Operating Costs

Energy waste detected and corrected. Water leaks caught early. Maintenance shifted from reactive
repairs to planned interventions.

4. Infrastructure Preserved

Zero meter replacement. Existing investments protected while gaining modern monitoring
capabilities.

5. Foundation for AI Operations

Unified data enables predictive maintenance. Platform ready for AI-driven optimization as
operations mature.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR INDIA & UAE

Airports in high-growth markets face the same challenge: aging infrastructure that still works, but
lacks modern monitoring.

Full replacement isn’t feasible. Passenger volumes keep growing. Capital budgets are constrained.

Milvian enables incremental modernization:

  • Use existing meters and systems
  • Add unified visibility immediately
  • Build toward predictive operations
  • Replace infrastructure only when it fails
