Characterization of automated systems integrated to a BMS: Successful case El Dorado International Airport

Abstract

The article describes and characterizes the systems integrated into the Building Management System -BMS- of El Dorado International Airport: air conditioning, electrical system, fire detection, dry extinction, vertical and horizontal transport, plumbing, handling of luggage and access control system, from an exploratory investigation. To this end, a conceptual review is carried out on the subject and a methodology is proposed where the sources are sectioned based on a categorical taxonomy. The search for information focused on the databases: IEEE Xplore, Google Scholar, and expert knowledge validated by the ORCA research group. A characterization of the automation systems that are integrated in the BMS of the airport is obtained where, analyzing the integrations, it is recurrent that manufacturers or brands work with more open protocols for integration, and not have to resort to other means integrators such as the Field Server that was used in several of the systems identified at review.
