Any company trying to gain visibility into its operations has likely grappled with not being able to see and act on data to improve performance. A big part of this is in disparate information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems. Australian business optimization and integration company Nukon integrated disparate systems at Melbourne Airport- providing a use case of how integration and harnessing real-time data can improve efficiencies in any industry.
Nukon received the TIBCO Business Innovation Excellence Award for the project. Pictured are Murray Rode (TIBCO)\, Andrew May (Nukon)\, and Gaurav Dhall (TIBCO) in Singapore\,
March 2017.
The project integrated IT and OT systems, such as baggage handling, aircraft real-time positions, and customer check-in, for a representation of all operations. The result allows airport managers, operators, and external providers to visualize potential opportunities or threats that might affect the customer's journey through the airport, and plan and react accordingly.
The problem
In a move toward smart cities,- Melbourne Airport required a view of the entire airport's operations, from customer arrival and baggage carousels, to ground operations and flight scheduling.
The solution
Multiple siloed IT and OT systems were integrated into a user-friendly interface. The aggregated data is presented on a wall of screens in the airport's new Enhanced Airport Coordination Centre and can also be displayed on a desktop computer or mobile devices.
How did we do it?
Multiple technologies were used by the team to integrate operational silos, such as landside transport, aircraft positioning, vehicle information, vehicle flow, flight schedules, fire systems, asset management systems, check in, and baggage handling. An integrated software platform was used to handle each of the following: adapt data from external systems; interpret, aggregate, and publish incoming data streams; and allow automation capabilities and integration of operational technology sources.
The general approach was to capture, process, and clean- relevant events from each disparate system and publish them to the live visual application. From there, the data could be merged, and integrated with business rules, giving operators a consolidated view of those events in real time. Without being highly integrated, this task would be challenging. An organization would need to have a large number of screens and consult a large number of systems all at the same time.
The system has these capabilities:
Live visual status of assets, such as moving aircraft, check-in counters, baggage carousels, and building services
Display of emergency (and preventative maintenance) work orders, as they happen
Ability to explore what if- scenarios by accessing data, applying business logic, and modeling
Integration with various IT or OT systems, including the Internet of Things
The main airport deliverables were:
Real-time geospatial mashup of data streams in a fully interactive map
Incident identification and management
Industry-leading analytics and predictive capabilities for proactive resource and demand management
Facilitation of collaborative decision making between airport operators, service providers, stakeholders, and airlines to improve customer service
Fully supported commercial off-the-shelf platform with a long-term development road map, minimizing the time to value-
Support for continuously working toward greater operational innovation and efficiency
Set of core integration technologies that enable the enterprise strategic vision
Lessons for integrating IT and OT:
The solution has real-use applications for industries, such as mining, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, supply chain management, and infrastructure development.
At this time, technology and integration is ahead of people and process, which can cause project failure.
Any business wanting to implement a similar system should think in terms of scale: start small, apply the right foundational systems, and then choose when to expand at relatively low cost.
Do not bite off everything at once, just take on a subset of systems and then expand the solution incrementally.

More than that, he deduced, the man had vanished and yet, after he was gone, there had come that unexpected descent of the rolling door which had first made them think themselves trapped. Sandy argued, and with good common sense, that a ghost, in broad sunny daylight, was a silly way to account for the man. He also felt that it was equally unjust to credit the drop of the door to gravity. Friction drums are not designed to allow the ropes on them to slip, especially if there is no jolt or jar to shake them. Walpole, however, continued to oppose the South Sea Bill in the Commons, declaring that the terms were too extravagant ever to be fulfilled; that the experiment could result in nothing but a fearful increase of the costs of stockjobbing, and final confusion and ruin. He insisted that, before the proposals of the Company were accepted,[47] the rise of their stock should be limited, and every means taken to prevent the fever of infatuation that would ensue from the promise of dividends out of funds which could never be realised. He proposed for this purpose the introduction of a clause fixing the number of years' purchase to be granted to the annuitants of the South Sea Company; but to this it was objected that it was the interest of the Company to take up the annuities; and, as the annuitants had the power of coming in or not, as they pleased, the Company would, of course, offer advantageous terms, and, therefore, the whole affair might be safely left to private adjustment. Aislabie added that the South Sea Company would not submit to be controlled in an undertaking they were to pay so dear for. The Bill passed both Houses. As the woollen manufactures of Ireland had received a check from the selfishness of the English manufacturers, it was sought to compensate the Protestants of Ulster by encouraging the linen manufacture there, which the English did not value so much as their woollen. A Board was established in Dublin in 1711, and one also in Scotland in 1727, for the purpose of superintending the trade, and bounties and premiums on exportation were offered. In these favourable circumstances the trade rapidly grew, both in Ireland and Scotland. In 1750 seven and a half million yards of linen were annually woven in Scotland alone. "Pardon me, Lieutenant¡ªI should perhaps say Captain"¡ªinterrupted Lieut. Bowersox, with much sweetness of manner, "but the most of us are familiar with your views as to the inferiority of the discipline of the Western Armies to that of the Army of the Potomac and European armies, so that we need not take up the' time of the court with its reiteration. What farther happened?" "Sure," Dodd said. "But I mean people. And you want the same things we do. You want a little comfort out of life, a little security¡ªsome food, say, and enough food for tomorrow. Right?" "Why, two shillings is too much fur farm-folks lik us to give fur a pound of chocolate. It's naun but a treat, and we can do wudout it." At last they came to Castweasel¡ªthree old cottages and a ruined one, leaning together in a hollow like mushrooms. Beside the ruined cottage a tree-trunk was lying, and Rose suddenly stretched herself with a little sigh. "I'm sorry," he said sheepishly. Rate, skate, and crabs. Farewell, farewell, you jolly young girls! HoMEɧµÄ»¤Ê¿ÃÃÃÃ
