Fulmar, the new solution developed by Ikusi to allow airport managers to monitor and track passengers in real-time, will be unveiled and on display at ACI North America in Tampa, Florida from September 15 to 17. This new solution allows airport operations to know the status of critical points such as check-in, security filters and immigration at any given time. Come visit us at booth 1240 to see a live demonstration of its capabilities and learn about the benefits of Fulmar.
Ikusi has combined facial recognition technology, crowd analytics and WiFi tracking to offer airports a unique solution for passenger monitoring and tracking that will mean greater accuracy and a lower deployment cost.
The facial recognition algorithm, developed by Ikusi, provides excellent performance even in the most challenging situations. The crowd analysis technology offers a real-time, deep-learning model for busy environments. Furthermore, Fulmar connects to the existing WiFi infrastructure and tracks passengers during their transit through the airport. This technology, together with facial recognition and crowd analytics, allows passenger flow to be monitored in areas without sensors.
Some of the benefits offered by this solution, which is marketed under the name of Fulmar, include the application of facial biometric technology supported by cameras in the market, a reduction in the number of sensors installed and the possibility to predict passenger demand through the inclusion of historical data in the analysis.
Fulmar, driving non-aeronautical revenue
Fulmar’s monitoring and tracking capacity can also be applied for the optimisation of the airport’s commercial activities.
The combination of Fulmar and the Drangonfly solution, also developed by Ikusi, which captures sales in real time by using a wide range of integration methods, drives commercial revenue generation by correctly aligning the interests and needs of passengers/buyers, concessionaires and the airport operator itself.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
This white paper discusses the hardware deployed, the test results and the annualized expectations for ROI.
