To avoid data errors and time delays , we paid special attention to the consistent planning of the building and room automation from the beginning .
With around 200 ventilation systems involved in the Terminal 3 design , this was a significant advantage in time saving .
“ When planning building automation projects , the automatic generation of data point keys as well as the ability to change them quickly and easily afterwards is very important ,” says Heike Frommhold , CANZLER GmbH .
The system key developed for the project , including user address and data point , consists of a total of 31 digits . The automated creation of data point keys is also possible with WSCAD for projects using existing keys . When changes are made , the software automatically updates the system key across all data points . The plug-ins for building automation-specific data point keys supplied with WSCAD ’ s software , as well as the extensive symbol library with article data , also increased the speed of design with no need for manual or bespoke generation .
Fraport and CANZLER also benefitted from WSCAD ’ s database that enables simple export of all project data , and projectspecific article databases can be easily created to bespoke standards and formats . For both design and data management , CANZLER found the software intuitive to use from the start . The next step in the development of Frankfurt ’ s Terminal 3 is to implement the building automation itself .
“ Airports are complex and technically sophisticated buildings that require a special planning ,” says Uwe Eckhardt , “ and thanks to WSCAD we are on track to deliver the project to schedule .”
