The Pearl River surges, and the global tides expand. From September 8th to 10th, the 2025 International Airport Expo was grandly held at the Canton Fair Complex in Guangzhou. During the expo, Wang Jue, Chairman and President of Brilliant Technologies, was invited to attend the seminar themed "Digital Intelligence Driven · Ecological Collaboration: Building a Community for High-Quality Development of Civil Aviation" and delivered a keynote speech titled "AI Digital Twins Empower Civil Aviation Airports Intelligent Construction". He analyzed the development trends, industry challenges, and solutions for smart airport construction from perspectives such as industrial policies and technological innovation, and further shared Brilliant Technologies's practical implementation and innovative achievements in the digital and intelligent operation of airports.

In recent years, under the guidance of the strategy of building a strong civil aviation country, various regions across China have vigorously promoted the digital transformation and intelligent construction of the civil aviation industry, and the development of smart airports has achieved remarkable results. However, they also face many challenges, such as incomplete standard systems, insufficient comprehensive perception coverage, serious obstacles to data sharing, and the need for improvement in intelligent decision-making. These issues fail to meet the needs of efficient operation of smart airports.

Wang Jue, Chairman and President of Brilliant Technologies, believes that AI digital twin technology combined with policy promotion is reshaping the new ecosystem of the civil aviation industry and has become a powerful tool to realize the transformation of airports towards "experience digitalization, data intelligence, and scenario collaboration".

Digital Twin BLinkOS+: Empowering the Whole-Airport Management

In recent years, the ASBU Framework of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and relevant policies of the Civil Aviation Administration of China have provided strong guidance for the upgrading of the whole-airport management. Against this background, Brilliant Technologies has developed the Total Airport Management (TAM) solution based on the application of AI + digital twin. This solution integrates the core capabilities of Airport Collaborative Decision-Making (A-CDM) and Airport Operations Center (APOC), incorporates airside and landside business processes as well as multi-subject data into a unified collaborative environment, and realizes precise control of the entire process from flight plan formulation to flight landing, thereby maximizing the improvement of airspace utilization efficiency and resource management level.

As the core technical foundation supporting the solution, the AI Digital Twin Operating System BLinkOS+ has built a "super brain" for smart airports with a three-in-one structure of "data center + twin center + intelligent center". It can not only support the import of nearly 100 types of data from different sources and in different formats, quickly construct airport scenarios using generative AI 3D reconstruction technology, and have a large number of built-in civil aviation industry model assets to realize the integration and convergence of dynamic multi-source business data. At the same time, it can also use AI technology to conduct intelligent identification, intelligent algorithm analysis, intelligent judgment, and intelligent prediction on various types of accessed data, assisting airport managers in making more scientific, efficient, and reasonable management decisions. It realizes airport data circulation, whole-airport situation awareness, simulation and deduction, resource management, and auxiliary intelligent decision-making.

Wang Jue, Chairman and President ofBrilliant Technologies, stated that the whole-airport management is not simply integrating existing systems, but rather providing comprehensive digital support, data space, and intelligent decision-making, changing the traditional airport management model, and ultimately realizing the digital and intelligent transformation of the entire life cycle of airports.

AI + Digital Twin Technology Core: Empowering Smart Civil Aviation Applications

Based on the powerful technical core of "AI + digital twin",Brilliant Technologies has developed a series of intelligent application service solutions focusing on key areas of airports such as operation support, passenger services, and safety management. These solutions have demonstrated strong empowerment effects and further helped civil aviation airports upgrade towards digitalization and intelligence.

In terms of smart airport operation, it realizes the integration of all-element data, the connection of all business processes, the restoration of all-scenario situations, and all-round intelligent early warning. Through simulation and prediction of apron flight operations and terminal passenger clearance processes, it provides strong support for airport operation decisions and optimizes core elements such as flight plans and gate assignments.

In terms of smart safety, with the help of AI visual analysis and event models, it conducts intelligent supervision of airport apron safety, realizes the closed-loop management of the entire life cycle of events, and promotes the transformation of airport safety management from passive response to active prevention. The runway incursion prevention and early warning system adopts domestic Beidou satellites and advanced chip technology to achieve centimeter-level positioning and millisecond-level early warning, building an integrated cloud-edge-terminal prevention and control system. With the support of AI, emergency rescue management has realized five key transformations including command and dispatch and resource management, improving emergency response capabilities.

In terms of smart management, the intelligent operation and maintenance of airport digital assets constructs digital portraits of the health status of facilities and equipment through predictive maintenance models, improving operational efficiency and reducing costs. The intelligent inspection and evaluation of pavement uses on-vehicle AI technology to detect various pavement defects, and the intelligent identification of obstacle limitation surface uses satellite remote sensing image change detection models to improve management efficiency and safety.

In terms of smart energy, by establishing a panoramic model of airport facilities, equipment, and energy consumption, and using AI algorithms and reinforcement learning to dynamically optimize energy allocation strategies, it realizes the intelligent automatic control of terminal equipment and helps build green airports.

Wang Jue, Chairman and President of Brilliant Technologies, emphasized that AI digital twin technology has moved from "proof of concept" to "large-scale implementation" and has been widely applied in the field of smart civil aviation construction. By 2025, Brilliant Technologies's digital services have covered more than 40 civil aviation airports, including Beijing Capital International Airport, Beijing Daxing International Airport, and Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, establishing its leading strength in the field of civil aviation digital twin.

In the future, Brilliant Technologies. will continue to deepen the integrated application of AI digital twin technology in the field of civil aviation airports, constantly improve the smart airport product and service system, continue to empower the digital transformation of the entire life cycle of airports, and contribute "Brilliant Technologies Wisdom" to promoting the high-quality development of global smart civil aviation.
