Case Study: Williston Basin International Airport achieves unmanned exit lane security and ROI in under 18 months with dormakaba

High-Quality Exit Lane Solution from dormakaba Boosts Security at New Airport while delivering Operational Cost Savings

Williston Basin International Airport worked with dormakaba to address a major operational challenge: how to monitor arriving passengers exiting the secure airside without having to dedicate staff to the exit lane. With ongoing workforce shortages and the need to keep employees focused on higher-value passenger service tasks, the airport needed an automated, remotely monitored solution that would be efficient, secure, and cost-effective.

dormakaba implemented its PIL-MO2 16 exit lane breach control door, an unmanned exit lane solution with modular swing doors, waist-height barriers, 3D stereo sensors, audible alarms, and remote alerts for staff. The system has operated consistently since 2019, passed TSA inspections multiple times, and delivered full ROI in under 18 months while eliminating the need for dedicated exit-lane guards.
