Case Study: Johan Cruijff ArenA achieves data-driven building performance and enhanced visitor experience with Honeywell

Performance and Comfort Play on the Same Team

Johan Cruijff ArenA, a 57,000‑seat, sustainability-focused stadium in Amsterdam and home of AFC Ajax, needed a flawless upgrade of its central database and Building Management System (BMS) without disrupting events, while continuing to improve visitor experience and overall building performance. Honeywell was selected to deliver an integrated, data-driven solution, deploying its digitized maintenance approach along with Honeywell Forge for Buildings and the Honeywell Building Management System.

Honeywell connected extensive sensors, controllers and third‑party systems to enable 24/7 monitoring, machine‑learning analytics and predictive maintenance so issues are detected and resolved before they affect operations. The Honeywell implementation improved database functions and building performance, boosted day‑to‑day operational efficiency and sustainability, enabled BMS controller replacement without disturbing events, enhanced visitor comfort, and delivered measurable cost and energy savings for the Johan Cruijff ArenA.
