Dafeng Industry-Leading the Culture and Sports Industry Spreading Good Happiness

At the core of Terminal 2, Hong Kong International Airport, an LED digital art canopy capable of vertical lifting, horizontal shifting and pendular swinging has become the first iconic sight greeting global passengers arriving in Hong Kong. Commissioned by OUTPUT, Dafeng co-developed this innovative art landmark.

The flexible performance of this digital art canopy stems mainly from Dafeng’s full-cycle one-stop service. Dafeng delivered a one-stop solution covering scheme design, precision manufacturing, system integration as well as installation and commissioning, successfully constructing this large multi-degree-of-freedom dynamic mechanical system. It serves not only as the highlight of Hong Kong International Airport’s renovation project, but also as a dual business card showcasing China’s smart manufacturing and Hong Kong’s urban charm to the world.

Project Highlights

Multi-DOF Dynamic Art Canopy

The integrated system combines lifting and horizontal shifting interlock functions, enabling composite motions including vertical lifting, horizontal translation and pendulum swing. It interprets spatial aesthetics through multi-dimensional dynamic movements and delivers premium textured visual art effects.

One-stop Solution Capability

Dafeng provides full-cycle one-stop services for the project, effectively cutting the owner’s coordination costs and project risks.

High-standard Safety & Compliance Design

The system design strictly complies with the safety, mechanical, electrical and fire protection codes of Hong Kong International Airport, while fully aligning with technical standards from professional consultants, building a high-standard safety protection system.

Rapid Implementation & Efficient Delivery

Faced with heavy workload and tight construction schedule, the company completed the whole process from scheme design to system implementation and commissioning in roughly half a year, which fully demonstrates its mature cross-field collaboration and rapid implementation capability.

Intelligent Linkage between Flights and Scenarios

The system can link with flight information and scenario control systems, featuring automatic scheduling, time-sharing operation and mode switching, and supports multiple application scenarios including brand events, cultural performances and emergency information release.

Enhance airport brand image and passenger experience

While ensuring 24-hour stable operation, the equipment serves as an immersive check-in attraction, further consolidating Hong Kong International Airport’s image as the city’s living room and an international gateway.

Project Challenges

Stringent safety and compliance standards

The project must satisfy multiple approval requirements and technical specifications stipulated by Hong Kong International Airport and relevant authorities concerning structural safety, fire resistance and other indicators. It complies with a host of local and international standards, featuring rigorous technical demonstration and verification procedures with heavy workload.

Large-span Suspension & Dynamic Load Control

With large LED screens suspended for installation, the system needs to take structural bearing capacity, dynamic load, vibration control and long-term fatigue performance into comprehensive consideration, posing great challenges to overall design management.

All-weather Overall Coordination for Hub Construction

As an international hub operating with high passenger density around the clock, the airport is constrained by narrow construction windows and intricate work sequencing. Multi-party overall coordination is required to guarantee construction safety while minimizing disruptions to passenger circulation routes.

In-depth Integration Across Systems & Disciplines

Deep integration is required to interconnect large-screen display, electromechanical, architectural, fire protection and airport information platform systems, imposing stringent requirements on control logic, communication protocols and fault redundancy design.

High Reliability and Easy Maintenance Design

In long-cycle and high-frequency operating conditions, it is required to guarantee safe, stable and durable performance of equipment and scientifically arrange maintenance space and service schemes, so as to cut operational risks and maintenance costs.

For Hong Kong International Airport, this dynamic oriental landmark that seems to “dance” further elevates its positioning as the city’s living room and an international gateway. For Dafeng Group, it stands as another benchmark project stemming from its in-depth layout in digital and artistic upgrading of public spaces. Moving forward, driven by cutting-edge technologies and innovative application scenarios, Dafeng will continue to deliver outstanding highlights of China’s intelligent manufacturing and indigenous innovation at landmark venues across more global cities.
