How a Button is Transforming Airport Operations: Amorph Systems and Flic's Game-Changing Partnership

In the high-stakes environment of an international airport, operations must be seamless, adaptable, and quick to implement. Yet, complex infrastructures often require creative approaches to solve challenges where standard solutions simply don’t fit. When Amorph Systems, a leader in data-driven automation, encountered such a scenario at Munich Airport, they found an elegant, wireless answer in Flic Smart Buttons.

Here’s how this simple, versatile tool is helping reimagine operational efficiency and inspiring new solutions in the industry.

The Challenge: Limited Space, High Regulation, and the Need for Flexibility

Airports run on strict timelines and even stricter regulations. Adding new hardware or wiring into this environment can mean lengthy approvals, not to mention challenges with space and layout. As Amorph Systems sought a way to give Munich Airport staff precise control over alarm systems, they were met with barriers to installing wired control buttons—a challenge familiar to many industries working within highly regulated, complex spaces.

“In an airport environment, installing wired systems or hardware can be extremely difficult due to space and regulatory constraints” explains Alexandra Ciorascu at Amorph Systems. “We needed something compact, wireless, and simple to install—yet robust enough to meet our operational needs.”

The Solution: A wireless fully programmable button

For Amorph Systems, Flic’s compact, wireless smart buttons offered an efficient and low-impact way to manage the alarm system. Through the Flic Hub, the buttons integrate directly with Amorph’s RESTful APIs, empowering staff to pause operations or deactivate alarms at the push of a button—no cables or complex installations are required.

Andreas Hofmann, Director of Business Development at Amorph Systems explains: “The integration was seamless, we were able to go wireless and meet all our requirements without the complications that wired systems would have brought.”

The Results: Zero Maintenance, High Impact

Since installation, Flic has proven both efficient and exceptionally reliable. Over the last year, the buttons have continued to perform without a single support request, while their battery life has remained strong even with frequent daily use.

“The true success here is the system’s simplicity and reliability,” says Alexandra Ciorascu. “Flic has operated flawlessly since installation—no need for adjustments, no disruptions, just straightforward functionality.”

For Amorph Systems, the decision to use Flic was more than solving a pressing need; it was an opportunity to explore how wireless solutions could empower operations in spaces constrained by layout, regulation, or complexity. By bypassing the need for wiring and lengthy approval processes, Flic buttons offer a scalable, flexible solution that other industries can learn from.

The Future: A Shared Vision for Innovation

As Amorph Systems looks to the future, they envision their partnership with Flic evolving to meet the demands of an increasingly automated and connected world. By integrating technologies like LiDAR, AI, and IoT, they’re setting new standards in airport management and beyond, pushing the boundaries of what wireless control and automation can achieve.

“With Flic, we see endless possibilities. Our collaboration allows us to empower our customers to operate with greater flexibility and efficiency, and we’re excited to discover where we can innovate next.”
