The future of security x-ray technology
Todd Research explores how security x-ray technology is changing and what the next ten years of innovation might bring to the industry.
In the world of security, constant vigilance and rapid adaptation is imperative to combat evolving threats.
At Todd Research, we have witnessed significant transformations in security x-ray tech over the years, with new innovations altering the landscape of threat detection.
As we look ahead to the next decade, future x-ray security technology is poised to revolutionise the industry once again.
Revolutionising construction with intelligent buildings
Leo Merle , Corporate Marketing Manager at Blaize takes a closer look at the role artificial intelligence could play in the development of intelligent buildings.
In the ever-evolving landscape of AI technology, intelligent buildings have emerged as a beacon of innovation, combining modern technologies and using advanced networks with sensors to optimise the building’s environment, promising enhanced efficiency, safety and comfort for occupants while optimising operations for owners.
This capacity to use advanced building technology systems and automated devices for a tailored experience sets intelligent buildings apart from conventional ones.
At the forefront of this revolution stands an opportunity to reshape the construction industry with cutting-edge solutions, spearheading the transformation towards more intelligent structures.
Elevating the aviation industry
Dr Philo Daniel, Ph D. , Global Director Aviation and Urban Security, Smiths Detection explores how airport security can be enhanced through collaborative, future-ready solutions.
Aviation screening consists of the security measures and processes implemented at airports to ensure the safety of passengers, crew, aircraft and cargo.
It involves the inspection of passengers, carry-ons and checked baggage to detect and prevent the transportation of prohibited items such as weapons, explosives and other dangerous materials that could pose a threat.
Aviation security has continuously adapted, progressed and utilised technological advancements to reduce risks posed by increasingly severe and complex threats, including explosive devices, weapons, hazardous materials and bio-threats.
Leveraging cloud technology
Steve Barton , VP of business development, PACOM , discusses his journey in the industry and emerging trends in the intelligent buildings market.
I’ve been in the industry for over 40 years – I was one of the co-founders of PACOM Systems back in the 1980s.
I’ve worked in the security industry for all those years, mostly developing products. So I’ve got a very strong development background. I spent a lot of time doing the development of all the original products.
I left PACOM around 2016 and started a company called SPG Controls. That company started developing cloud software, IoT devices, moving us into space where I thought the industry was going. (SPG Controls has since been acquired by PACOM.)
Project Focus: Essence SmartCare partners with Colchester City Council for telecare solutions
Essence SmartCare has partnered with Colchester City Council to enhance the county’s alarm service infrastructure using Essence SmartCare’s digital telecare solutions.
According to the partnership, residents of Colchester benefit from Essence SmartCare products, equipped with advanced connectivity to ensure a transition for the analogue to digital switchover.
Colchester City Council was also provided with trial equipment, staff training and technical support to maintain the products helping seniors age in place safely.
The transition from analogue to digital telecommunications infrastructure in the UK was threatening the safety of approximately 1,700 Colchester seniors using analogue telecare systems.
Product Focus: Genetec releases new cloud-management solution
Genetec has announced the release of Genetec 110, the latest addition to its line of cloud-management security appliances.
According to the company, this compact device is specifically designed to simplify video management in low-density deployments, providing a versatile solution that enables customers to transition to cloud or hybrid environments at their own pace.
With a micro form factor, support for up to eight cameras and 1 TB of local storage on an ultra-endurance micro-SD card, Cloudlink 110 is designed for smaller sites within larger deployments and locations with limited hardware space.
The Cloudlink 110 enhances video workload optimization and cloud integration, ensuring interoperability between local and cloud environments in hybrid deployments.
