The vision and mission of a company are much more than just slogans used for marketing purposes: They represent the essence of the corporate identity, the basis on which the entire strategy is built, and the set of values that distinguish it from its competitors. Ksenia Security has made significant progress in recent years: It has built new headquarters; it has expanded its global presence; it has introduced new products and features. These significant achievements have prompted the company to redefine its strategy to effectively communicate the reasons for its existence, how it achieves its new objectives and the principles that guide every decision.

Gunnar Erlandsson, Rudolf Spielberger, Barry Norton and Todd Dunning answer GIT SECURITY’s questions on metadata and the future market. Metadata is driving the future of video and with it, the future of the security industry and the value that it can offer to businesses within and beyond the function of security and safety.
“A gas discharge between two electrodes!” This is the definition of an electric arc. If an arc like this occurs in an environment involving high energies, an enormously hot plasma with extremely strong luminosity is created through which current flows continuously. The arc also creates a massive pressure wave that results in a loud bang. This undesirable occurrence in electrical installations is correspondingly dangerous. It is referred to in this context as an arc fault. In addition to the significant damage that such arc faults can cause in the affected installations themselves, they also pose a direct threat to the life and limb of everyone who carries out their work in environments of this nature. As a specialist for electrical occupational safety, Dehn assists in creating a comprehensive arc fault protection concept to ensure better protection for people and installations.
Isolated areas and temporary, standalone applications often do not have electricity and internet connectivity.

Dirk Band, Director Sales at Wagner Group, talks about the special fire risks of lithium-ion batteries and effective protection methods.
The Wagner Group has developed a customized fire protection solution for Kettler Alu-Rad for their automated high-bay warehouse. The rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that are installed in e-bikes and stored prior to shipping present a big challenge because of the fire risk of their composition, a challenge met by Wagner Group with the help of extensive fire testing – and a combination of fire detection and fire prevention by oxygen reduction.
Bosch Building Technologies has developed an impressive range of fire protection solutions over the years and does not stop there.

The most classical detectors are smoke detectors. They are widely used and are easiest to install. Oftentimes, many will call them “point type smoke detectors” or “point detectors” which refers to the most standard ceiling-mounted detectors. Smoke detectors detect smoke particles in the air. As soon as the quality of air changes, they give out an alarm. This market research looks at products, at development and asks experts like Johnson Controls, Bosch and Siemens how their systems work and what their take on fire detection is.

A Fiber Optic Linear Heat Detection is a reliable tool for detecting fires on a photovoltaic installation. The rapid growth of solar energy worldwide has led to an increased need for reliable monitoring and fire detection in photovoltaic (PV) installations. PV systems, under high electrical loads, can generate substantial heat due to factors such as aging components, insufficient connection points, or environmental influences. Elevated temperatures can lead to electrical fires, resulting in severe damage to the PV facility and its surroundings, interruptions in power supply, and potential safety hazards.

The last time you read Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’ was probably quite a while ago. Thought-provoking, frightening, visionary … whichever you think apply, the substance of this classic science-fiction work is about a society under total surveillance, with every move foreseen, catered for, and controlled. The general public do not even have to think for themselves anymore, and safety and security are of course taken for granted. Smart cities in 2023 are not so intrusive and all-inclusive … yet. What they can do is the subject of this GIT SECURITY special focus article.
Many goods carried on conveyor systems are highly combustible with the power to ignite. Black and brown coal, biomass, industrial confetti, sulphur and recycling products are all examples of goods that can pose a fire risk during transportation. If they do ignite and the conveyor has no fire protection measures in place, then the fire can quickly spread to holding hoppers, blending, crushing or other processing areas of the plant to become a potentially major incident with catastrophic fire damage and substantial consequential losses. Transit sensors for heat detection are a good option in detecting fires in areas with sudden peaks of temperature can lead to explosions and deflagration.
