Vision Day Conference

Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd's partners and members of the press who attended the Samsung 2010 Vision Day Conference (18-19th February 2010) heard Managing Director Mr. Jake Kim, state that the company intended to launch 170 new products during 2010, which would include the introduction of new access control, door entry, fire and intruder detection systems alongside new video surveillance product ranges.

Mr. Kim explained that considerable R&D time and financial investment had been made into the design and production of the new product ranges, which together with Samsung's analogue and IP/network based CCTV product ranges, would enable the company to offer customers a total security solution. This year will see the introduction of the WiseNet chipset which will enable Samsung to introduce a megapixel camera range with built-in advanced video analytics. The company also has ambitious plans to develop a comprehensive family of IP/network products with no less than 36 new network products being introduced during 2010. The evolution of Samsung's high performance camera ranges will also continue with the development of new advanced DSP chipsets.
The delegates to the conference also learnt that new regional customer support offices will be opened to ensure Samsung's fast growing network of distribution partners are offered the highest levels of local support. The opening of the new offices in the Nordic region, north Eastern Europe and in South Eastern Europe during 2010 will bring the total number of Samsung's local support offices to ten.
According to Mr. Kim, the recent decision to bring together the Samsung Electronics and Samsung Techwin's security product lines into a "single Samsung" supported by Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd across Europe will contribute greatly to the company achieving its vision and goals far sooner than would otherwise have been the case. "Our brand power is getting stronger and stronger now, and that will be cemented by targeted marketing throughout 2010," said Mr Kim.

The conference, which took place at the magnificent Mardan Palace Hotel in Antalya, Turkey on 18th and 19th February included an opportunity for delegates to be among the first to see and have hands-on demonstrations of many of the new products to be launched over the coming months.
