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.

Climate activists belonging to the “Last Generation” group succeeded in gaining access to the apron of both the new Berlin airport and also the airport in Munich, and then glueing themselves to the tarmac. These serious security breaches caused chaos for thousands of people, with the consequences lasting several days while causing significant direct and indirect costs for passengers, airline companies and their suppliers, as well as the airport operators themselves. Just when we thought we had perimeter security covered, these troublemakers – very easily – proved us wrong, so GIT SECURITY has taken a quick look at some of the latest technology available to help keep airports secure, inside and outside.
The complete protection of critical infrastructure, in particular in the energy and supply sector, has been a mainstay of Senstar for many years, a provider of integrated security solutions that include video technology, access control and sensors for perimeter protection.

The predicted lack of sufficient energy caused by the interruption of gas supplied from Russia, the drastic price increase of certain raw materials and, above all, the attacks on the Nordstream 1 and 2 pipelines, as well as the attacks on the German railway network, have raised public awareness and that of politics, commerce and the media of just how critical and threatened critical infrastructure is (KRITIS). Highlighting the complexity of KRITIS, the strategy, options and limits of its protection, as well as the necessity of emergency planning, is the aim of this article by Reinhard Rupprecht, Ministerial Director (retired).

The digitalization of buildings of all sizes promises to deliver significant benefits for their owners, operators, and the individual users. It already made the automation of system controls possible using smart technology a long time ago – but when confronted by increasing complexity, artificial intelligence makes its welcome appearance. First of all, you build a digital twin of the building, such as Bosch Building Technologies does. This provides the most transparent view of all the elements of the building’s technology – and shows their most efficient way of working together. GIT SECURITY spoke about the subject with Andreas Mauer, Chief Architect at Bosch Building Technologies.
A recent Future Forum survey found that 58 % of knowledge workers already follow a hybrid work pattern: “Flexibility is the expectation – and increasingly the norm,” the report concludes. Further growth in flexible working is a certainty. These changing work patterns make flexibility in security even more critical. Choosing the right access control solution makes a big difference.
