Perimeter Protection 2018

The Nuremberg exhibition center will host Perimeter Protection, the international exhibition for perimeter protection, fencing and building security, in January for the fifth time. Trade visitors can inspect the latest mechanical and electronic systems for outdoor perimeter protection. Keeping pace with developments, there will also be a new area this year, dedicated to drone detection and defense. A Perimeter Protection congress – organized by the Association for Security Technology (VfS) – will run in parallel to the exhibition on the first two days.

According to Alexander Stein, project manager of Perimeter Protection, the preparations for the exhibition could not be going any better: “The exhibition team is currently working flat out and with much success. We have already allocated almost 4,700 square meters space to exhibitors. That is more space than the 2016 exhibition covered altogether. Visitors can look forward to a comprehensive range of active and passive security technology.” Providers of both these types will come together with purchasers from the industry, authorities and municipalities as well as from building services engineers and integrators of building security systems.
The broad spectrum of product technologies covered by this event shows just how clever security solutions need to be these days. Starting with fences, sliding doors and gates, visitors will find, amongst other solutions, sentry boxes, motion detectors, microwave surveillance, retracting bollards, locking systems and video surveillance, and even tough postboxes on display.

Drone Detection and Defense
Stein also believes that the special area dedicated to the subject of drone detection and defense will be a highlight: “Drone defense is now an important aspect of perimeter security. Appropriate measures are essential, especially for protecting critical infrastructure. We hope to pick up on this important subject with our special area which will be positioned at the heart of all exhibition activities.” Interested companies should get in touch with the Perimeter Protection team as soon as possible if they wish to secure themselves an attractive stand location.

Congress Program
Trade visitors to Perimeter Protection can look forward to the accompanying security congress on the first two days of the exhibition. The Association for Security Technology (VfS) has organized speakers from companies, consultancy firms and planning offices who will discuss the optimal exterior security of outdoor areas in concise presentations. Important subjects in 2018 will include, amongst others: Secure Access – a complex challenge between access regulation, burglary protection, fire protection and escape route regulation; Drone Detection – from the test laboratory to actual use as well as Integrated Security – the coordinated interaction of man and technology for increased efficiency.
The Perimeter Protection Congress is aimed, on the one hand, at planners and manufacturers and, on the other hand, at authorities, users and system builders. Given that the congress rooms are close to the exhibition hall, participants can bring themselves up-to-date about the latest technology in the sector between presentations or on the third day of the exhibition.
Getting there should be no problem as the city of Nuremberg (“Nürnberg” is one and the same place) is very well connected by road, rail and air. National flights land at Nuremberg Airport from many major cities such as Hamburg, Berlin, Dusseldorf and Frankfurt, alongside international flights from Vienna, Zurich, Paris, Milan, Brussels, London and Amsterdam, amongst others. The event is open from 9am to 5pm on the 16th and 17th January and from 9am to 4pm on the 18th January.
