At IFSEC International 2018, Christian Horner, Team Principal of Aston Martin Red Bull Racing and Zoe Chilton, Head of Technical Partnerships, will discuss the Formula One team’s Innovation Partnership with FLIR in the new Keynote Arena.
To secure its Milton Keynes site, Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Team recently upgraded its CCTV system with security monitoring technology from FLIR. The facility now has some 120 cameras, visible and thermal, that cover the area 24/7. Cameras on site include FLIR’s Quasar 4K and QHD versions, plus the thermal FLIR FC-Series ID. The entire camera network is managed by FLIR’s video management software United VMS. Zoe Chilton will present on the security project at the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing HQ.
IFSEC International says this is part of its shift towards becoming a high-level integrated security summit; showing the possibilities technology provides.
Rachel Eaton, Brand Manager of IFSEC International said: “This partnership is a prime example of how innovation and collaboration can lead to success, which is something IFSEC International is proud to both advocate and facilitate. By igniting progress through partnerships and leveraging the power of complementary levels of expertise, expectations can be exceeded, while people and products can stay ahead of the curve.”
After a career racing in F3, F2 and F3000, Christian Horner founded the Arden International Racing Team. Arden dominated the final years of the F3000 championship, and when Red Bull Racing debuted in 2005, Horner was appointed Team Principal. Horner has built the team from humble beginnings, making astute driver signings, but also building up a technical base to rival teams with larger resources. Inheriting the remnants of the Jaguar Team, Horner set about reinvigorating each department in pursuit of a dedicated squad motivated by the single goal of reaching the top.
Zoe leads a team managing key relationships with Red Bull Racing’s technical and innovation partners, based in Milton Keynes, UK. The diverse portfolio of 14 Partnerships spans a range of technical capabilities and products – from some of the World’s biggest names in telecoms and IT, to manufacturing and product development.
On technical innovation, she said: “I’ve always been a fanatic about learning how things work; my love of motorsport spawned from my love of learning new things, so the relentless pace of innovation and evolution at Red Bull Racing is a fascinating environment to work in. It’s great to be able to share that excitement with our partners and guests, and tell the story of the incredible engineering and technology journey we’re on. It never stops, there’s always something new and interesting to talk about.”
