Control Platform

by msecadm4921

At IFSEC, ASL Safety & Security (Hall 5 Stand D85) will be unveiling iVENCS, the first in a new generation of 3D-based situation management and integrated control platforms.

Aimed at mission-critical facilities, iVENCS is a sensor and event fusion environment in which voice, data and video can be filtered, analysed and directed from across the full spectrum of subsystems found on projects including CCTV, access control, perimeter intrusion, telephony, BMS, vehicle barriers, fire, intercom, data networks, Passenger Information Displays, Public Address and Voice Alarm.

Use of a distributed and open standards-based ‘publish and subscribe’ model for messaging delivers it’s claimed efficient use of bandwidth compared with the current generation of ‘hub and spoke’ architecture control room software. This means the system can be scaled from, say, a single workstation at a school to a global network of oil facilities monitored centrally from regional command hubs.

Sousan Azimrayat, Director of ASL, said: “Our visual expectations have been altered by innovations such as the iPhone and Google Earth. We now look for real-time, three-dimensional animation and fingertip control. Life safety decisions need to informed and rapid. ASL has invested in providing control room operators with tools to visualise, explore, and act on relevant data.”

At IFSEC 2010 ASL will be demonstrating iVENCS in use at a major international airport and at St Pancras International Station, a case study for iVENCS with over 8,500 field devices across 16 sub-systems.
