International. Security and Safety Things GmbH and Prosegur announced their collaboration on the development of a new Security Operations Center (SOC) environment, leveraging the intelligence of Innovative Video Analytics infused with Artificial Intelligence and the expertise of Prosegur's human operators to enhance security services for customers around the world.
Prosegur will incorporate AI video analytics applications from the Security & Safety Things (S&ST) platform to Prosegur's "SOC as a service" offering. Edge analytics applications, which run directly on cameras or devices equipped with the S&ST operating system, will intelligently pre-filter incoming events from customer locations and augment human decisions to improve monitoring, management and response to alarms.
These new levels of automation increase serviceability for customers and reduce the number of truck visits, which in turn allows Prosegur to more efficiently implement its service and support operations.
"Improving real-time monitoring with artificial intelligence helps improve real-time operational decision-making, ultimately resulting in better security and faster response times for our customers," said Matt Sack, executive chairman of Prosegur Security USA. "We greatly value our partnership with Security & Safety Things for their collaborative approach to creating customized and innovative solutions that deliver added value to our customers, and we look forward to continuing to jointly drive innovation for the entire industry."
The open Security & Safety Things platform enables the deployment of AI-enabled analytics applications on devices running the S&ST open operating system. These applications are highly customizable for customer use case or vertical need and can run on a wide variety of cameras from different manufacturers and form factors. Analytics applications can detect with very low latency the relevant details in a scene and bring them to the attention of operators, giving them the true situational awareness needed for rapid response to prevent incidents and save lives without the need to monitor dozens of video streams.
"Security & Safety Things' business model of making AI video analytics available to customers around the world through an open app store is unique in the industry. We are proud to innovate with Prosegur to generate additional value for their business and their customers," said Hartmut Schaper, CEO of Security & Safety Things. "This partnership provides a blueprint for how new business models can be innovated using open platforms and AI, and underscores once again that joint innovation will shape the future of our industry."
The nearly 100 unique applications available in the S&ST Application Store provide end users with operational security intelligence for their application: foot traffic in a retail store, presence of security equipment used by employees in a warehouse, queue counting and management in a stadium, license plate recognition for contactless parking or weapon detection for a campus. In total, more than 50 use cases are currently covered that meet the needs of at least 20 industry verticals.
