Over the years, organizations have made significant investments in a range of systems designed to enhance the security of their offices and production facilities - such as access control, intrusion alarm, fire alarm, video management, and smart locking systems. But how effectively is the data generated by these various systems being utilized in a comprehensive and real-time manner in daily operations and again in operational development and evaluating the impact of development measures?
There is often little clarity about the volume of usable data generated by various security and safety systems. In our experience, many professionals are genuinely surprised by the sheer amount of data produced on a daily basis.
A typical medium-sized site - with 150 to 200 monitored doors, a similar number of cameras, around 300 to 400 fire detectors, and an intrusion alarm system - can generate approximately 50,000 events per day, which means approximately over 1,000,000 events per month.
The relevance of the different events can vary depending on the organization, the site, the day of the week, and the time of day. The key challenge is ensuring that the relevant information is available at the right time to the people who need it in their job. Given the sheer volume and associated costs, manually processing the data is impractical - making automation and digitalization the only viable solution.
Siloed information for use in daily operations
Each individual system generates valuable data, and manually combining this data into an efficiently usable format requires deep expertise across multiple systems. This process is not only time-consuming but also means the results are always history. Due to cost and time constraints, this process is not feasible very often.
In contrast, the WYS Platform diversely and automatically combines the data generated by the systems connected to it. Due to the Platform’s automation, statistical data and real-time information generated by the different systems are continuously enriched and available for various uses, and accessible anytime and anywhere.
As a result, tens of millions of events in different silos become readily available for daily use – to streamline and develop operations - tailored to the specific needs of each organisation, site, function, and individual.
Complete control – alarms, events, systems and devices
The security and safety solution package can be divided into two parts: the systems and devices along with their technical functionalities, the other half is operational activities, which are driven by the daily use of various systems and devices and the data they generate.
The Platform automatically generates a comprehensive system and device register, containing detailed technical information about all connected systems and devices. This includes software and firmware versions, models, deployment details, locations, actions taken, utilization rates, and fault events. As a result, the organization gains continuously updated and complete visibility into its system and device inventory. This enables, among other things, proactive planning for maintenance, upgrades, and future investments.
The system and equipment fleet is monitored in real time, allowing technical anomalies and fault events to be automatically and promptly reported to relevant stakeholders. This significantly improves response times and enhances overall system utilization.
Operational events and their combinations, generated by various systems, are monitored automatically and in real time. This provides a continuous, structured view of the alarms, events, and related actions.
Event and alarm management and processing become transparent, efficient, and consistent when up-to-date information - including standard operating procedures - is automatically available in real time to the appropriate personnel.
The interactive user interface streamlines the investigation of various anomalies by presenting all events related to the anomaly in a single, clear view - making the investigation fast and easy to follow.
Effortless Access to Critical Situational Awareness
The importance of automated situational awareness has grown significantly in recent times in the operational environments of various organizations. Creating situational awareness is often a slow and challenging process. Generating automatic situational awareness facilitates but also dramatically accelerates operational actions and situation management.
The WYS Platform automatically and in real time generates situational awareness tailored to different needs, enabling each individual and function to instantly grasp the current situation.
There are often cases where it's necessary to revisit past events for various reasons. In such cases, the WYS Platform can generate situational awareness at a specific point in time, which significantly speeds up the resolution of the issue at hand.
Comprehensiveness is essential when building situational awareness.
Making data analysis easy and part of everyday work
Utilizing large volumes of data must be easy, flexible, and - above all - real-time. When dealing with large volumes of data, even tens of millions, the importance of tools increases significantly, along with their ease of use and operational efficiency.
The Platform’s built-in, AI-assisted BI reporting unlocks powerful opportunities to diversely utilize data generated by the different systems and their combinations - whether in real time, historically, or for predicting the future. With the support of artificial intelligence, users can create customized BI reports, after which they will be automatically and in real-time available also in the future.
One user interface – real-time control across all sites and systems
From a single interactive user interface and according to their user rights, users can access the services provided by the systems connected to the Platform. This centralized access significantly enhances and diversifies daily operations.
The interactive Dashboard interfaces are customized to the organization and users, and can be tailored for a specific task. The Dashboard interfaces consist of interactive components, such as maps, floor plans, situational awareness, video feeds, alarms, events, BI reports, etc.
Unlock the full potential of your security and safety data with the Platform
The data generated by various security and safety systems holds significant value - but its value to the organization increases exponentially if it is utilized comprehensively in daily operations, operational development, and performance measurement. The Platform empowers the organizations to shift from reactive operations towards proactive, data-driven, comprehensive security and safety development and management.
