Radar technology company 819 NavTech Radar has won the Highly Commended award in the Alarm and Detection category of the Detektor International Awards 2013 with their new AdvanceGuard AGS1600 Extreme radar surveillance solution.

Launched in January 2013, the AGS1600 Extreme is specifically developed to cope with the environmental and climatic conditions found in oil and gas exploration. The system is completely integrated with the Navtech’s sophisticated intuitive control software suite, Witness. The solution works within an ambient temperature range of -40 degrees centigrade to +65 degrees centigrade and explosion proof options are available as well as solutions entirely powered by solar panels.

Commenting on winning the award, Keith Chapman, Head of Global Sales, Security of NavTech Radar said, “It is a true honour to win a Detektor International Award. To many people the use of radar solutions for wide area surveillance purposes is still considered to be an ‘emerging technology’.  This is rapidly changing with the increased focus on early warning and prevention.  Particularly when it comes to perimeter security for critical infrastructure such as airports, power stations, border protection and data centres, to name but a few.”

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a

    Sick’s new hot spot detector system proved its worth only one week after being installed by preventing a fire in the Karawanks Tunnel, Austria. A semi-trailer truck with a wheel temperature exceeding 200 degrees centigrade triggered the alarm as it passed the hot spot detector. Closer inspection indicated that in addition to the overheated brake, the vehicle was also travelling with two cracked brake discs. Developed by Sick’s Swiss subsidiary ECTN and based on the Sick LMS511 laser sensor with the T
