FutureSentry opened a new facility that will manufacture and assemble its flagship solution |
FutureSentry, a developer of an automated detection solution designed to enhance perimeter security, has opened a new manufacturing facility in Elkton, Va., that will manufacture and assemble the company's flagship solution, the FutureSentry FirstResponder. FutureSentry currently occupies a total of 6,050 square feet of the state-of-the-art facility but has plans to expand its manufacturing to encompass more than 17,500 square feet with additional space allocated to administrative functions.
The new building enables FutureSentry to enhance production of the FutureSentry FirstResponder. By leveraging advanced algorithms, the FutureSentry FirstResponder automatically identifies potentially dangerous targets within 700 feet, and tracks objects to deter criminal behaviour. Once it detects motion in a user-defined area, the system illuminates activity with a high-intensity LED light. Therefore, the system mimics the actions of a security guard to deter criminal behaviour before loss or damage occurs. When integrated with IP or analogue surveillance cameras, the solution captures valuable video evidence for forensic analysis. It can also be combined with a variety of security edge devices.
"Our new manufacturing facility allows us to embrace advanced equipment and manufacturing processes to enhance the FutureSentry perimeter detection solution," said Jaak Rannik, CEO, FutureSentry. "Furthermore, the new location enables us to streamline research and development, and provide world-class support to our growing network of security integration partners."
