Robotic Security: Insights and Practical Advice on Implementing Security Robots for the Energy Industry
- MAY 18, 2023
- 10:00 to 10:40 AM CENTRAL TIME
About
Nearly 1,700 physical security incidents were reported to the Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center in 2022, up 10.5% from 2021. The majority of reported incidents were categorized as gunfire, ballistic damage, intrusion or tampering and vandalism. Cameras can’t see everything and having a physical presence 24/7/365 at facilities such as substations, supply yards, peaker plants, battery storage facilities and remote hydro sites just to name a few may not be possible or economical. Other solutions such as cameras and IR detectors may be cost-prohibitive and don’t always cover all the desired areas of interest.
Asylon Robotics Vice President of Sales, Michael Lichko, will present and demonstrate their ground and air robotics perimeter security service as a cost-effective approach for organizations looking to improve perimeter security. Asylon’s DroneCore platform is built to power your security operations and manage advanced sensors, robotics, data, and mission sets. Combining aerial drones and ground security robot dogs enables both short and long-term operational success.
Certrec’s Andrew Askinas will host the call and discuss Certrec’s role in enabling regulatory compliance and security through 35 years of company experience, deep subject matter expertise, and relevant technology.
This webinar will absolutely be informative and thought-provoking, hopefully making you look at your security options in a whole new light.
