The owners of the annual show IFSEC International announce a new Smart Zone exhibition and feature area for the event at London’s ExCeL from June 21 to 23, 2016.
The Zone will concentrate on two areas. #ifsecsmarthome will focus on the home automation sector which will let installers, house builders, architects and others see and experience home automation technologies from suppliers such as Texecom, Y3K, Paxton Access, Yale and LILIN. #ifsecsmarthome will come to life as an actual house, at the centre of the exhibition area where visitors can meet and discuss the systems with suppliers and trial the products on offer. Exhibitors will be able to showcase their products and solutions for all visiting IFSEC professionals with an interest in the home automation sector.
Jason Hill, Group Vice President LILIN says: “IFSEC is embarking on an exciting new path with the introduction of #ifsecsmarthome as it’s an area of significant growth globally. The integrated home is very much a reality today and represents a tremendous opportunity for progressive installers and integrators. With security consistently reported as the key driver for home automation we feel this is the logical direction for IFSEC to move in, LILIN is a leading developer of IP Video solutions for the home automation and custom integration markets and we feel well placed to centrally support IFSEC with this new feature.”
On the commercial, public and residential sides, #ifsecsmartbuildings will look at how a fully connected building provides cost and efficiency benefits to building managers. #ifsecsmartbuildings will take the form of an interactive display showcasing integrated building management products. The feature will cover property management, retail, transport, utilities and energy providing a view of how real time networked smart solutions interact and deliver tangible business information.
A Smart Zone Theatre will provide free learning and development seminars on home automation and smart buildings; the Internet Of Things, systems integration, business intelligence, building information management, cyber security and case studies.
Gerry Dunphy, Event Director of IFSEC International says: ‘’The IFSEC Smart Zone is an important part of the show’s continuing evolution as we look to present new and diverse applications of security products and services as vital aspects of building management systems. #ifsecsmarthome will promote exciting developments in home automation that will be of direct interest to installers looking to supplement their range of services. #ifsecsmartbuildings will present integrators, consultants, architects, facilities directors, civic authorities and building owners with key solutions to make their assets more sustainable, productive and cost effective.’’
