For the first time at Intersec in Dubai the response software product firm CriticalArc is exhibiting; the Australian firm will demonstrate its SafeZone product.
SafeZone is described as a cloud-based emergency response solution and free smartphone app, for 24/7 safety for individuals to whom employers have a duty of care including lone workers and global travellers.
CriticalArc will be exhibiting on Stand S1-F45 with Building Defence Systems, its Middle East partner. Since establishing its presence in the region in 2014, CriticalArc reports interest in SafeZone from sectors including government, education, industry infrastructure, defence and ex-patriot residential communities.
The first deployment of SafeZone in the region was at Al-Bustan Village in Riyadh, a Saudi Arabian residential compound. Other deployments include a global aerospace and defence company operating in the region.
The developers say that SafeZone equips security teams to manage safety across a wide range of domains; optimise resource management; improve collaboration and coordination during major incidents; and run everyday security operations.
For end users, the free SafeZone app provides a help point in their pocket to summon emergency support, first aid and general assistance via a single tap on their smartphone. This raises an alert that transmits their location, identity and any special requirements to the security team or local emergency services, while eliminating language barriers.
Darren Chalmers-Stevens, pictured, CriticalArc Director for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), said, “We are seeing unprecedented demand for the benefits that SafeZone can deliver across the Middle East. Driving significant efficiencies and cost savings, it extends existing security infrastructures by safeguarding personnel beyond physical perimeters while optimising the performance of manned services teams. SafeZone also safeguards corporate reputations, enables preparedness against environmental and physical threats and minimises disruption to routine business activity in the event of an incident. We look forward to welcoming anyone with an interest in improving safety across their organisation to come and meet the team at our first Intersec show.”
Intersec 2016 runs from 17-19 January and will feature four major security and safety conferences with 27,000 visitors from more than 100 countries. The exhibition will open from 10am to 6pm daily, in Halls 1 – 7, Trade Centre Arena and Sheikh Saeed Halls 1 – 3 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
