Dahua launches dual-biometric identification time attendance terminals Dahua Technology Co. Ltd, a leading solution provider in the global video surveillance industry, announced that it has launched its new time attendance terminals: the DHI-ASA4214F and DHI-ASA6214F. These highly intelligent devices will support both face and fingerprint identification for access control and time attendance in office scenarios, enabling easy staff management and security control. Fingerprint or face identification devices are commonly seen in today’s workplace, but Dahua’s attendance terminals offer dual-biometric identification integrated into a single device. Embedded with advanced infrared face recognition algorithms, these new time attendance terminals further improve on poor lighting environment performance, making it smart enough to identify a designated face in a very short time. Access to live face detection significantly improves safety, preventing the use of ‘picture camouflage’ to deceive the system. If needed, you can add a card or password to the combination to make the

whole system even safer. Despite having multiple advanced technologies, the new Dahua attendance terminals are easy to install. As the device supports both TCP/ IP and Wi-Fi connection, users can choose wire or wireless connection according to their requirement. It also supports P2P added devices and third-party controller connection via Wiegand, allowing the property owner to build comprehensive security systems quickly and costeffectively. Moreover, the DHI-ASA4214F and DHI-ASA6214F can store up to 1,000 faces

and 3,000 faces respectively, and both are able to hold 30,000 different card holders, 3,000 fingerprint templates, and 1,50,000 transaction logs. The new Dahua attendance terminals can be highly personalised with intelligent features, whether the user is from government agencies, business corporations, schools, plants, small retail stores, or restaurants. Powered by Dahua’s unique Smart PSS system, the new Dahua attendance terminals support lock control, anti-pass back, interlock, first card, and six kinds of customizable attendance events, making it easy for users to personalise their security protocols under different circumstances. The devices also feature daylight saving time and NTP, which will be a great relief for companies owning facilities in different time zones. In general, the DHIASA4214F and DHI-6214F time attendance terminals, which will be on display at the IFSEC International 2018 during June 19-21, are the reliable, intelligent, and cost-efficient choice for users from all walks of life.

Ador helps contain air pollution in cement plants Ambuja Cements Ltd., a part of the global conglomerate Lafarge Holcim, is one of the leading cement companies in India while being the largest cement plant chain in the world. The company strongly believes in environmental sustainability which is one of its core values. Recently, the Clean Air team of Ador Powertron showcased the simple innovation and high performance of the Ador+Redkoh Vedika technology in five different plants including clinker cooler ESPs and CPP ESPs. These are some of the most important plants in India viz. Ambuja Cement Rabariyawas Unit, Maratha Unit, Dariaghat Unit, and Bhatapara Unit (Cooler ESP Line 1 & 2). Ador reduced their existing emission levels from the

plants’ earlier values to the committed (and aspired) values of minimum 25% emission reduction and at the some sits achieved a maximum of 75% emission reduction. This incredible environmental protection victory shows that the performance of the Ador High Frequency Power Supply (HFPS) not only enhances the efficiency of Electro-Static Precipitators in the cement industry but also in the power generation field. Ador was able to prove that the Vedika Solution for high Standard Particulate Matter (SPM) can provide better opacity at lesser investment cost and even far lesser effort than adding extra ESP fields or other electrical / mechanical solutions. More importantly, all of this can be achieved without even asking

for a process shutdown.

Vedika gives the end user a pristine air quality experience due to the edge it has, catalyzed by the following ways: • A suitable waveform to the TR set in order to minimize the ESP Ripple • Increased average voltage to the ESP • Increased current flow to the ESP • Fast Response Time to events occurring in both the ESP and the Power system • Possesses all the benefits of the tried and trusted Transformer Rectifier Design • Significantly high-power capacities • Improvement in the power factor • Reuse of the existing

cabling, control rooms and Mechanical TR footprints • No duct work modifications • Provides a solution rather than a one-fits-all product • The electrical energization with High Frequency Power Sources and the same boiler conditions may lead to emission reduction to the tune of 30-50% without any ESP renovation for addition of fields or increase in the height in all of the coal fired power stations in India by utilizing high resistivity and high ash content coal from the Indian mines Industrial enterprises are today under constant pressure to reduce gaseous and particulate emissions from their processes. The Ador Clean Air team has produced and supplied the largest number of TransformerRectifier sets and controls worldwide. Over 20,000 Ador High Voltage Transformer Rectifiers have been installed with the power, cement, steel and paper industries across 74 countries over the last 35 years. Ador Transformers use software designed by Ador and also are able to incorporate OEM management and control software.

The Deesa City surveillance project turned out to be a landmark achievement for the Deesa Nagar Palika and its citizens. Deesa is located in the heart of the Banaskantha district of Gujarat. The city is situated on the banks of river Banas and was earlier recognised by the name of Camp Deesa, when it was under the rule of Deewan Saheb. In today’s time, these localities are recognised by the name of New Deesa. It is popular for potato plantation and is also a major business city of North Gujarat. Today’s cities face a wide spectrum of threats ranging from terrorism to rising crime rate, civil unrest, shootings, natural disasters and other emergencies. To mitigate the impact of these situations, city authorities require real-time information and insights into what is happening in and around their districts. There is a growing case for utilizing new and emerging technologies in the drive for safer and efficient cities. In this context, Hikvision integrated public infrastructure security solutions to provide a comprehensive framework for a single, holistic operational view and access to

real-time visual, audio and location-based information. These solutions help make cities safer and more secure by empowering authorities to prevent, manage and respond to potential risk scenarios effectively. There are several challenges that local and state authorities face in ensuring high levels of physical security. These include significant manpower and associated costs, limited budgets, multiple and often legacy systems, and most daunting, the lack of interoperability between these systems. With real-time visibility and quick responses an absolute imperative in today’s fastevolving cities, there is a strong need to move towards integrated security systems and centralised information. An integrated public security system should ideally encompass three main

elements – monitoring, communication and mobility solutions. These aspects are linked together with the fourth element, a command and control centre solution (CCCS) to mitigate risk across the city environment by providing actionable intelligence and enabling speedy security incident resolution. The key features of Hikvision’s proposed camera and backend design included video surveillance/CCTV cameras, video analytics (intrusion detection system, left or abandoned baggage), ANPR (automatic number plate recognition), facial recognition system, smart vehicle tracking system, control command solution, vehiclemounted camera for on-road surveillance and vehicle tracking system on GIS for public transportation system and waste management systems.

Safety in Welding By S.K. Palit, Head-CCC & Strategic Support - Equipment, SGP & WAPS, Ador Welding Ltd.

afety is a critical consideration for any welding project. Arc welding is a safe occupation when proper precautions are taken. But, if safety measures are ignored, welders face an array of hazards which can be potentially dangerous, including electric shock, fumes and gases, fire and explosions and more. Welders are members of an occupational group which is exposed to a number of different environmental problems: • Electricity • Electromagnetic fields • UV, IR and visible light radiation • Air pollution • Fire and Spatter • Noise • Ergonomics To help keep welders safe, organizations such as the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) offer safety guidelines to help control, minimize or to help employers and workers avoid welding hazards. Employers should ensure all workers have an opportunity to comply with the following important guidelines in the workplace: • Read and understand manufacturer instructions for equipment • Carefully review material safety data sheets

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MAY 2018

It’s important to remember to never touch the electrode or metal parts of the electrode holder with skin or welding clothing and insulate yourself from the work and ground.

• Follow the company’s internal safety practices • Awareness of the most common welding hazards and knowing how to avoid them ensures a safe, productive work environment for all.

Electric shock Electric shock is one of the most serious and immediate risks facing a welder. Electric shock can lead to severe injury or death, either from the shock itself or from a fall caused by the reaction to a shock. Electric shock occurs when welders touch two metal objects that have a voltage between them, thereby inserting themselves into the electrical circuit. For instance, if a worker holds a bare wire in one hand and a second bare wire with another, electric current will pass through that wire and through the welding operator, causing an electric shock. The higher the voltage, the higher the current and, thus the higher the risk for the electric shock to result in injury or death. The most common type of electric shock is secondary voltage shock from an arc welding circuit, which ranges from 20 to 100 volts. Bear in mind that even a shock of 50 volts or less can be enough to injure or kill an operator, depending on the conditions. Due to its constant change in

polarity, alternating current (AC) voltage is more likely to stop the heart than direct current (DC) welders. It is also more likely to make the person holding the wire unable to let go. To avoid secondary voltage shock, welding operators should wear dry gloves in good condition, never touch the electrode or metal parts of the electrode holder with skin or wet clothing and be sure to insulate themselves from the work and ground, keeping dry insulation between their body and the metal being welded or ground (such as a metal floor or wet surface). ADOR Welding Limited (AWL) offers a wide range of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), like Welding Gloves, Safety Shoes and other safety products to ensure the welders’ safety. In addition, AWL offers VRD (Voltage Reducing Device) as a built-in feature as an option, and also VRD Units which can be fitted externally to any AC or DC SMAW Welding machine, which keeps the secondary voltage down to a safe level of 18-20 V when no welding is being done (machine switched on, but in idle condition). Full welding power is automatically enabled whenever the welder strikes the welding arc. An even more serious shock, primary voltage shock, may occur when a welder touches electrically “hot” or “live” parts inside the welder case or the electric distribution system to which the welder is connected. This action can lead to a shock of 230 or 415 volts. AWL offers ELCB as an option in their welding machines to completely eliminate this hazard.

Fumes and gases Overexposure to welding fumes and gases can be hazardous to the health of the welder as well as any other person who is working in the vicinity of the welding area. Welding fume contains potentially harmful

Welding areas require adequate ventilation and local exhaust to keep fumes and gases from the breathing zone and the general area.

complex metal oxide compounds from consumables, base metal and the basemetal coatings, so it is important to keep the head out of the fumes and use enough ventilation and/or exhaust to control the exposure to substances in the fume, depending on the type of rod and base metal being used. The specific potential health effects which relate to the welding consumable product being used can be found in the Health Hazard Data section of the Safety Data Sheet available from the consumable manufacturer. Welding areas require adequate ventilation and local exhaust to keep fumes and gases from the breathing zone and the general area. In most situations, a ventilation system- such as a fan, and an exhaust system or fixed or removable exhaust hoods- to remove fumes and gases from the work area are provided. AWL has introduced in their range different models of Welding Fume extraction systems, both stand-alone as well as centralized systems (KING EXTRACTORS), with advanced technology, special filters and with or without built-in compressors

Fire and explosions Welding arc creates extreme temperatures, and may pose a significant fire and

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MAY 2018

explosions hazard if safe practices are not followed. While the welding arc may reach temperatures of 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the real danger is not from the arc itself, but rather the intense near the arc and the heat, sparks and spatter created by the arc. This spatter can reach up to 35 feet away from the welding space. To prevent fires, before beginning to weld, inspect the work area for any flammable materials and remove them from the area. Flammable materials are comprised of three categories: liquid, such as gasoline, oil and paint; solid, such as wood, cardboard and paper; gas, including acetylene, propane and hydrogen.

Ergonomics When welding heavy material manually

Special attachments and extensions to interconnection cables reduce welder fatigue for welding at long distances from the Power Source

Rotators are used to rotate a job with circular or cylindrical profile to help the welder consistently without changing his position and welding torch angle continuously

and during assembly welding the loads are very static. Positioning welding also gives high loads. Ergonomic control of Welderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position, arrangement of rotating tables (rotators and turn tables) is important to reduce welder fatigue and chances of poor weld quality.

Other safety considerations Welders should also be aware of other safety considerations within the work environment. For example, those working in a confined space or in an elevated area make need to take extra precautions. In any welding situation, welding operators should pay close attention safety information on the products being used and the material safety data sheets provided by the manufacturer and work with their employer and co-workers to follow appropriate safe practices for their workplace. Good common sense is also key. If opening cans of electrode, keep hands away from sharp edges. Remove clutter and debris from the welding area to prevent tripping or falling. And never use broken or damaged equipment or PPE. To keep up with the most recent safety practices, welding operators should utilize resources from the American Welding Society (AWS), OSHA and welding manufacturers. By following these safe practices and using common sense, operators can stay safe and keep production moving with no lost-time accidents. Safety & Health Fact Sheets are provided in the ANSI Z49.1 Standards.

Fire Safety Regulations In India â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fire Safety Audit and Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA) identify potential hazards and act as effective tools for assessing fire safety standards of an occupancy.â&#x20AC;? - R. R. Nair 1.0 INTRODUCTION: Fire pose a major threat to various occupancies in India. Almost every day some fires are reported by media across the country. These fires not only resulted in the loss of many precious life and injuries to many but also inflicted heavy property loss. During the last two decades there was a vibrant growth in the construction activities in India, especially in high rise buildings. Because of its peculiar nature, fire in residential buildings, in particular, high rise buildings, become more complex and the salvaging operations become more difficult and sometimes even resulting in many deaths and huge property losses. The rapid modernisation of Indian Industry have made the scenario more complex. Awareness towards fire safety had not been quite forthcoming. This article will focus on the overall scenario on the existing fire safety regulations in India and the effectiveness of these regulations for combating the potential fire hazards.

2.0 MAIN REGULATIONS: Fire services in India came under the Twelfth Schedule of the Constitution of India, under the provisions of Article 243W of the Constitution. The performance of the functions listed in the Twelfth Schedule comes under the domain of Municipalities. Regular fire services in India was established about 215 years back. The service was first established in Bombay in 1803, followed by Calcutta in 1822, Delhi in 1867 and Madras in 1908. As per the report released by the Ministry of Home Affairs in 1997, there were 1754 fire stations with 5149 fire appliances/vehicles and 50,730 fire professionals are functioning PAN India. In addition to above, there were 278 trailer-

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MAY 2018

made fire stations operating exclusively in industrial sectors. According to the Annual Report 2009-10 of Ministry of Home Affairs, in 2009, Centrally Sponsored Scheme on Strengthening of Fire and Emergency Services in the Country has been approved by the Government at an estimated cost of Rs.200 crore during the Eleventh Plan Period. The State Governments will also contribute Rs.40.23 crore as their share. The overall objective of the Scheme is to strengthen fire and emergency service in the country and progressively transform it into Multi-Hazard Response Force capable of acting as first responder in all types of emergency situations. Under the Scheme, additional 277 Advanced Fire Tenders, 1,146 High Pressure Pumps with Water Mist Technology, 573 Quick Response Team Vehicles, and 1,146 Combi Tools for Rescue will be provided at District Headquarter Fire Brigades in the country. To find the actual requirement of firefighting and rescue equipment, the Ministry of Home Affairs, has decided to carry out Fire Risk and Hazard Analysis in the country. Presently fire prevention and firefighting services are organised by the concerned States and Union Territories. It may be added here that the fire brigades in India remain heterogeneous in character and majority of them continue to remain illequipped and differently organised. The National Building Code (NBC), which is the basic model code in India on matters relating to building construction and fire safety. Fire prevention and fire protection is a state subject. The primary responsibility for fire prevention and fire protection lies primarily with State Governments. The rules for fire prevention and fire protection are laid in the form of State Regulations or Municipal By-Laws.

2.1 National Building Code: The National Building Code is published by Bureau of Indian Standards. The first edition of the NBC was published in 1970. This edition was revised in 1983, 1987 and 1997. The second edition of the NBC was published in 2005. The third edition of the NBC was published in 2016, incorporating the latest developments in the construction activities in the country. The main objective of NBC is to specify measures that will provide that degree of safety from fire, which is practical and can be reasonably achieved. The Code insists upon compliance with minimum standards of fire safety necessary for building occupants and users. For ensuring compliance of fire protection equipment/ installations to the laid down quality requirements, it is desirable to use such equipment/installation duly certified under the BIS Certification Marks Scheme. The NBC classify the buildings into the following 9 groups: Group A

Residential

Group B

Educational

Group C

Institutional

Group D

Assembly

Group E

Business

Group F

Mercantile

Group G

Industrial

Group H

Storage

Group J

Hazardous

These groups have been subdivided into various categories. The NBC also deals with three types of fire zones and four types of constructions. The Part 4 (Fire and Life Safety) of NBC, which contain the fire safety norms through

TECH UPDATE

detailed provisions on fire prevention, life safety and fire protection. The fire protection, which not only deals with fire prevention and fire protection but also gives guidance by specifying the standards for construction, plumbing, electrical installations including wiring, lighting, ventilation, heating and air conditioning, safety sanitation, active and passive fire protection systems, etc. It mentions the restrictions of buildings in each fire zone, classification of buildings based on occupancy, the demarcation of fire zones, limitations of height, types of building construction according to fire resistance of the structural and non-structural components and other restrictions and requirements necessary to minimise danger to life from fire, smoke, fumes or panic before the building can be evacuated. The Code recognizes that safety of life is more than a matter of means of egress and accordingly deals with various matters which are considered essential to the safety of life. The Code therefore covers provisions relating to means of egress covering various components thereof namely exit access, exit and exit discharge. It also covers provisions relating to fire protection of various occupancies through portable and fixed firefighting installations (Refer Table 7 of NBC 2016). The Part â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 4 of NBC 2016 has 11 Annexures, which are listed in Table 01.

2.2 State Regulations: By and large, the State fire prevention and fire safety act & rules complement the National Building Code. Many of the NBC Code provisions have been incorporated by various State Governments and Local

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MAY 2018

Bodies in their own building regulations. For example, the acts & rules enacted by states like Maharashtra and Gujarat are aimed to improve overall status of fire safety measures in their respective states. Some of the Acts/Rules regarding fire prevention and fire protection enacted by various State Governments are listed in Table 02. It may be seen from Table 02, that some of the State Governments are yet to update their Act and Rules. Often a question has been raised by many that who will be responsible for providing the required fire protection and prevention system in a building or in an occupancy. The acts and rules enacted by the State of Maharashtra has well defined on these points. According to Section 3 of the Maharashtra Fire Prevention

and Life Safety Measures Act, 2006, the developer, owner, occupier or whatever name called shall comply with all the fire and safety measures adhering to the National Building Code of India, and as amended from time to time, failing which it shall be treated as a violation of the Act. It means that the onus of maintaining the fire safety installations in a building or in an occupancy is the responsibility of the owner or occupier.

2.3 Related Regulations: Apart from the specific State Acts and Rules stated above, a number of legislations are available on matters relating to fire prevention, fire protection and some of them are listed in Table 03. Amongst these, the Factories Act and State Factories Rules are important ones. The Section 38 of the Factories Act, 1948, emphasises, the obligations of the occupier, which include (i) to adopt all practicable measures to prevent the outbreak and spread of fire, (ii) to provide safe means of escape, (iii) to maintain the firefighting equipment properly and (iv) to familiarise all the workers with the means of escape during fire and train them in steps to be taken in a fire accident. The Section 37 of the

TECH UPDATE

Factories Act, 1948, also prescribes detailed measures to prevent explosions hazards. The State Factories Rules, framed under the Factories Act, have prescribed in detail, all the steps to be taken to prevent fire hazard.

3.0 Codes and Standards: 3.1 IS Codes BIS has formulated more than 150 standards on fire safety in buildings and firefighting equipment & systems and important ones are: Code of practice for fire safety of building (IS 1641 to IS 1646), electrical generating and distributing stations (IS 3034), cotton textile mills (IS 3079), rubber and plastic (IS 11457 Part 1), libraries and archives (IS 11460), iron and steel industries (IS 13694), hotels (IS 13716), educational institutions (IS 14435); fire detection and alarm systems (IS 2189); first aid fire extinguishers (IS 2190); internal hydrants and hose reels (IS 3844); temporary structures and pandals (IS 8758); fire protection-safety signs (IS 12349); external hydrant systems (IS 13039 ); fixed automatic sprinkler fire extinguishing systems (IS 15105); gaseous fire extinguishing systems (IS 15493); HFC 227ea (IS 15517); water mist system (IS 15519); portable fire extinguishers (IS 15683); long range foam monitors (IS 15811); fire detection and alarm system (IS 15908), etc. 3.2 OISD Standards Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) is a technical directorate under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas of Government of India, who formulates and coordinates the implementation of a

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MAY 2018

series of self-regulatory measures aimed at enhancing the safety in the oil & gas industry in India. OISD had issued a number of standards and the important ones are: OISD STD 114 (Safe handling of hazardous chemicals); OISD STD 116 (Fire Protection Facilities for Petroleum Refineries and Oil/Gas Processing Plants); OISD STD 117 (Fire Protection Facilities for Petroleum Depots, Terminals, Pipeline installations & Lube oil installations).

4.0 COMPLIANCE: Many commercial and residential buildings in particular high-rise buildings, have been found flouting fire safety norms. Many occupiers or societies do not bother to conduct regular maintenance of the fire prevention systems installed in their buildings. Though Fire Safety Audit is found to be an effective tool for assessing fire safety standards of an organization or an occupancy, there is no clear cut provisions in any of the fire safety legislations in India, regarding the scope, objectives, methodology and periodicity of a fire safety audit. However, the NBC 2016, recommends for periodical fire safety inspection by the key personnel of the occupants of the building to ensure fire safety standards. As far as industrial buildings, are concerned, the statutory authorities like State Factory Inspectorate, insist for fire safety audit by external agencies, depending on the type of activity and the nature of the materials handled in the building. Readers would like to know the provisions provided in the Maharashtra

Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Rules, 2009, framed under the Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act, 2006. These rules made it mandatory for building owners and residents to conduct half-yearly fire safety audits and submit the report to the fire department. No doubt, it is a good measure and other states too, can follow this. However, entrusting the responsibility of conducting the fire safety audit to the ‘Licensed Agencies’, has created some confusions, because the same agency has also been entrusted with the work of (i) installations of firefighting systems in an occupancy with a certification under Form ‘A’ and (ii) carry out the maintenance of firefighting systems and issue half-yearly certificate under Form ‘B’ in every January & July. In practice, Form ‘B’ certification is regarded as Safety Audit, which is not at all a right thinking. Perhaps, this arrangement has resulted in diluting the scope and methodology of the audit itself. Moreover, entrusting the audit work to the same ‘Licensed Agencies’, who had either installed or carried out the maintenance work of firefighting systems in an occupancy, is not at all justified. It is also doubtful whether the so called ‘Licensed Agencies’ have the required calibre / expertise in conducting an effective fire safety audit. So in effect, it seems that the fire safety audit has become a mere ritual.

5.0 CONCLUSION: Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA) can be focused to identify potential hazards. A comprehensive fire safety audit can address the inherent fire hazards associated with the day to day activities in an occupancy and recommend measures to reduce the potential fire hazards. In India, although there are many rules and regulations, codes and standards related to fire safety, these are seldom followed. Laxity in following fire safety measures caused many major fires in various occupancies and some of them even resulted in catastrophes. It was observed that most skyscrapers in Mumbai

TECH UPDATE

continue to overlook the fire safety norms compliance certificate. Several prominent high rises in New Delhi are at a high risk of turning into fire traps. Most high rises in and around Connaught Place don’t have fire safety certificates. About 90% buildings in Chennai are fire traps. If you want to reduce the fire incidents in the country, Fire Safety Audit should be made mandatory for all over India and the audit work should be entrusted to Third Party Agencies, who have expertise in it. It is reasonable to have a fire safety audit in every year in every occupancy. Above all, the success of fire prevention and fire protection mainly depend upon the active co-operation from all personnel in an occupancy. Remember, prevention is better than cure.

Can our Smart Cities be Made Safe? The article highlights how surveillance works to optimize urban infrastructure and makes it ‘smart’

Abhishek Kumar, Oncam

iant skyscrapers, ultramodern designs, futuristic technologies, drones, droids, automated cars, and a smart home that speaks as well – the horses simply start running free as soon as the idea of a ‘smart city’ even remotely enters our mind. This is, perhaps, how our hi-tech bases are going to look in the future, but as we witness the first domino tumbling to turn this broader vision into a tangible reality, how safe are these cities going to be is what must be our prime concern.

Making our Smart Cities Invincible One thing that goes without saying is that crime is a major challenge experienced by our country. The broader situation only aggravates when metropolitan cities are brought into perspective. Metropolitan cities, due to their generally inward-bound population, often become the epicenter of criminal activities. For instance, Delhi had 54,287 registered criminal cases under IPC in 2012, a figure that grew to 1,55,654 cases within a span of two years, and to 2,09,519 of the same by 2016. These burgeoning cases are despite the fact that Delhi is a national capital. Then, how can one expect to have a crime-free landscape in the upcoming smart cities, especially as these

tech hubs come with a promise to have minimal human interference for across-theboard processes? This is an area where technology, surveillance technology to be specific, can bring a considerable difference. Surveillance systems can be deployed throughout the vast expanse of the city, specially targeting high-footfall regions and public places. These areas can be monitored for criminal activities as well as other critical incidences that affect public security and these operations can be driven through centralised video walls in the local surveillance centre. This approach can result in a proactive security mechanism and help in minimising the crime rate for the city. But is it possible to monitor everything from streets, highways, and lanes down to residential areas, tourist attractions, and high-footfall regions, that too round-theclock without missing incidences? Well, to err is human.

Minimising Errors and Omissions in Surveillance Human errors have been a crucial element of productivity and risk management reports prepared by global organisations. But to what extent can these errors be allowed, particularly when talking with regard to public safety and security? The human dependency, at least complete dependency on humans, is being gradually inverted for across-the-board processes. Thankfully, this also includes surveillance. Today, state-of-the-art surveillance systems cannot only recognise and capture incidences such as aggressive behaviour, vandalism, and theft, but can also detect fire hazards and other public security use cases. They can then transmit the video feed directly to the concerned department in the local surveillance centres, thereby completely eliminating the scope of errors and omissions. These video analytics-driven systems

can, moreover, be programmed for typically challenging scenarios, such as managing road traffic, cleanliness of a given region, and crowd control. Such systems can also be integrated with the Aadhaar database to facially recognise the offender(s), if any, and bring them to book instantly for any criminal offence. But a fact that most people are not acquainted with is that incidentcapturing and facial recognition are not possible simultaneously. If a surveillance camera is positioned to focus on facial recognition, it is not possible to capture incidences and vice versa.

The Breakthrough Lately, 360-degree surveillance systems have emerged as a ray of hope for everyone as such systems address multiple pain points at once, which include the overall device requirement, associated deployment costs, subsequent bandwidth and storage requirement. They also provide a singular high-definition video stream that can be converted into multiple virtual cameras with the ability to tilt, pan, and zoom on even a recorded video feed. Above everything else, these video feeds can be used to identify incidences and execute facial recognition at the same time. They can also be used to recognise habitual criminal offenders and can non-intrusively keep them under the scanner to minimise the threat that they can cause to other city dwellers. Absconding criminals, on the other hand, can instantly be put behind the bars–making our upcoming smart cities a lot safer than other cities at present. However, an essential ingredient in bringing about this novel concept into a perceptible reality is that such systems need to be deployed now, when the Scan to view online foundation of our smart cities are being laid, rather than later, when doing so will be a task neigh impossible.

Now, Clear Camera Vision in the Dark Too! iBall Guard launches night vision colour CCTV cameras and smart cloud DVRs

he demand for CCTV solutions is increasing with increased crime rates and need for protection against such crimes. Most crimes happen during night. Unfortunately, CCTV solutions available presently do not provide good clarity in dark conditions and at night. iBall, a brand known for its innovative and latest technology products, realises the need for better clarity during night when maximum crimes take place. iBall Guard, the growing brand in security products, had launched a series of CCTV cameras (Dome and Bullet) under its ‘Night Vision Series’ earlier. The cameras under ‘Night Vision Series’ are designed to keep crime at vigilance not only during the day but also provide the best clarity in dark conditions and at night. After the successful series, iBall now launches 2.0MP HD Starlight colour night vision camera, in which you can view the visuals in colour under dark conditions, more clearly with precision. It comes equipped with Starlight Technology, which is engineered especially for challenging ultra-low light conditions, and offers best-in-class light sensitivity, using a set of optical features to balance light throughout the scene. This in turn, captures colour details clearly, resulting in clear images in a dark environment. Easy to configure, the iBall Guard colour night vision security camera also comes with 1080p high resolution and a high aperture lens of 4 mm, capturing every detail vividly and brightly. Using the 1/2.8”

Sony Starvis BSI image sensor, the vision is crystal clear. It features a wall-mountable and compactly designed structure. It can also be affixed at the juncture of two walls and the ceiling, effortlessly. Be it heavy rains or extreme cold or heat, the colour night vision camera operates effortlessly smooth even during the extreme weather conditions as well because of its IP66-rated weather-proof housing. It comes with real-time video transmission, allowing the user omnipotent visibility. Under the distance range of 500 metres, the user can see what the camera captures just by connecting a coaxial cable. Along with the Night Vision Series, iBall Guard also brings HD Smart Hybrid Cloud DVR, loaded with smart functions and remote accessibility. Not only does it save the recorded data in the Google Drive and Dropbox, it also acknowledges the area intrusion and line crossing, 24x7. Enabling you to manage the data fast and efficiently from a remote access, the special iBall cloud feature helps you to remotely manage your data at your fingertips. Amidst all, the unique feature of motion detection will trigger an alarm immediately to notify you of the trespasser. Also, it comes with automatic updates that keep the Hybrid Cloud DVR up-to-date with the latest features. It is India’s first such product with exclusive smart features in its price segment. “The iBall Night Vison Series is getting very good feedback

from customers. Now, we are delivering on the next phase of security systems with night vision colour and smart cloud DVRs,” said CEO and Director of iBall, Sandeep Parasrampuria. These products are available with leading retail stores across pan-India. Envisioning the tremendous potential for innovative products required by the everevolving users in computing and digital world, iBall was launched in September 2001. iBall, which started off with just one product category – the mouse – is present now in over 26 product categories. It is today considered one of the most innovative and fastest growing brands in most of its product categories. It has a strong pan-India presence with 26 branches across the country. iBall has enviable penetration and its products are available in over 750 cities and towns right from large format retail outlets to small neighborhood shops. iBall is perhaps the only brand which has over 125 self-owned service centers to provide after-sales services across the country.

Keeping Data Centres Protected Matrix offers various access control data centre solutions

ata centers make for a challenging domain, the success of which depends on security of client data. Most data centers store data for more than one organisation. It is very crucial for the data centers to prevent any unauthorized access of data. Matrix offers a solution whereby data racks are secured biometrically, with records of every access along with its duration. Only authorised person can access specific racks for the stipulated time using biometric verification.

3. Rack Authentication: User will click on the screen and authenticate his/ her identity through a biometric device placed alongside the screen. 4. Rack Selection: Once user completes the authentication process for gaining access to respective racks, he will be able to select the racks to be accessed from a list of accessible racks. 5. Rack Access Allowed: Finally, the user will perform his assigned task within the defined time period.

How it Works?

Solution Description:

The solution is available in two forms, the process of which is listed below:

The features mentioned below enhance the security of data centers: 1. Centralized Biometric Authentication: Biometrics provides high-end security over RFID, and hence integrating biometrics with access control solution fetches complete security for data centers. Usually, an employee is required to punch twice in order to access the data rack of his/her organisation. • First Punch: A biometric device will

be installed at the entrance of the data centre. A user will punch on the device and accordingly he/she will be granted/ denied access. This authentication ensures that an authorised user is trying to access the data center. • Second Punch: Once user is granted access, he/she will punch again at the device installed near the screen in order to access the respective racks. Once the user punches, the screen will display the list of racks that he/she is allowed to access. For example, when ‘X’ employee of ‘ABC Organisation’ punches the second time, the screen will display a list of ABC Organisation racks that are allotted to him. The user then needs to select the racks that he wants to access and accordingly he/she will be granted access. 2. Pre-Defined Rack Access: Every company has designated racks allotted to them. The administrator can define the racks company-wise, which means whenever a user makes his second punch–a list with racks allotted to his/her respective company will be displayed on the screen. This feature acts as a USP for data centers as they can ensure that a rack of company ‘X’ will not be accessible to or misused by an employee of company ‘Y’. 3. Rack Accessible for a Defined Time Period: Every rack that is allocated to a company can only be accessed for a definite period of time. The administrator can set the duration and accordingly users can access their respective racks for the stipulated time period.

Application he/she will be granted/denied access. This authentication ensures that an authorised user is trying to access the data center. Two-level authentication improves the security level. • Second Punch: User will move to the rack and show his/her biometric credential on the device installed at the rack. If the user is authenticated he/she will be allowed to work in the rack for a pre-defined period of time and once finished, the device will close the door automatically. 2.

Rack Accessible for a Defined Time Period: Every rack that is allocated to a company can only be accessed for a definite

Data Rack Management: Data centers have data of more than one organisation stored in a single location. Managing the data racks is a cumbersome process for data centers. Through this solution, data centers can manage each and every company’s rack virtually along with enhancing the security.

Reports The solution provides reports in the form of: • Which rack is accessed by whom, when and for what time duration. • Records related to rack accessibility, time duration, etc. • Alarm for a rack held open for too long, access denied events, etc.

Benefits From data centre point of view: • Easy maintenance of diverse data. • Accurate record of access allowed/ denied in the software. • No manual security required. • Easy data rack management of various companies in a single location. From companies’ point of view: • Complete security of company data. • Accurate records of who accessed data at what time.

leading, Asia-based air cargo terminal, featuring unique worldclass facilities, highly efficient operations, and innovative technology, needed to replace its entire cargo terminal security infrastructure.

Business Situation The terminal’s security infrastructure is two-fold: the Security and Access Control (SAC) division is physical access control system (PACS) requirement driven, while the Permit Control System (PCS) is IT requirement driven. This infrastructure — a Honeywell system ― was installed in 1998 and upgraded in 2009. Last year, Honeywell announced that it would no longer support the system, as the platform had reached end-of-life (EOL). For the terminal, this meant that the entire cargo security infrastructure needed to be replaced.

Technical Situation There were several other issues facing the terminal beyond the product EOL concern. The terminal needed to secure 140 doors, replace 36 controllers, and maintain complete integration with IT and backend systems, including database and credential migration. All new hardware needed to be installed, and yet the high-security system itself had to continue functioning, especially its complex database. Additionally, the new security system had to be flexible enough

For these reasons, many exhibitors have been represented here for many years, such as G+H Isolierung GmbH: “VdS Fire-Safety is one of the most important trade fairs of the year for us. Here we meet ex-actly the target groups that are relevant for us. Also and by no means unimportant: The support provided by VdS is always excel-lent,” explains Jörg Meyer, Head of Communication and Marketing at G+H Isolierung.

An important component of “VdS Fire-Safety”: the major internation-al trade fair with suppliers from the areas of fire protection systems, structural and organisational fire protection.

A multifaceted programme of both the tried and tested and the new VdS Fire-Safety 2018 offers the proven combination of the large in-ternational trade fair, seven top-class conferences, and specialist forums, which are freely accessible to all trade fair visitors. Since last year, the “Future-Forum for Fire Protection”

Innovations and product presentations are met with great interest among the trade visitors to VdS Fire-Safety.

has been an integral part of the programme. Here future topics such as aspects of digitalisation are explained and discussed – an offer that was very well re-ceived in 2017 and brought additional interested visitors to the fair.

International topics and a new symposium This year, VdS Fire-Safety has an international focus – as every two years –, so that many visitors and exhibitors from abroad are also expected. The symposium “Fire Extinguishing Systems” will be held with simultaneous German-English translation and will deal with current case studies and solutions from Germany and abroad. The symposium “Security and Alarm Management – from Planning to Intervention” is new. It reflects the fact that security and fire pre-vention and protection services are increasingly converging and need to be carefully coordinated.

Honeywell Helps Airports Soar to Smarter, Safer Airside Operations Honeywell NAVITAS™ better connects data from air traffic control, maintenance and aircraft, improving awareness and predictability throughout airports

oneywell, a global leader in connected airports, recently announced new smart airport technology that helps enhance the safety and efficiency of airside operations. The Honeywell NAVITAS™ software suite intelligently integrates air and ground traffic control with maintenance operations so that airports can more easily accommodate growing air traffic while promoting safety and on-time performance. Developed to comply with the latest industry standards set forth by organisations — including the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), International Electrotechnical

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MAY 2018

Commission (IEC), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE) — Honeywell NAVITAS includes modular and scalable software components, combined with an intuitive user-friendly interface, providing realtime insights for air traffic controllers and maintenance operators. The components assist personnel in visualizing and routing aircraft movements — from enhancing situational awareness about traffic conditions and more safely expediting aircraft turnaround times, to automating fault diagnostics for airside equipment — all despite the increasing

complexity and stress associated with today’s airport operations. “Airports around the globe are seeing dramatic increases in traffic, and while that makes the world more connected, it increases complexity to ensure safe and reliable operations,” said Sonja Strand, Vice President and General Manager for Honeywell’s Global Airports Business. “NAVITAS helps orchestrate these complex environments like never before through mobile applications, dashboards and heads-up displays that are intuitive. By harnessing the power of the Internet of Things, we are making data user-friendly, and making airports smarter in the process.”

CASE STUDY

The Honeywell NAVITAS modules include Tower Manager, Engineering Manager, Surface Manager and Performance Manager. Specific features of the NAVITAS modules include: • Honeywell NAVITAS Tower Manager helps improve the productivity of air traffic controllers by enhancing situational awareness of airport surface operations. It gives controllers access to rich, real-time information on ground, air traffic and meteorological conditions, presenting the information in a single, easy-to-use interface, and providing visibility into a multitude of traffic events while reducing the chance for error. The system helps manage the air traffic controller’s responsibilities, while making it easier to issue and track aircraft clearance information to keep landings and takeoffs safer and on time. • Honeywell NAVITAS Surface Manager helps airports get more out of their existing infrastructure by enhancing ground traffic safety, fluency and throughput in a wide range of weather conditions, while helping to reduce their fuel burn and carbon footprint. The module also provides the software necessary for airports to use all four levels of an Advanced-Surface Movement

Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS), including surveillance, routing, guidance and airport safety support, along with enhanced movement conflict detection and resolution, which can include ‘follow the greens’-based guidance that automatically illuminates lighting on the tarmac to guide aircraft to clear taxiways. • Honeywell NAVITAS Engineering Manager helps engineers and technicians manage maintenance by enabling them to more effectively monitor system health, more easily perform fault diagnostics and to streamline workflows, which also often helps reduce operational costs. It features a mobile interface and automates the diagnostics and failure reporting, while simplifying manual tasks and reducing paperwork, giving personnel better visibility into the availability, reliability and performance of airside systems. Personnel can easily create, manage and issue work orders to expeditiously resolve issues and keep equipment up and running. • Honeywell NAVITAS Performance Manager features dashboards that allow airport staff to collaborate and analyse operations in line with key performance indicators. The module— which is accessible both on premise and

remotely—provides access to a common base of holistic information and allows for the application of big data analytics for real-time and predictive insights, often enabling more efficient and informed decision-making.

CASE STUDY

Making Airports Safer with Integrated Access Control A leading, Asia-based air cargo terminal, featuring unique world-class facilities, highly efficient operations, and innovative technology, needed to replace its entire cargo terminal security infrastructure. This case study illustrates how it was done

he airport terminal’s security infrastructure is two-fold: the Security and Access Control (SAC) division is the physical access control system (PACS) which is requirement-driven, while the Permit Control System (PCS) is IT requirementdriven. This infrastructure — a Honeywell system — was installed in 1998 and upgraded in 2009. Last year, Honeywell announced that it would no longer support the system, as the platform had reached end-of-life (EOL). For the terminal, this meant that the entire cargo security infrastructure needed to be replaced.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MAY 2018

Solution Identiv creates government-grade physical access security solutions with more than 30 years of physical security experience and features packed into one set of great products. Inherently, Identiv’s solutions are robust, extremely reliable, and feature rich. These solutions are designed and developed with the most secure facilities in mind, but are priced to install anywhere. When considering integration with the terminal’s high-security, complex infrastructure, Identiv proposed installing its Hirsch Mx Controllers with Velocity Software and uTrust TS Readers.

Benefits The terminal chose Identiv’s complete access control solution over a replacement Honeywell system, HID Global, and other local Asian competition, feeling confident in Identiv’s 30+ year history with its Hirsch products, and knowing that Identiv’s hardware and software is built to last without an EOL threat down the road. Identiv’s Hirsch Mx Controllers are designed to integrate seamlessly with current systems, ensuring that existing credentials, readers, and user

databases can be retained. The Mx Controller is the core of Identiv’s physical access control solutions and its modular design and scalable architecture enable an installation to start small and grow large, from a single controller system to a larger, multi-site enterprise. Identiv’s Hirsch Velocity Software is an integrated software platform that manages access control and security operations in hundreds of different facilities, from single high-security rooms to multi-building, multilocation campuses. Velocity allows end-users to control doors, gates, turnstiles, elevators, and other building equipment, monitor users as they move around a facility, prevent unwanted access, maintain compliance, and provide a robust audit trail. Additionally, Identiv’s uTrust TS Reader family offers a comprehensive range of PACS readers based upon secure open standards and an interoperable platform, designed to support most card technologies from proximity through public key infrastructure (PKI) at the door. By choosing Identiv for the complete replacement of its entire cargo security infrastructure, the terminal provides its airline customers safety and reliability through integrated access control.
