Percepto's Drone-in-a-Box shortlisted for security technology innovation award

Fire Safety

Percepto’s Drone-in-a-Box (DIB) solution has been named a finalist for the Security & Fire Excellence Awards 2019, in the Security Technology Innovation of the Year category

The winners will be announced on 20 November at the London Hilton on Park Lane, according to the company’s statement.

Percepto’s artificial intelligence powered DIB delivers aerial surveillance by navigating pre-defined patrols, providing real-time detection and tracking of humans and vehicles, as well as anomaly identification, all without the need for a pilot or on-site operator. It is currently being used in security operations by large industrial organizations around the world to improve security and safety, reduce risk, improve regulatory compliance and optimise operations.  

Speaking at IFSEC International earlier this year, where Percepto premiered its next-generation DIB to security professionals in Europe, the co-founder and chief commercial officer of Percepto, Ariel Avitan, said, “The unique aerial perception afforded by autonomous drones will soon become part of the fabric of security and surveillance operations.”

The latest drones provide a surveillance camera in the sky that enables security professionals to monitor and respond across a far wider geographic area much faster. Additionally, because it is autonomous they can fly 24/7 365 even in harsh weather conditions. Avitan maintains that the drone can be used for maintenance and inspection duties.
