Facility managers responsible for securing public venues must ensure that the facilities are well equipped and prepared to cope with any emergency event, from vandalism, rioting crowds and violence to natural disasters, fires and bombs.

While myriad advanced systems and devices have been introduced to help thwart such threats, the volume of information available to operators and decision makers continues to grow. The overload of data from diverse sensors and devices makes it nearly impossible for security managers to identify and control emergencies. As such, operators need a solution that provides them with only essential information so that they can control and manage all devices at their disposal and effectively maintain public safety.

SimGuard is the leading holistic physical security information management (PSIM) system. Bringing safety, security and facility management under one umbrella, SimGuard provides situational awareness and a decision-support tool for ensuring operational continuity. SimGuard's open architecture enables integration with all key safety and security functionalities (e.g. alert management, video management and surveillance, e-Logging, reporting, information distribution) via a single, unified platform featuring 3D virtual reality for optimal situational awareness.

SimGuard facilitates the management of both routine and emergency events so that facility managers and operators can safeguard gatherings at sports, entertainment and other large-scale public events.
