Schneider EcoStruxure Security Expert: integrated security management solution

This tool combines software and hardware with IP technology. Enables the convergence of security and IT, merging data from key security systems including video surveillance, intrusion detection, access control and alarm management.

EcoStruxure Security Expert is the latest addition you have made Schneider Electric to its Internet of Things-enabled plug-and-play open architecture (IoT), EcoStruxure. An integrated security management solution that provides high-performance access control and intrusion detection functionality to ensure the most secure construction environment possible.

EcoStruxure architecture offers comprehensive solutions in six areas of expertise: energy, information technology (OF), buildings, machinery, factories and power grids, for four end markets: buildings, data centers, industry and infrastructure.

EcoStruxure Security Expert combines software and hardware with IP technology. Enables the convergence of security and IT, merging data from key security systems including video surveillance, intrusion detection, access control and alarm management.

Its technology also integrates with the SmartStruxure building management system (BMS) Schneider Electric, powered by StruxureWare Building Operation software, allowing you to make clearer decisions, faster responses and achieve maximum facility efficiency.

Building safety data creation is available through easy-to-use interfaces spanning workstations, web stations and mobile devices.

This solution is ideal for a wide variety of environments including hospitals, data centers, hotels and commercial buildings, as well as large companies and small and medium-sized facilities.

“Security Expert marks an evolution of smart building integration that aligns security and IT to improve efficiency and performance. Bringing together building and security systems, previously unconnected, facility managers and security staff can work more effectively, “Better manage emergency situations and obtain information that leads to improved construction efficiency.”, comments about the building”, said Puneet Dhiman., Global Director of Security Offer Management at Schneider Electric.

Traditional security and building automation systems operate independently, which often leads to limitations and custom builds that are expensive to develop and maintain. Con EcoStruxure Security Expert, Organizations can share encrypted information between their central security and building systems for new levels of efficiency.

For example, Employee data can be shared between an organization's security and human resources systems to automatically grant employees access to relevant areas within the facility. Besides, security systems can alert the BMS about building occupancy and lighting systems, HVAC and other building systems can be managed efficiently, generating energy and cost savings.
