Security Equipment Industryÿ A Burgeoning Market
The security equipment and services industry provides protection for people and property. According to Frost & Sullivan, the current North American market for Electronic Security Management Systems is some $1.3 billion, growing at about 13% annually. The security industry is being driven by the following major influences: large corporations and government are centralizing their security to reduce costs, and private corporations are striving to provide more security in a cost cutting provincial and municipal environment in response to demands for increasing safety of people and property as a result of terrorism, violence and theft.ÿ The security equipment industry in the United States is expected to grow to $US 2.18 billion by the year 2001.
Retrofits are the major part of this market and the O.P.E.N.centrix security management systemÿ is often able to utilize the cables and end-of-line devices of existing systems. Thousands (2,500) of corporations such as Honeywell and Johnson Controls, the giants of the industry, have committed to systems based on LonWorks impelled by customer demand for the reduced costs and enhanced functionality of interoperability. However, the expertise of these organizations is primarily in building automation, not in access and security systems. While today's manufacturers security management systems have not committed to LonWorks, Alya'sÿ O.P.E.N.centrix is the only truly open system, developed from the ground up. These systems are not only available today, but are being successfully installed inÿ high profile corporations.
