Optex Europe’s Redscan wins another award
Optex Europe, leading manufacturer of detection technology, has beaten six other nominees in the PSI Premier Awards: Product Innovation of the Year category for its RLS3060 laser detector. The RLS3060 is a laser-scan detector that can determine a target’s size, speed and distance from the unit. The algorithm ensures accurate and reliable detection of activity with minimal false alarms. To enhance coverage, the detector can be mounted to allow horizontal or vertical detection fields. It has already been awarded Security Excellence and IFSEC awards in the last year.
When mounted vertically, the detector creates a 60 metre detection field that acts as a wall; when mounted horizontally, a 30 metre radius detection field is created over a 180° area. The detection field can be zoned, and the unit offers four independent outputs to allow varied responses to be initiated.
The detector can either be manually configured, or automatic configuration can be applied, achieving best level settings for even complex shaped areas. Held at Moor Park Golf Club, Rickmansworth, the PSI Premier Awards are given in recognition of product quality and customer service. All products and manufacturers are both nominated and voted for by the professional installation sector.
Nigel Hackett, Sales Director for Optex Europe, comments: “Optex has been at the forefront of detection technology for 30 years, our products deliver the maximum capture rates with minimum false alarms, whatever the environment, and REDSCAN sets the benchmark for intruder alarms for the future as the PSI Premier Award demonstrates.”

St Mary Magdalene Academy selects RAM
St Mary Magdalene Academy, a mixed academy providing schooling from early years up to Sixth Form, has selected Asset4000 and Track4000 from Real Asset Management (RAM) to control and maintain its £41 million worth of fixed assets. The new integrated system will centrally manage all assets from the Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form departments, helping control financial, legal, accounting and compliance requirements across the entire school. In addition, the asset register will allow visibility of the assets within each department, ensuring the Academy maximises their utilisation and limits
unnecessary purchases. Ian Ship, Director of Finance and Administration at
St Mary Magdalene Academy, adds, “Principally, the centralised asset register will afford St Mary Magdalene Academy the ability to control spend by monitoring the values of assets and purchasing levels by department, ensuring we stay within budget and focus spend on those areas of the school that have a specific need.”
