Alarm & Video Monitoring Winsted Reaches New Heights with the Ascend


Technical furniture specialists Winsted, has taken control room console design to new heights with the launch of the new Ascend console, being shown for the first time in the UK at IFSEC 2011. viewing, operator comfort and productivity.


The Ascend, the latest addition to Winsted’s Prestige Series of consoles, features electric leg lifts offering three programmable height settings enabling operators to quickly and easily adjust the work surface height with the touch of a button for ultimate versatility and optimum comfort.


Also on display at the event will be Winsted’s M- View monitor wall, never shown before on UK soil. The M-View is a completely modular viewing solution suited for any control room environment.


Each M-View is designed and manufactured by the company to support your specific monitor configuration and fit in your unique space. The monitor wall can support any size screen and can be configured as an in-line, concave, or convex mounting solution. The M-View seamlessly integrates technology and space to optimise viewing angles to deliver maximum


Winsted’s range of consoles and M-View monitor walls combine seamlessly to deliver modular solutions for the workflow demands of any control room operation.

Winsted the Company


Since its inception in 1963, Winsted has consistently been a pioneer in console design and development. The companies product concept and design is driven by industry needs and demands, with many product ideas suggested by customers and developed with their input.


A dominant factor in the U.S markets for many years, Winsted expanded into overseas markets in 1975, primarily in England. In 1976 the


company began concentrated efforts to establish distribution in the Far East.


Winsted’s international distribution was firmly established in 1984 with the formation of Winsted Ltd, UK. Since then Winsted Ltd has become a marketing and manufacturing facility serving the European, Middle East and African markets. With an ever expanding global network of distributors, Winsted is in an excellent position to satisfy and support its rapidly growing international client base.


Command & Control Siemens Style


Siemens keeps security in focus at modern Command & Control centers. With Siveillance ELS Vantage Siemens by introducing another innovative solution for Command & Control centers.


This new software was specifically developed for integrated security management of companies having critical infrastructures, including for example industrial complexes, heavy industry, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, power generation and distribution, oil and gas, public transportation, ports and airports.


Siveillance ELS Vantage is exceptional because it supports all processes and procedures of a modern security organization, adapting without difficulty to customer-specific requirements and policies. The system reduces risks and the effects of potential damage within companies which in turn saves them money.


The open interfaces enable diverse security systems such as access control, video surveillance, intelligent video, fire detection, emergency call stations, telephone and others to be integrated without difficulty. Combining the features of an advanced Command & Control center yields efficient and professional security management. The necessary security processes are thereby

entirely covered. This means it automatically displays alarms and messages relayed from subsystems, and emergency calls can be answered directly. An integrated user experience via interactive prompts enables rapid awareness of situations even under duress. The system also recommends a course of action for handling particular events, facilitating subsequent command, control and tracking of measures.


Recovery and analysis of incidents can be easily achieved following an event; thus optimizing a security organization and its procedures. A system user can arrange the work station to their individual needs. The new software from Siemens displays all information in an innovative single screen view. The familiar “classic” Command & Control center design with three screens is also available.


By making all information relevant to a specific event available, such as the storage of hazardous goods in the vicinity, security personnel are able to grasp the current situation quickly. The on-site situation is displayed graphically not only via building plans, but also using a Geographic Information System (GIS), in 2D or even 3D. Display


options are complemented through video integration, including the control of video walls.


Companies having complex and widespread infrastructures or several locations can thereby optimize their security processes. For companies having critical infrastructures, disturbance-free operation is a vital requirement, and predefined security guidelines are therefore indispensable. Detailed action plans are consequently prepared for a wide range of possible incidents and scenarios.


The solution adapts to these individual needs and guidelines, thereby significantly reducing the response time in case of an event and minimizing potential for human error. Siveillance ELS Vantage makes round-the-clock Command & Control center operation possible. High availability and operational stability of the system are thus safeguarded so that no alarms are missed.


A role-based user structure allows operators to allocate tasks according to spatial, topical or time. A fully web-based architecture enables the system for use in both centralized and decentralized organizations. Updates and upgrades are carried out easily without having to interrupt normal system operation.
