NAVMAN WIRELESS LAUNCHES VEHICLE TRACKING AND CAMERA TECH
UK businesses' exposure to vehicle collision and compensation costs could increase, according to vehicle tracking specialist Navman Wireless, who are launching a new integrated vehicle tracking and camera technology solution to help customers manage the full spectrum of risks facing their organisations.
Navman Wireless' ‘360 Degree' fleet safety solution, which integrates telematics, vehicle tracking technology and in-cab safety camera equipment, is designed to improve road safety, reduce insurance costs and enhance duty of care. According to Navman Wireless, the combination of the two systems creates a “seamless umbrella of preventive and protective technology”.
“Britain currently has one of the best road safety records in the world, but
the rise of ‘crash for cash' insurance scams and forthcoming increased speed limit for lorries, for example, are expected to increase the risk to those UK businesses that operate commercial fleets,” said Scott Hutchins, VP sales UK & Ireland, Navman Wireless.
Navman Wireless describes the in-cab safety camera equipment, supplied by Smart Witness, as a “safety net”.
“It's a last line of defence for drivers and fleet businesses in those unfortunate circumstances beyond their control," Hutchins said. “It's about prevention and protection. Telematics technology is integral to a successful preventive safety strategy because it can be effectively utilised to assess drivers and ensure safety and quality. The introduction of in-cab camera technology not only protects the driver and business from ‘not at fault claims’, but also enables us to offer a complete proactive and preventative solution, which has the potential to deliver measurable improvements in terms of accident and cost reduction.”

Evac+Chair International and Sigma Fire & Security exhibited at the Intersec Show held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre on 18th – 20th January 2015.
On display was a selection of Evac+Chairs, a universal evacuation solution for smooth stairway descent during an emergency situation, which remove the need for great physical strength or lifting.
Alongside the range of evacuation chairs was the Sigma Fire & Security product range designed to protect fire, safety and security equipment. The ‘Smart +’ range of devices protects equipment and acts as a deterrent to reduce the likelihood of accidental damage, vandalism and misuse. The stand allowed visitors to interact with the products and participate in live demonstrations.
Sigma Fire & Security is the latest division of Evac+Chair International, the well-known manufacturer of the evacuation chair. Sigma FS designs, develops, manufactures and distributes a range of innovative specialist fire
6
and security products. It is based in Birmingham and headed up by Ges Wallace who has 30 years’ experience within the fire & security industry. Some of Sigma’s trusted key partners include GfS Germany and Vimpex UK.
Mark Roberts, Sales & Marketing Director of Evac+Chair International, said: “We are thrilled with the success of the show and the interest generated for the Evac+Chair and Sigma product ranges. Not only was the show
hugely rewarding from a business perspective, but it also allowed us to catch up with our existing customers in the Middle East and develop plans for the future.”
Ges Wallace, Director of Sigma Fire & Security, said: “The exhibition attracted visitors from a wide range of countries in the Middle East, providing us with the opportunity to promote the Sigma range of products, in particular the Smart+Guard – a device designed to protect emergency switches from vandalism, misuse or accidental operation. The Smart+Guard is proven to reduce false fire alarms caused by malicious or accidental operation of manual call point break glass. ”
The Intersec Show is a global trade and networking exhibition for the security and safety industries, offering a wide variety of products across information security, fire and rescue, health and safety, homeland security and policing. This year saw 1,237 exhibitors and 25,000 visitors from 131 countries in attendance.
