Security and Safety

The fire, safety, and security sector is growing rapidly as organisations and governments prioritise risk management, compliance and public safety. From fire detection and suppression systems to access control, surveillance, and alarms, devices must perform flawlessly in mission-critical scenarios even in harsh environments. With increasing IoT, cloud, and AI integration, electronics must be both robust and connected.
