Federal Signal’s Integrated Command Solution:  The nucleus of a fully integrated safety and security system.

Today’s industrial environments depend on a host of diverse systems to assure adequate workplace safety and security.  These systems encompass everything from access control, CCTV and public address, to fire alarm warnings and intercommunications.  Unfortunately, many of these systems are deployed at different times and for different reasons with the too-often consequence that they are either incompatible with one another, or driven by proprietary technologies.  Ultimately, usage of these disparate systems results in a communications breakdown that inhibits security personnel from responding quickly and effectively to events.  And in far too many cases, this disparity dictates a reliance on human intervention to take the critical next step that, put in the simplest terms, may be too little too late.

In today’s world seconds count … and the ability to disseminate information from multiple systems and then react in real time cannot be overstated.  After-the-fact interpretation of data to initiate the appropriate action response can be a challenging responsibility for even the most seasoned security professional.  And that’s precisely where Federal Signal—a leading edge technology provider of fail-safe security systems—enters the picture.

The FS Codespear-enabled Integrated Command Solution (ICS) ties directly into the Federal Signal Interoperable Industry Platform, providing an effective bridge between disparate industrial systems.  Federal Signal is focused on tightening the gap that separates a well-executed response in real time from a response that is unnecessarily prolonged and that might lead to tragic consequences.  Through the Integrated Command Solution, Federal Signal now delivers the proactive system assessment and accelerated response time that everyone has been waiting for.
