PSIM partnership

Vanderbilt’s partnership with Citel Spa targets Italy’s financial services sector

Security systems multinational Vanderbilt has partnered with Citel Spa, a supplier of physical security information management (PSIM) software, to further penetrate Italy’s financial and industrial sector.

Citel Spa uses IT solutions to improve security, safety and buildings management.

The firm works with many of Italy’s leading banks and financial services providers, supplying its core product Centrax-PSIM operating platform. The software is designed to integrate hardware and software products from third party companies.

Recently Vanderbilt adopted the CEI-ABI protocol for its EN 50131 compliant SPC intrusion detection system, defined for the Italian financial sector. CEI-ABI will be included in the forthcoming SPC 3.8, for integration with Centrax.

Nils Fazzini, general manager at Citel, says: “In the Italian financial sector, security is obviously a major concern and being able to control, monitor and manage proactively disparate situations via our Centrax platform enhances the ability of personnel to identify and proactively resolve situations. This is the beginning of what I expect to be a very productive relationship with Vanderbilt.”

Vanderbilt’s SPC intrusion detection has a modular design, an embedded internet server and support for wireless detectors. To accommodate changes to layouts within banks, the system can be reconfigured and extended. To reduce disruptive and costly false alarms, the system has automatic and manual facilities for event verification and, as a further aid to dependable operation, all units in the range have integrated emergency power sources.

While Vanderbilt is already active in Italy’s financial sector, the partnership with Citel Spa will enable the company to target new opportunities. The operability in SPC 3.8 means the entire system can be centrally managed, monitored and maintained via Centrax which, making it cost-effective and easy to use.
