Security and Safety Things GmbH (SAST) will demonstrate their open IoT platform for video surveillance cameras at the Global Security Exchange (GSX) in Chicago, September 10 to 12, 2019 at McCormick Place.

The world’s first open and standardized operating system with a global IoT marketplace will feature applications from more than 15 partner software developers running on security cameras from more than five camera manufacturers in an innovative, airport-themed booth at GSX.

“GSX is the ideal event for us to offer a sneak preview of our rapidly growing ecosystem, which includes camera manufacturers demonstrating prototype cameras with the SAST operating system,” said Hartmut Schaper, CEO of Security and Safety Things.

“We’re particularly excited to present innovative AI applications as part of the SAST marketplace, ranging from real-time edge analytics to deep learning, using technology such as Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services.”

The airport-themed booth will illustrate video analytics use cases in three core areas of an airport: The terminal, the boarding gate and the duty-free shops.

The terminal section will feature a cross-domain use case together with Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services and Here Technologies, presenting how security and customer experience can be improved with deep learning.

The boarding gate section focuses on security and safety use cases, such as showcasing applications to detect abandoned luggage. In the duty-free store, partner developers will illustrate how video analytics help improve store operations and how neural network learning solutions improve the shopping experience of customers.

“Together with our partner Here Technologies, we will for the first time present cross-domain use cases, showcasing how travel journeys can be improved by integrating camera analytics data with mapping services,” said Nikolas Mangold-Takao, VP Product Management, Security and Safety Things.

“These benefits are part of our mission and that of our more than 15 developer partners to help increase security, optimize operations and improve the customer experiences at airports and many other industry verticals as well.”

With the brand entry at the beginning of 2020, SAST will start rolling out its solution.

The IoT ecosystem consists of an open operating system that serves as the common basis for all components: Firstly, a developer portal with tools for testing and a community area for help and inspiration.

Secondly, an app store with ready-to-use apps that can be flexibly combined. And last, but not least a portal for integrators that enables remote device management. These components make it possible to establish completely new solutions and implement them in use cases.

SAST is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH and is part of Bosch’s strategic development of new digital growth markets. In the future, SAST wants to attract further investors and accelerate the expansion of its global ecosystem through external partners.

The Bosch Group offers innovative solutions for smart homes, smart cities, connected mobility, and connected manufacturing.
