The award recognises products and initiatives that are coping with a challenging and evolving external environment that demonstrate clear innovation, as well as sustainability that support energy efficiency, enhanced performance and reduced environmental impact.

Designed for extreme reliability and versatility, the Redscan Pro range uses Lidar technology to create a high-resolution virtual laser wall or plane up to 100m long. The sensors integrated panoramic assistance camera allows users to visualise the detection area and quickly make an optical alignment if necessary. Redscan Pro is also ONVIF protocol (Profile S) compliant, meaning it allows alarm outputs and the video stream from the assistance camera to be sent to any ONVIF-compliant network video system or IP network devices.

The series includes two models, the RLS-3060V and the RLS 50100V, featuring 30x60m and 50x100m detection range respectively. The rectangular detection pattern (instead of fan-shaped) allows comprehensive corner to corner protection without any ‘gaps’, making it the ideal solution for protecting facades, flat roofs of commercial buildings and perimeter structures of large installations. Alerts can be configured to meet specific detection criteria or logic, allowing to filter events and focus on what really matters to the security team.

Masaya Kida, Managing Director of Optex EMEA, says the award recognises Optex’s continued focus and development of innovative solutions for its customers: “The Redscan Pro Series was born from years of research and feedback from our customers on what features they need and what applications they want to use our Lidar technology for. We are delighted to win this prestigious award, which reflects the hard work and commitment of our global team in delivering best-in-class sensing and detecting solutions for our clients.”

The awards were presented at The Ritz Carlton Dubai International Financial Centre.
