SEPTRE –Security Patrol Tracking Solution
SEPTRE is an effective tool that provides benefits to everyone involved
in the field of security. This tamper-proof system confirms that patrols
are done as scheduled and is 100% accurate. SEPTRE utilizes BARCODE
labels and handheld computers to identify locations quickly, easily
and accurately.
It is important to complete an accurate and efficient patrol in order
to ensure the area is safe and clear.
The barcode labels used are unusual, in that there are no human readable
numbers, which ensures that labels cannot easily be duplicated, and
that patrollers must be at the specified locations to read the labels.
For management, the system offers many advantages. Each location to
be visited can be identified so that the handheld computer gives instruction
to the patroller. Routes can easily be varied, and a patroller can be
asked to "do route 66". The system will identify the first check in
point, and, once that has been scanned, will then identify the next
point. This realistically enables random patrolling.
For the patroller, the route is pre-defined (reducing training requirements).
The system can also be used to provide information on the route. As
one example, in one industrial setting, a piece of processing machinery
was set to self-clean at 03:00 hrs each day. The process involved a
lot of heat, some bad smells, and some smoke. A barcode on the equipment
enabled a new patroller to access notes confirming that this was normal
procedure, and that an alarm call was not required.
The system also enables patrollers to capture useful information. Door
on level three left unlocked. Small leak in ladies washroom on level
14.
As convenient, information is transferred from the handheld computer
to a central database for reporting or future analysis.
In one case, intrusion was detected, and security personnel were able
to confirm that they had in fact checked for security some 15 minutes
before the intrusion - confirming that all was locked and secure at
that time. The system provides assistance to the patroller, and confirmation
that all patrols are completed as scheduled.
