- a presentation of a companys soul

ISEC Intelligent Security AB

Every company has a personality


- a soul, so to speak. The soul of a company can be described in many ways. A strategist would almost certainly use the term business concept to do this. A marketing person would most likely prefer the term trademark. Others feel that it is a factor hidden in the walls. A companys personality is something abstract, something that is very difficult to put your finger on. It is formed over a long period of time through contact between personalities and through assignments. The purpose of these words is to show you what ISEC is.

Those with a conception of a traditional system provider will probably find that ISEC doesnt fit so neatly into it. We develop and supply a reliable business partner, come rain or shine. For us renewal is preferred to tradition and flexibility to formality.

We are continually in a state of development


ISEC develops and markets a unique audio/visual surveillance concept. This modular system can easily be adapted to suit different types of application within both security and process surveillance. ISEC systems are all based on a simple but important principle see, hear and present. ISEC, from its founding in 1990, has purposefully worked to provide user friendly systems that in a simple and secure way supply operators with the information they need in the form of images and sound. Initially we ran with the possibilities that new technologies presented but shortly afterwards started, in co-operation with customers, to develop and adapt concepts to suit different applications. We can thank this close working relationship with our customers for our now highly developed ability to realise different customer requirements, an ability that is today one of ISECs most important characteristics. During the past few years we have provided several solutions for process surveillance, including the unique AVISS concept for the atomic energy industry, both in Sweden and abroad. On the security front, we have, in co-operation with leading security companies, supplied a large number of IVS systems. At ISEC, concepts, products and technologies are in a continual state of development. The two fundaments of all our development work are compatibility and documentation: new developments are always adapted to suit existing systems, and we are renowned for the quality of our documentation. These are also parts of ISECs character. Today ISEC is the most tried and tested provider of audio/visual process surveillance systems in Europe, and we have, additionally, a very strong position within the Swedish security market. Thats the present situation; the profile of tomorrows ISEC is unknown to us all. The only thing we can guarantee is that we will continue to develop high quality audio/visual systems and continue to serve our customers, come rain or shine. ISEC is moving into the future as an innovative, profitable, unbounded company.

Through outstanding commitment ISEC has succeeded in providing surveillance systems and support of the highest quality

A complete team at your disposal


We do not only supply audio/visual surveillance systems. We have ourselves and in co-operation with users developed these systems, from the ground upwards, which means that we have, over the past 20 or so years since ISEC was founded, accumulated an incredible amount of know-how. Were not trying to say that we know it all, but, that within our special niche we are leaders, and this status we intend to retain and develop. Being the supplier of advanced systems is not only a question of providing a technical solution. At least as important are all the soft services that are a part of being a long term, reliable working partner. We have been well aware of the importance of this for many years, and ISEC has at least as many soft services as it does hard products. At the introductory, specification stage of a project we often function as an advisor to consultants, system houses, installation contractors and often also the user. By employing our broad experience and network it is often possible for us to arrive at cost effective and simple solutions. Simple solution is something of a key term for us at ISEC. The solution must be easy to use, install, upgrade and maintain. If easy can be achieved then a cost effective solution to the problem has been achieved. Every project is considered unique, meaning that our number one consideration is that of meeting the users requirements, even though it may involve adopting non-standardised methods. This is where our modular system shows its full worth; using it we can easily and securely create new functionality. However, this is not always necessary: a given specification can sometimes be met in a simpler way. We then, naturally, suggest this. When it comes to customer contact, communication shall be effective during the whole of a project, not only during the initial stages. Many people use us as a ball plank while considering different alternatives, a situation that we encourage and are very proud of. We at ISEC think of ourselves as providers of a complete service at your service.

Our purpose, basically speaking, is to find simple solutions to difficult problems

A strong trademark
ISEC has provided hundreds of systems for different applications within process surveillance and security. Our speciality is principally medium sized and large projects where our concept can play its full role. Installation and service has been carried out effectively and professionally, thanks to our competent working partners and their close contact with users. Some of the companies that we have provided systems for are: Forsmark F3 - StAlban (NPP) Forsmark F1 - Tricastin (NPP) - Forsmark F2 - Cruaz (NPP)- Forsmark skalskydd - StLaurent (NPP) - Ringhals avfall - Ringhals skalskydd - Riksbanken - SKB - Regeringskansliet Rosenbad and in several departments - Volvo - SAAB - Ericsson - SSAB PSAB - SKAB - Alfa Laval Vgverket. The areas of application for ISEC are extensive and very variable. An overview clearly indicates the broad scope of our concept. You will find ISEC solutions installed at Sawmills Police stations Cable cars Hospitals Refuse incinerator plants Foodstuffs industry Ports Bus stations Railway stations Steelworks Mines Prisons Naval vessels Cruise liners Pulp industry Research institutions Oil fuelled power stations Post offices Tunnels Mail sorting centres Roads Papermills Traffic control centres Alarm centres Rolling mills Museums Military installations Banks Airports Zoological gardens Pleasure grounds Distribution centres Bridges. It is not only the quantity of our installations that has given the ISEC trademark the reputation that it has today, but more especially the fact that the users of them are satisfied with the systems they have received. There expectations have been met. We are all in the situation where we find the world around us changing ever faster, and it is necessary, clearly, that surveillance systems keep pace with this rate of change. This situation brings out the strongest attribute of our system, which, together with our commitment to be there come rain or shine, forms what we call ISEC.

When a respected customer without hesitation says, In that case I want an ISEC installed. we can, I think, say that we are well on the way to having created a strong trademark.

Our work is becoming increasingly international


ISEC has, together with the Swedish nuclear energy industry, developed a unique concept for the presentation of image and sound in control rooms. The resulting system is registered under the trademark AVISS, an abbreviation for Audio Visual Integrated Surveillance System. Thanks to this operators can now quickly and effectively obtain vital process information, without unnecessary risk of exposure to radiation. Images from the process relate in real time what is happening, and the sound connection supplements this information, which of course increases the likelihood of the correct decisions being made when they are most needed. Lots of different functions are built into AVISS to simplify the work of operators and reduce the risk of costly breakdowns. After several years of tests ISEC has been appointed as a supplier to the French nuclear energy industry, and it is with this accreditation as a base that we have made the decision to internationalise a part of our operations. Through working partners in a number of selected countries ISEC will be presented as Made in Sweden

Audio/visual surveillance systems from ISEC satisfy customer requirements in different countries in a trouble free, effective way

A knowledgeable working partner with simple solutions


The secret to the successful supply of advanced surveillance systems is really quite simple. Its just a matter of supplying a system that exceeds the customers expectations. We are convinced that, as suppliers, we can strengthen are market position still further by, in the future, continuing to exceed the expectations of our customers. When it comes to areas of specialization, we can say that we are extremely competent in every aspect of audio/visual solutions. Any solution the market may call for is available in our selection. ISEC is particularly strong in what we consider our specialist area: process surveillance and supply of large security installations. We are naturally very interested in and make a lot of effort to familiarize ourselves with the problems and requirements of our users. The better our understanding of the different processes the more effectively we can tailor make the best solution. Our technical solutions are often totally based on ISEC technology, which we have been developing and fine tuning for the past fifteen years. Solutions are usually technically complicated, but because of our possibility to tailor make their functionality, operators can be given a working environment that has been adapted to suit every users requirements and requests. This results in increased effectiveness. In todays world the conditions for all operations are continually changing. With a flexible system from ISEC these changes can to an extent be accommodated for in a simple and cost effective way. We have learnt that in this respect our concept is unbeatable and that this aspect is considered very beneficial by many of our customers. When it comes to service and maintenance of our systems, we know that we have a very good reputation. One of our bigger customers, whose system was installed in 1995, said, There is only one problem with ISEC; it never breaks down and consequently we have no experience of servicing our installation.

Our ability to offer simple solutions and our consistent striving to exceed customer expectation are two of our greatest strengths

ISEC in a changing world


The rate of development has been incredible in recent years. New technology has pathed the way for new solutions and there appears to be no end to this situation. Today information is transferred at the speed of light. Transformation, new investment and mergers are happening everywhere. Old solutions are being replaced by new. We as system suppliers have found ourselves within a span of only a couple of years working with a new set of rules and with totally new challenges. Through the hurricane entry of digital technology, IP and the Internet have now become the new hot technologies. Many IT companies present solutions based totally on these technologies and there is considerable confusion as to what is a worthwhile investment and what is not. ISECs concept offers the unique opportunity of mixing technologies, of using the established infrastructure and building new technology into it. Our approach is that operators should not need to concern themselves over whether a camera is IP or conventionally connected or whether a presentation is via a conventional video monitor or a PC screen. Ability and the willingness to adapt and develop ISECs existing concept to new circumstances is a part of our character. Consequently you can be sure that an investment in ISEC is a safe long-term investment. Supplying surveillance systems has a lot to do with communication, communication from a purely technical standpoint in the form of solutions, but first and foremost communication between individuals. ISEC represents much more than just a unique combination of technical knowledge and experience. It also represents: Curiosity. Commitment. Empathy. Humour. Satisfaction. In simple terms: Our company soul
