The Customer
Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL)
About The Customer
Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL) is the Greater Stockholm Local Transit Company that transports about 790,000 passengers each day. SL operates buses, subways, commuter trains, local trains, trams, platforms, and other parts of the stations. The company is committed to ensuring the safety and security of its passengers and staff. SL has a Security Center (Trygghetscentral), which is part of SL’s total security solution, that helps people travel safely and securely on public transport. The Security Center is staffed with operators who monitor video footage in real time around the clock.
The Challenge
Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL), Greater Stockholm Local Transit Company, was faced with the challenge of updating its existing security camera system. The company aimed to maintain a high level of safety and security for passengers and staff, combat crime such as theft, robbery, and vandalism, and support its staff in daily operations and emergency response operations. SL also wanted to ensure that it had a good video surveillance system which was able to provide good image material to investigate accidents, perform better analyses for accident prevention and better assist the police with images for criminal investigations. The challenge was further compounded by the complicated light conditions, exposure to tampering, dirt, vibrations, and extreme temperature variations, and the need for the cameras to be easy to clean, withstand a high-pressure washer, and be easy to control and manage centrally.
The Solution
SL updated its security system with about 22,000 cameras, making it the largest installation of security cameras in Northern Europe. The update involved the replacement of about 4,000 network cameras, a large percentage of which are from the AXIS P32 and AXIS P33 series, together with XProtect® software from Milestone Systems. The security cameras are reliable, durable, easy to install, and can handle very severe lighting conditions. Due to advanced technology within the Axis cameras and their policy of an open API, they were able to reduce the system’s bandwidth requirements and provide a solution that was both cutting-edge and future-proof. The cameras installed are primarily network cameras from the AXIS P32 and AXIS P33 series that work together with Milestone Systems’ XProtect® Corporate software, which is specially designed for large security installations. These are seamlessly and effectively integrated with the existing security system and other elements of the IT infrastructure.

Case Study
Smart City Public Safety
Amyx+ worked with a local government authority to develop an Internet of Things-enabled public safety strategy. In the current state, vigilance meant manually scanning through potentially hundreds of analog surveillance videos feeds. Manual, costly and ineffective, the local agency desired to transition from analog to digital CCTV, apply computer vision and other technologies to automatically detect potential crime in progress, expedite and streamline emergency calls and integrate with personal wearables to ensure the safety of their citizens.

Data Capture for Afghanistan Forces
Electronic equipments on the field of Afghanistan provided information on the status of the vehicle and to identify potential threats surrounding it to the British Force. The monitoring and interpretation of this data requires robust and sophisticated digitization for data capture and communication.
Case Study
Major Aerospace Company Automates Asset Management
The O&M division of an aerospace and global security company was using spreadsheets to manually track more than 3,000 assets assigned to students and staff. Maintaining audit trails for this high volume of equipment became increasingly time-consuming and challenging. The chore involved knowing precisely what equipment was on hand, what had been issued, its location and the name of the custodial owner of each item. Every aspect of this task was carried owner of each item. Every aspect of this task was carried out by individuals with spreadsheets. Manually documenting the full lifecycle of each asset added to the burden. This included tracking maintenance requirements and records, incidents and damages, repairs, calibrations, depreciation, and end-of-life data.

Intamac And Securitas Collaborate To Improve Monitoring Structures
Securitas wanted to give new and existing customers a proposition that was unlike anything they had offered before, a security system that broke the traditional mould but took advantage of the monitoring infrastructure that was already in place, including the manned response capabilities and alarm receiving centres.
