Overview of our visit to SICUR Madrid 2020

SICUR is Spain's leading International Security Event. It is held every two years at IFEMA (Madrid), bringing together a large number of companies offering products and services, both private and public, related to the area of Health and Safety at work as well as the latest technologies in Security Infrastructure.

As a MEP (Mechanical-Electrical-Plumbing) installation company, apart from the products and services related to Health and Safety at the working environment (BIEs, safety clothing and footwear, helmets, visual protection, etc.), our interest in SICUR also focused on everything related to mechanical infrastructures of Fire Fighting and Detection, as well as Access Security Infrastructure, intrusion, video surveillance, etc. that are increasingly in demand in the MEP projects that we undertake.

In addition to the strong presence of European and North American companies that have traditionally leading the technological security market, this time it is worth mentioning the emergence and strong presence of Asian companies with new technologies in the field of security. It is worth noting the sophistication in their demonstrations of highly compact and economical CCTV (video surveillance) systems with sophisticated AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithms for tracking different elements in the monitored areas.

The main trend in Security Technologies is its increasingly modular and simple implementation, easy to manage, and centralized and interconnected, supported on the same data infrastructure (copper and fiber optic cabling, data network, etc.), an issue that was particularly emphasized in some of the areas of the exhibition dedicated exclusively to the Internet of Things (IoT) and cyber security in facilities of this type called SICUR MUNDO HACKER: there is no point in a very technologically advanced and interconnected security facility if remote access to ease its management is not reinforced.
