PSI Securemat wins ‘the New Inventors’

The judging panel on the popular ABC show ‘New Inventors’ unanimously voted PSI’s SecureMat winner of the show broadcast on 13 July. The judges were impressed with the simplicity of the SecureMat technology and commented on the potential for use in different fields, for example pool safety and smart home applications. The ability to ‘sense a perimeter’ with negligible false alarms would be important in many industries, not just security, they said.

As a result of the win our inventor Dean Vey, PSI’s chief engineer, is now in the running to win ‘New Inventors’ invention of the year.

Introduction

The SecureMat® is a new and innovative approach to protecting the perimeter of restricted premises, restricted areas and expensive equipment that needs to be stored onsite. The concept involves placing a mat on the ground inside a perimeter fence that can detect any intruder standing, walking or running across the protected area. The system incorporates fibre-optic technology with sophisticated signal analysis to provide excellent rates of detection and negligible false alarms.

SecureMat® systems are easy to deploy and feature an onsite control setup, a GSM modem to send SMS intruder alerts to multiple mobile phones, key locking, deterrent alarms comprising a siren and blue flashing light if required, and CCTV options. The onsite controller has a range of features, including:

• on-board LCD for configuration and system viewing
• configurable 15-character unique ID
• configurable destination mobile number
• GPS-synchronised, battery-backed, real-time clock
• optional solar power source.

PSI has a limited number of SecureMat® systems available for sale. Telephone 02 6162 2757 for further information.

Partnering

PSI is seeking partners to commercialise the SecureMat® system.

The secureMat® Core Module condenses 3 years of research, development and testing by Perimeter Security Industries Ltd into a simple electronic module. This provides access to PSI's advanced patented technology for a large number of parties including security product manufacturers, researchers, educational institutions, and the general public. The SecureMat® Core Module provides a unique opportunity to developers to incorporate the simple, reliable, and robust technology into new and existing products. SecureMat® core modules are available in single, dual, or quad configurations.

The SecureMat® Evaluation Board (SM-EVB) allows developers to quickly and easily demonstrate and evaluate the SecureMat® advanced patented technology for a fraction of the price of a complete system. The SM-EVB includes a SecureMat® single core module, configuration and visualisation software, a selection of LED/LDR combos, a small mat sample, and some optic fibre for testing.

We are also seeking expressions of interest from individuals and companies interested in becoming distributors, agents or on-sellers.
