In response to industry feedback, PSI has embarked on a new set of research and development activity aimed at enabling the SecureMat® system to be connected to a security alarm panel. It follows a strategic design review undertaken in February 2013 that considered industry feedback to the effect that the standalone SecureMat® technology with its separate controller box and alarm system that PSI had developed were insufficient to meet industry needs.

For the industry to embrace the SecureMat® system it would have to move from its current configuration to a simpler product that could be connected to the type of security alarm panel that most of the industry were using already. This would enable the SecureMat® technology to be used as one of a suite of technologies that all connected to the same alarm panel.
