PCB Uses: Safety and Security Industry

The demand for PCB assemblies is increasing in the safety and security industry as technology advances, enabling more efficient and effective protection of lives and property. Safety and security systems are becoming more sophisticated, and the majority of applications, regardless of whether voice-activated, audiovisual or key control systems, are electronic. At around the same time, the world is becoming increasingly risk-averse, and as a result, we are more likely to use products aiming to strengthen individual, corporate, and national safety.

PCBs are necessary for the operation of electronic safety and security systems. As a result, an increasing number of original equipment manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers across the industry spectrum require specialised PCB assembly services.

What Types of Security Products and Systems Require PCB Assemblies?

Manufacturers across a variety of industries, including rail, aircraft, transportation infrastructure, oil and gas, nuclear energy, theme parks, hospitality, and retail, need PCBs and PCB assembly services for safety and security applications.

These applications play a critical role in delivering public safety and service, employee safety, and helping businesses meet and exceed corporate responsibility objectives and targets. They are essential to guaranteeing safety and security in several circumstances.

Products and systems for safety and security that call for PCB assembly include:

• CCTV programmes
• Teleprompter systems
• Management of fire safety
• Informational and safety signs for the road
• Systems for managing rail networks
• Customer information systems in airports
• Tyre monitoring for construction vehicles
• Sensors for construction workers' proximity
• Door-entry systems

What are PCB-powered Applications doing to Improve Safety and Security?

The tyre sensor technology utilised by tyre manufacturers to track tyre performance on vehicles used in the mining sector is an excellent illustration of a PCB-powered safety and security application.

The driver and a central hub are notified by the sensor and receiver unit technology if the tyre temperature or pressure deviates from predetermined ranges, allowing the vehicle to be taken off-site and fixed before the tyre blows. Tyre explosions are extremely dangerous and pose a major risk to the lives of drivers and anybody nearby.

Similar to how construction organisations can better protect employee safety and uphold their safety duties by using helmet sensors and receiver units. Hard helmets and other PPE, such as Hi-Vis jackets, are equipped with sensors, and receiving units are placed in the cabs of nearby machinery. A warning is delivered to the worker if the equipment or ground employees come too close to one another.

A key management system is another illustration of a security application that needs PCB assembly. These kinds of systems, which frequently include card readers, enable businesses to tightly regulate access to locations or particular areas of facilities, enhancing personal safety and corporate security.

These goods and systems must perform to a high quality given the expansion of safety and security applications and the importance that this technology plays in ensuring safety and security for individuals, businesses, and nations. Your choice of PCB assembly partner becomes crucial as a result.
