Maximum Detection in Rural Areas with DFUSION

Fruits Secs Cortal is a company specialized in the production and commercialization of shelled pine nuts, which are in high demand both nationally and internationally. As a result, the company operates a plant in a large rural area where pine cones are processed and pine nuts are marketed. Due to its location in a rural area, ensuring the protection of the outer perimeter has been a significant challenge for installation companies.

For instance, perimeter security in agricultural zones or areas far from cities requires specialized solutions that ensure optimal protection and precise intruder detection.

Case Study

Fruits Cortal

Fruits Secs Cortal is a family firm that produces and sells shelled pine nuts, a product with an enormous nutritional value which is highly prized in both the national and international markets. The company has a pine nut production plant on a large rural site where the pinecones are processed, and the nuts are extracted for marketing.

The use of traditional processing methods makes this business a benchmark in the sector, and its activity is of great value to waste management and biodiversity conservation in the northeast region of the Iberian Peninsula. Pinecones are carefully selected, and their high-quality kernels are extracted using time-honoured techniques and automated processes. Also, the raw materials are stored outdoors, meaning that Fruits Secs Cortal needed a smart video analytics system to protect its site perimeter.

An extensive area to protect with irregular adjoining zones.

Customer needs

Traditional systems are often responsible for many false positives, making security management difficult, increasing costs, and causing inconvenience to everyone involved (client, alarm station, police, etc.). In this project, Fruits Secs Cortal had two challenges. Firstly, keep trespassers out to prevent theft and vandalism, and secondly, reduce false alarms caused by wild animals and adverse environmental conditions.

Now our solutions have been installed, early detection is guaranteed to keep unwanted visitors off the site.

Solution

TELECTA selected DAVANTIS video analytics to install with this perimeter security system. By combining DFUSION technology with strategically positioned CCTV cameras to feed the system with images, a previously passive surveillance system was transformed into a precise, state-of-the-art, proactive alarm solution connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre.

The first stage of the project entailed determining precise positions for the visible cameras. It was important to analyse potential blind spots to do this, and the existing infrastructure was used to minimise installation costs.

Technology

The use of DFUSION allowed the definition of customized security rules, fully adapting to the environment of each installation to offer a comprehensive and flexible system. The DAVANTIS technical team supported Telecta and Fruits Secs Cortal throughout all phases of the project, from design and planning to configuration and commissioning, thus exceeding the client’s expectations.

The implementation of DFUSION has drastically reduced false positives caused by wild animals and lowered operational costs. DFUSION has proven to be a robust and reliable system, meeting the highest security standards and minimizing the risk of theft and intrusions in complex installations.

“Our premises are in a rural area, where ensuring our security has proven difficult and costly. However, this collaboration with Telecta and DAVANTIS has given us a more accurate, secure system that gives us peace of mind and we can rely on our security system.“
