Prosegur seeks global start-ups to create Covid-free, safe spaces

PROSEGUR, a multinational security company headquartered in Madrid, Spain, has extended a challenge to start-ups globally to find security solutions to create Covid-19-free and therefore, safe work spaces.

According to a statement, the solution should focus on three priority areas. The first area is people flow control in work spaces, covering new capacity limits, detection of personal protective elements, queue control or hot spot detection.

The second is access control and identity validation systems, allowing automatic and contactless access control for workers and visitors, guaranteeing security and preventing any kind of fraud.

The third area is health monitoring systems via Command & Control platforms — communication platforms to provide tools for self-assessment and communication with doctors and emergency services, as well as health monitoring devices that allow remote monitoring of vital signs.

This initiative is part of the open innovation programme launched by Prosegur ‘Come In’, the first open innovation project promoted by one of the largest private security multinationals.

The programme also poses five other challenges for start-ups to collaborate in cybersecurity, security, cash, alarms and the corporate sphere.

Five winners will sign a four-month contract to work on improving their product, in collaboration with Prosegur business units and their customers. More details at http://www.prosegur.com/comein/. — May 4, 2020, Bernama
