Handheld materials identification system

Cobalt’s Resolve is a ground-breaking new handheld system that identifies hazardous materials through sealed opaque containers. It is designed for applications in hazmat incident management, first response, law enforcement, and screening at ports and borders. It uses a proprietary spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) technology to detect and identify chemicals through opaque barriers such as colored and non-transparent plastics, dark glass, paper, card, sacks, and fabric. Measured spectra are accurately matched to comprehensive onboard spectral libraries and the system identifies materials including explosives and precursors, hazardous and toxic materials, chemical agents, narcotics, and new psychoactive substances, plus thousands of benign chemicals.

Video security analytic software

Arteco’s Event Analytics platform combines the power of analytics software with intuitive video security monitoring to push forward the concept of event-driven intelligence for maximum situational awareness, singling out the most relevant information in the face of a security breach. Arteco VEMS integrates and converges third-party sensors into one common platform, allowing for an interoperable system that is easy to use and to provide training for operators. Event Analytics is a separate tool that can be used to analyze events that are managed inside the VEMS and provide greater situational awareness to security teams. Event Analytics can also be used inside the VEMS tool itself or through any browser or mobile device.
