Product Launch - Insight Security launch the new SS4000 Random Search Selector
Whatever search techniques or policies an organisation has in place, the Random Search Selector is a boon when there is a need to search selected people, or apply some form of special attention to selected products, processes, etc
What is a Random Search Selector?
Basically it's an electronic device with a built in randomiser algorithm that responds by displaying a "Search" or "Pass" indicator each time the operating button is depressed.
When used in conjunction with a people scanning process, such as using metal detectors to scan pupils entering a school to ensure that they are not carrying knives to class, it can turn a logistical nightmare into a simple and easily manageable process.
Why not scan every pupil as they enter? - well lets assume that there are 1,200 pupils to scan. Even with airport style walkthrough metal detector arches (knife arch), which is the quickest way to scan a person for metal objects, at a conservative 5 seconds per pupil (assuming they all cooperate fully!) it would take between one and a half and two hours to complete the scan! ...the school day would be almost over before lessons could start.
Using a random search selector(s) to select pupils to be scanned, the process could be sped up significantly by selecting (in an unbiased way) just a percentage of pupils to be scanned.
As each pupil passes the random search selector they press the operate button which gives an instant "Search" or "Pass" indicator, and because the school can set the percentage search parameter at anything between 1 and 100 percent it could significantly reduce the numbers needing to go through the lengthier scanning process.
Even if the search percentage was set to be very low (i.e. just 5-10%), because the pupils could not be sure whether they would be selected for search, the overall search process still has a very strong deterrent factor, and because the random search selector unit provides a totally random result every time, there can be no accusation of bias against any pupil selected for searching, whatever their race, ethnic background, past behaviour, etc.
Although retooled as a new product, the EP SS4000 is actually an updated and more stylish looking version of its predecessor, so reliability and proven performance are not in question. It is also fully compatible with existing accessories such as the Remote Buttonand Remote Indicator units,
...and manufacture of the popular battery operated version is unaffected by the launch of the new mains unit, so there's no need to panic.
Random Search Selectors are ideal for a wide range of applications. They are used extensively in the retail sector as part of corporate theft deterrent measures to guard against staff pilfering, they are also frequently used in conjunction with metal detectors as indicated above, as well as with other people scanning type operations.
In manufacturing they can be used to select individual items or batches for quality testing, etc. whilst the battery powered units are often used to select delivery vehicles entering site for specific road-worthiness inspection, load checking, etc.
Simple in concept and easily affordable, the Random Search Selectors and accessories have a role to play in almost any organisations security armoury.
