MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaNovember 24, 2023November 14, 202404 mins

TDSI announced an update to their GARDiS Web Embedded Access Control System, which now includes up to 12 Doors as standard thanks to a firmware update. Firmware version 3.9 now enables the inclusion of 12 doors (up from eight previously) without the need for a license dongle, while only one dongle is now required to take the system from 12 doors up to the control unit’s maximum of 44 doors. This new, improved configuration is applicable to all new GARDiS 1, 2 and 4 Door Web Embedded Master Controllers supplied both with and without Power Supply Units: GARDiS 1 Door Web Embedded Master Controller – 5002-6001. GARDiS 2 Door Web Embedded Master Controller – 5002-6002. GARDiS 4 Door Web Embedded Master Controller – 5002-6004. TDSi’s Managing Director John Davies commented, “The addition of four extra doors to our off-the-shelf master ACU’s gives significantly more scope for small businesses to set up the secure access control they need, at an all-in initial cost. These additions make it even easier to install and configure secure access control for any small to medium sized facilities looking for a simple, clean setup without the need for any dedicated computer or server hardware. Removing the additional 20 door dongle also makes system configuration easier to understand and enables the addition of extra doors, up to the system maximum of 44, through a single, one-off purchase.” John added, “This streamlined approach to the product range and setup process offers better value at the initial one to 12 door level, where this product is perfectly positioned to offer a robust access control solution, which is simple to set up and administer, all at a low cost-per-door.” The GARDiS Web Embedded Access Control Unit is a user-friendly solution designed to provide seamless and secure access control management. The innovative unit combines the power of an embedded server (removing the requirement for a dedicated PC) with robust access control features, allowing users to conveniently control and monitor access. With its web-embedded interface, administrators can easily configure and manage user permissions, schedules, and event logs, streamlining the access control process. Its scalability and flexibility make it perfect for smaller single site systems where up to 5,000 credentials are required. The updated 12 Door firmware upgrade is included on all new GARDiS 1, 2 and 4 Door Web Embedded Master Access Control Units and is available now.

Case Study

UVeye Partners with Amazon to Automate Vehicle Inspection Tasks with AI

The AI system will be rolled out across hundreds of Amazon delivery stations in the U.S., Canada and Europe UVeye, a pioneer in the development of automated vehicle inspection systems, and Amazon announced the deployment of AVI (Automated Vehicle Inspection), an AI-powered system that automates most of the daily inspection process of delivery vehicles. AVI scans for and detects automotive issues, improving fleet maintenance and reducing downtime for Delivery Service Partners (DSPs), as well as improving safety for their drivers and the communities they serve. AVI will be deployed in Amazon delivery stations in the U.S., Canada, Germany and the U.K. The system – which scans a vehicle in seconds as it drives through a tunnel of cameras and sensors – has been piloted at select Amazon delivery stations in the U.S. A study of the data shows that AVI finds more defects in hard-toinspect places such as damage to the vehicle undercarriage, or nails in the tire thread (35% of all issues stem from tires) than when that part of the inspection process was done manually. By automating part of the vehicle inspection process using computer vision and machine learning, AVI makes inspections faster, more accurate, systematic and objective. The data analysis also revealed that within weeks, the number of vehicle groundings dropped with improved maintenance of vehicles. “Three years ago, we set out to adapt our technology to the particular needs of Amazon,” said Amir Hever, Co-founder and CEO of UVeye, “Each new feature and improvement has brought us closer to where we are today and we are so proud of the system, which is now being scaled to administer tens of millions of inspections a year.” “After a successful pilot program, we’re looking forward to the deployment of AVI,” said Tom Chempananical, Global Fleet Director, Amazon Logistics, “There are over 100,000 Amazon-branded delivery vehicles on the road, bringing 20 million packages to our customers every day. With AVI, we can automate most of the inspection process at scale, to help reduce time spent on this task by DSPs and Delivery Associates, get packages to customers faster, while improving safety on the road.” UVeye is the world’s leading fully automated suite of vehicle inspection systems. The company’s AI-powered drive-thru systems can detect external or mechanical flaws and identify anomalies, modifications, or foreign objects under and around a vehicle within seconds. Uveye is installed at hundreds of dealerships, auction & fleet sites across the United States and around the world. In May 2023, the company announced a $100M series D, bringing its total funding to $200M. UVeye is backed by, and partners with, some of the largest car manufacturers in America.
