SitAwS-VS Situational Awareness System - Volumetric Security
SitAwS-VS
With its SitAwS-VS system, LFT offers a high-performance security solution designed to secure even the most complex facilities—such as industrial plants, building complexes, and large areas like airports or military installations—against unauthorized intrusions by combining LiDAR sensors, cameras, and, if necessary, radar. The scope of SitAwS-VS is significantly broader than that of conventional Perimeter Intrusion Detection (PID) systems.
Functions - Key Features
Complete overview of entire sites and areas through a digital twin
Detailed 3D map for spatial orientation of the operator
Spatial planning of LiDAR and camera positions for optimal performance
Definition of areas of interest with tailored alarm rules
Volumetric detection for continuous monitoring of entire spaces – real-time tracking of moving objects
Automatic control of cameras to alarm-triggering locations
Fusion of multimodal functional chains – integration of radar into the sensor system
Functional system safety according to machinery standards
Safety integrity in compliance with ISO 13849 – PL d
Performance Level d (≥ 10^-7 PFH to < 10^-6)
Continuous sensor self-testing
Enhanced perception model for critical environmental conditions ensuring reliable operation in heavy rain, snow, sand, dust, or fog (filtering)
Seamless integration with other security systems for unified response
API for integration with PSIM and VMS platforms
Benefits
Conventional PID security systems are typically limited to monitoring the boundaries of an area, often in combination with static video surveillance.
SitAwS-VS enables high-performance security through its volumetric detection, which provides complete spatial coverage of both complex and large-scale areas. When a monitored area is breached, the system triggers an alarm and visualizes the number of intruding objects/persons, their exact positions, sizes, movement speeds, and trajectories on a 3D map.
Additionally, it automatically controls PTZ cameras to highlight and track these targets, giving security personnel a comprehensive situational overview and awareness in real time.
Unique Selling Points:
- Virtual planning/testing of sensor and camera positions and performance before system commissioning
- All-weather LiDAR object detection with weather filtering and artifact removal
- Volumetric object detection (LiDAR-based) and detailed alarm visualization within a multi-layered 3D situational representation (fully fused surveillance cameras with a digital twin) with automatic alignment of the nearest cameras to detected objects; AI-based signal processing for control
- Sensor operation secured in compliance with ISO 13849 Performance Level d
- Complete site and area overview through a digital twin. Thanks to the concept of multi-layered 3D situational representation, unrestricted spatial object detection (all six degrees of freedom) is achieved—no longer limited to static boundary lines of an area.
