Drones in use: Leag protects Lausitz facilities from thieves!
The energy supplier Leag in Lusatia is at the forefront of an innovative security initiative. Today at 12 p.m., the company is presenting a new measure that includes the use of drones and artificial intelligence (AI) to protect its industrial facilities. This move is in response to repeated incidents of theft and vandalism, particularly of copper and diesel, recorded on the premises. In the past, coal opponents have also invaded the opencast mine in protest and occupied excavators.
The drones should be able to fly independently over the company premises and detect potential threats at an early stage. This could mean a revolution in security surveillance, as drones are increasingly used in property protection to efficiently monitor large areas and provide real-time images, such as adu-sicherheit.de reported.
Technology and security in focus
Modern security concepts require the integration of advanced technologies to protect against physical and digital threats. Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in this. AI-driven surveillance systems are capable of detecting unusual movement patterns and suspicious activities in real-time. They also analyze large amounts of safety data and can identify patterns that are often missed by human eyes.
Drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras can identify people or vehicles even in poor visibility conditions. You can conduct automated patrols and act as a first responder after an incident. These technologies form a solid foundation for protecting Leag sites and help increase security.
Networking through the Internet of Things
Another aspect that is revolutionizing the security landscape is the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT systems improve security by connecting sensors, cameras and devices, allowing security data to be collected and analyzed in real time. This enables early detection of threats and increases the speed of reaction of security forces.
In addition, the future of security could offer additional technologies, such as autonomous robots and augmented reality (AR) glasses, which are integrated into property protection. Adaptive AI systems that learn from experience and adapt to new situations could represent a new dimension in security. Cloud technologies could also enable central monitoring and control of security systems.
Leag’s initiative to implement drones and AI is an outstanding example of how today’s companies are turning to innovative technologies to increase the security of their assets and proactively address potential threats. The combination of drones, AI and IoT could not only increase Leag's level of security, but also serve as a model for other companies facing similar challenges.
