” Middle East’s first luxury yachting hub benefits from advanced facilities management solution ”

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, 12 AUGUST 2020 – The Middle East’s largest hub for the international yachting community, the new Dubai Marina, has selected Maxxess eFusion technology for seamless integration of security and fire systems.

Opening in September, the marina and cruise terminal is phase one of what will be the region’s new jewel-in-the-crown yachting and maritime centre. Managed in partnership between Dubai Holding, Meraas and D-Marin, the marina will enhance Dubai’s position as a magnet for major holiday and luxury marine tourism. It will initially provide berths for 800 yachts and be a hub a wide range supporting sectors, from insurance companies, ships chandlery and maritime services through to a variety of restaurants and retail outlets.

eFusion provides feature rich access control and allows seamless integration with video surveillance, fire system and site-specific applications and hardware. Specialist security systems integrator Forceis specified eFusion for the multi-phase Dubai Marina project because of its transparent pricing structures and flexibility. It enables rapid integration off-the-shelf, plus the ability to mix and match the world leading security and safety brands, and business-critical technologies. eFusion’s modular, building block approach provides an umbrella management system and drives service efficiency by providing a single unified facilities management interface removing the need for operators to continually switch between systems.

Phase one of the project encompasses the integration of a mixture of over 800 Hanwha Techwin 2MP domes and bullets, as well as powerful PTZs with exceptional 55x zoom capabilities which are particularly suited to the marine environment thanks to optical defog technology, IR up to 500 metres, and a suite of license-free intelligent video analytics.

Bi-directional integration with Hanwha Techwin’s Wisenet SMM video management software (VMS) will provide instant video pop ups of all access events within the eFusion interface, allowing immediate visual verification and the ability to initiate a rapid and appropriate response. Events will also be pre-set to record, enabling fast retrieval of video footage and a complete audit trail of incidents and suspicious activity.

The marina security team will also benefit from using the eFusion guard module, which supports officers in a variety of situations. The module enables site patrols to be configured, operated, and managed with check-list verifications. Each patrol can be assigned its own unique identity, stopped, or started from any checkpoint, and managed with a complete visual and transactional audit trail.

“For this high-profile project, we had to be confident of meeting the most stringent standards of security and safety. Maxxess eFusion allows us to do that,” says Dr. Mohammed Alketbi, Forceis Managing Director. “At the same time, it will make it easy for us to extend our solution through future phases, to deliver the smooth and efficient operational services which are vital in the luxury tourism sector and will ensure that Dubai continues to deliver world-leading and exceptional visitor experiences.”

“By allowing users to quickly integrate the latest security, safety, and site management technologies, eFusion makes it easy to adapt to changing risk profiles and operational priorities. And most importantly, it removes the complexity from the multiple systems that need to be managed” says Lee Copland, Managing Director EMEA, Maxxess. “This landmark project cements Maxxess eFusion position as a top choice for heads of security, facilities and operations management in the ever expanding hospitality sector, which continues strengthen Dubai’s position as one of the world’s most progressive hubs for international business and tourism.”
