MONTVALE, N.J., Sept. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharp
Robotics Business Development (SRBD), a division of Sharp
Electronics Corporation (SEC), announced the appointment of PSA
Security Network as an authorized distributor of the Sharp
INTELLOS™ Automated Unmanned Ground Vehicle (A-UGV).
Introduced to consumers of security technologies and human guard
services by Sharp one year ago at the ASIS International 2016
security exhibition in Orlando,
Florida, the Sharp INTELLOS A-UGV is a cost-effective,
multi-terrain, mobile sensor platform that can capture video, audio
and environmental data, while providing a visible deterrent. The
data provided by the Sharp INTELLOS A-UGV can enhance outdoor
surveillance, security, safety and maintenance inspections, which
help organizations meet the challenges of an ever-changing security
landscape by augmenting a skilled guard force.
"PSA's network of security integrators has a stellar reputation
for vetting emerging technologies and staying educated on the next
great opportunities for the industry," shared Cliff Quiroga, Vice President of SRBD.
"Prior to the launch of the Sharp INTELLOS A-UGV, PSA has been a
resource for product development input. Further, PSA's
progressive thinking about autonomous robotics for security was
evident when they joined with Sharp in the sponsorship of
Robolliance and played host to the forum's announcement in May
2016. It's a natural progression that the PSA Security
Network would be our first authorized distributor."
Bill Bozeman, CPP, President and
CEO of PSA Security Network, added, "We believe that security
robotics is set to change the course of the security industry as we
know it today. We are pleased to affiliate with Sharp and be the
first distributor helping to make robotic applications a reality to
systems integrators."
Another shared value between Sharp and PSA is their focus on
education. Robolliance is but one example of driving
awareness about future end-user solutions and profit opportunities
for the reseller channel. Both organizations have curriculum
tailored to driving understanding, engagement and sales
success. "Today's emerging technology is complex. To
optimize knowledge-share, training material should be delivered in
digestible, interactive ways," stated Cliff
Quiroga. "We are pleased that this too is meaningful
to PSA and part of their mission."
