The fragmented nature of the security and safety equipment market has brought manufacturers, integrators and other market players together to drive the need for integrated, interoperable systems. As a global distributor of Network and Security Solutions, Anixter Inc. has joined the Open Security & Safety Alliance, a new partnership of global security, safety and building automation organisations, to help develop a framework of common standards, best practices and specifications that address shared challenges and provide common ground for innovation.
“Across all segments of our business, our customers are demanding technologies that empower their connected buildings and smart spaces,” said Anixter’s CEO Bill Galvin. “These transformative environments have increased in scale and complexity with the rapid adoption of IoT and open architectures.” Galvin continued, “We believe the Alliance will play an integral role in propelling the security, safety and building automation industries to help our customers drive innovation and operational efficiency.”
