Arteco Global continues on its success and expansion plans in South America. The globally renowned company in the production of Video Management Software and known for its ability to customise its offerings has announced opening a new office in Argentina for business development in Latin America, while continues to consider the region as an area of great expansion. After Mexico, with the operational office that also deals with Peru, Colombia and Chile, Arteco focuses on a market that has been growing constantly since 2011, with an annual average of +10%. Latin America expansion Andres specialised as a Business Intelligence/Data Analysis consultant Andres Quevedo has been named Business Developer of the Argentine office. He is also Systems Engineer from the National Technological University (UTN) of Argentina. He has served as professor of Artificial Intelligence at UCEMA. Andres started his career as a programmer and then specialised as a Business Intelligence/Data Analysis consultant, developing activities in Argentina and the United States. In this sphere, he concentrated on developing the business for IT companies specialised in vertical markets such as oil and gas, transportation, telecommunications, government, industry, among others. Video management systems, video analytics firm For the past 15 years, his business has focused on the world of electronic security, developing companies throughout the Latin American region, specialising in video management systems, video analytics, and comprehensive security systems. "Arteco is a new and interesting challenge. In Argentina, we will work to put Arteco on the list of the biggest names in security," said Quevedo, adding "Arteco is a team that is achieving excellent results throughout the world. Even in Latin America, Together with my colleagues from Mexico, we are confident that we can achieve important objectives.” Giampaolo Sabbatani, CEO of Arteco Global, states "Argentina is for us a new outpost in the vast South American market, which is highly articulated, but also very promising. In Argentina, the growth of the security market has been constant in recent years and Italy is among the countries that have a privileged channel for exports also in our industrial sector. The challenge is great, but we accept it."

Arteco keeps pursuing its global expansion strategy and, after the USA, South Africa and Mexico, is now aiming for the Southeast Asia and Pacific region by signing a representation agreement with YEM International for the management of the export activities in the Asia Pacific Area. Arteco expands to Southeast Asia region The big economic powers are pushing this growth of the sector with infrastructural projects “It is a wise and far-sighted choice”, affirms Giampaolo Sabbatani, CEO of Arteco Global. “Let’s look at the recent records of the APAC area: in 2018, security market in that region registered revenue of $26.3 billion in 2018, and is expected to register a CAGR of 14.3% during 2019-2024, when it is expected to hit $57.9 billion”. The big economic powers are pushing this growth of the sector with infrastructural projects (India alone is going to build 100 airports) and a strong focus on the development of smart cities. Video management solutions expert “The future is bright, despite the strong competition we will have to face” underlines Mario Ali, Regional Sales Director for Critical Infrastructure Protection & Video Analytics of YEM, that from the branch in Singapore will deal with Arteco export in the region. “We all know the giants of the industry, but VMS is the widest battle field, where quality makes the difference”. Despite the biggest competitors of the western tech companies are exactly from the APAC area, the extensive Asian markets have room for companies that can leverage their quality to create fruitful business opportunities. For this reason, Arteco chose YEM International, the company guided by Franco Pesci, to make a further step on the path of the international expansion.

Arteco’s VCA video analytics system is their latest new product, signalling a move from machine vision-based analytics to deep learning video analytics. A server – separate from the Arteco video management system (VMS) – manages the algorithms for the analytics. Arteco has been field-testing the product for a year and a half and had planned to launch it officially at ISC West in March (which was postponed). In lieu of the trade show launch, the company has been presenting the product (along with partners) through a series of webinars. The deep learning video analytics product operates out of the box – “just turn it on,” says Steve Birkmeier, Arteco VP of Sales. Functionality is based on “training” of pre-classified objects, such as differentiating between a person, an animal, a vehicle, or just clutter. The deep learning library focuses on people and vehicles. Detection and identification The new system detects everything in the field of view The new system detects everything in the field of view and only identifies what the operator is looking for, thus reducing false alarms. Any identified object is provided with an accuracy reading (e.g., 92% confident it is a human.) The system can be set up from the graphical user interface (GUI). Arteco VCA (video content analysis) also uses analytics rules, such as “if A+B=C, then do D.” Therefore, an abandoned object may elicit a different response than a violated area. With roots in the industrial automation market of the early-2000s, Arteco offers an event-based video management system (VMS) platform. That is, their emphasis is on identifying and providing video at the moment something happens rather than managing a vast amount of video that shows, in effect, nothing of interest. Arteco’s system, providing functionality expected in a full-featured VMS, is designed around the need to react to exceptions and events. Video verification “We can pull in events from any type of system and provide the related video,” says Steve Birkmeier, Arteco VP of Sales. “It can be access control, fire, intrusion, perimeter security, radar or microwave barriers, vape sensors, license plate recognition, or whatever.” An open connector, xml framework enables Arteco to interface with other systems and provide video verification of events. In addition to a focus on event-based video, Arteco also emphasises ease of use, building on their 20-year history with video analytics. Another point of differentiation is their open architecture that easily and repeatably enables incorporation of third-party “events.” Finally, Arteco’s systems are competitively priced (less expensive), including flexible pricing and licensing structure to maximise value for a customer.  In addition to security, there are multiple operational applications that use video verification In addition to security, there are multiple operational applications that use video verification. For example, integration with warehouse management software using metadata from warehouse surveillance video can provide a searchable database. An operator can enter a purchase order number, for instance, and the system provides video associated with that sale.  The role of video in physical security Arteco has traditionally been a strong player in the utilities vertical, where event-based video management is useful to keep watch on high-value assets located in remote areas with little physical security. Another strong vertical is car dealerships in the United States, including security and loss prevention applications as well as integration with fleet management (using RFID and/or license plate reading). Arteco’s heat mapping capabilities can help a car dealer analyse customer activity to guide merchandising decisions, in the same way a retail store might. Big-box stores are another application for Arteco’s combination of marketing analytics, security and loss prevention.  Arteco’s strength is also proving useful in the emerging, highly regulated cannabis industry. State regulations require that each marijuana plant be tagged, and systems are required to provide total chain of custody records from “seed to sale.” In the case of Arteco, video associated with a specific plant tag is available at each stage of growth, production and sale. Coronavirus and video management The analytics can detect when people are grouped together closer than 2 meters As an Italian company, Arteco has already applied its deep-learning VCA product at city centers in Italy, which was hard hit by the novel coronavirus. The analytics can detect when people are grouped together closer than 2 meters, for example, and can provide an alarm if social distancing requirements related to the coronavirus are not being observed. The system can also detect and confirm the use of face masks at an entrance. Tracking that number – the percentage of customers who comply – in real time might offer additional peace of mind for high-risk customers entering a store, for example. Birkmeier contends the world has been changed forever by the pandemic, although acceptance over time of new technologies being introduced will vary greatly by geographic location. Already, in the last decade or so, acceptance of video surveillance has been greater, even in the U.S. market, he says. ”More often you hear ‘why don’t you have cameras’ rather than ‘I don’t like these camera here,’” he comments.
