Recycling centres

Reduce fire risks, manage vehicle movements and protect your recycling facility's connected systems.

Fire detection Vehicles Cybersecurity

Address the specific risks of recycling facilities

Recycling, sorting and waste recovery sites must manage flammable materials, frequent vehicle movements, technical equipment and large operational areas. Protectas Technology helps design electronic security solutions suited to these demanding conditions.

Identify potential fires with thermal cameras

At material storage and processing sites, abnormal heating may be an early warning of fire. Thermal imaging can detect hot spots before flames become visible and support continuous observation of risk-prone areas.

Different zones can be assigned appropriate temperature thresholds. Depending on the configuration, thermal alerts may be combined with video verification and professional alarm handling to support a timely response.

Note: Protectas Technology does not install fire detection systems subject to VKF regulations. However, complementary solutions not subject to these requirements may be offered depending on the specific needs.

Benefits of thermal detection

Early identification of temperature anomalies
Configurable zones and alert thresholds
Integration options with existing surveillance
Fast notification to support preventive action

Camera identifying vehicles at a recycling site

Monitor vehicle entries and exits

Waste treatment facilities receive trucks, contractors and transport operators throughout the day. CCTV combined with automatic number plate recognition can help identify vehicles and record movement at controlled entrances.

Where integrations are available, camera information can be linked to weighing or operating data. This can support incident review, traceability and more effective on-site traffic procedures.

Benefits of vehicle monitoring

Traceability of arrivals and departures
Identification using number plate recognition
Potential links to weighbridge records
Video evidence for incident review

Protect connected security systems and data

Video surveillance, access control and alarm systems increasingly depend on connected technology. Digital protection helps reduce risks such as unauthorised access, data loss and disruption to site operations.

Network segmentation, controlled remote access, security updates and encrypted data exchanges can improve resilience where supported by the installed products. Measures should be coordinated with the facility's IT team.
