The Challenge
Intense industrial activity — constant human, vehicle and machinery movement plus high vibration and noise from production, combined with heavy seasonal wind and rain — created significant environmental challenges for the system.
Case Study · Perimeter Security
Kaptan Demir Çelik Perimeter Security
The FOTAS Fiber Optic Sensing System secures the perimeter of one of Türkiye's leading steel production sites — delivering stable, high- accuracy detection even in a demanding heavy-industry environment.
Project Overview
Securing a Leading Steel Production Site
Kaptan Demir Çelik is one of Türkiye's leading iron and steel production facilities. To secure the production site, it has been equipped with the FOTAS Fiber Optic Sensing System.
The perimeter of the facility, approximately 7 km in length, is protected by FOTAS for continuous, uninterrupted monitoring of the site boundary.
DETECTION
Real-Time Detection Along a 7 km Perimeter
The system continuously analyzes the vibration and acoustic events occurring along the perimeter and detects the following events in real time, providing early warning to the security teams.
- Approaching the fence
- Fence climbing
- Fence cutting
- Unauthorized entry attempts
ENGINEERING CHALLENGE
Stable Performance in a Harsh Industrial Environment
A working steel plant is a demanding setting for perimeter sensing. Field analysis, system optimization and AI model improvements brought the environmental effects under control in a short time.
- High vibration & noise from production
- People, vehicle & machinery movement
- Strong seasonal winds
- Heavy rainfall in spring & winter
AI-Driven Optimization
Through on-site analyses, system optimizations and improvements to the AI model, these environmental effects were successfully managed in a short time.
Stable, High-Accuracy Detection
The system reached a stable level of performance, detecting genuine threats with high accuracy while keeping false alarms low.
