Smart Sensing Security for Storage & Logistics with DAS and DTS

Security Begins Not with Locks, but with Advanced Sensing

Storage and logistics facilities are where goods wait, and risk can emerge from motion.
Locks and cameras may secure the perimeter—but by the time an alert sounds, the damage may already be done.

FOTAS DAS and DTS solutions developed by SAMM Teknoloji capture physical changes across thousands of points, analyzing them in real time and delivering alerts before problems escalate.

Where Movement Exists, Monitoring Must Go Deeper

Distribution sites are dynamic by nature—vehicles, personnel, and goods are constantly in motion.
This flow enables efficiency, but also increases the chance of unauthorized access, tampering, or internal risks.

DAS detects:

  • Digging or climbing along facility perimeters
  • Unusual movement of vehicles or personnel
  • Vibrations and structural impacts on floors and storage zones

All events are instantly located and categorized.

Thermal Assurance for Hazardous Storage with DTS

In facilities storing fuels, chemicals, or volatile liquids, danger doesn’t always come from the outside.
DTS monitors temperature variations in tank connectors, filling zones, cable trays, and control panels—detecting leaks, overheating, or equipment fatigue before visible signs appear.

These alerts protect not just stock, but also employees and the surrounding environment.

DTS and Cold Chain Continuity

In cold storage facilities used for food, medicine, or biological goods, even minor temperature shifts can lead to total product loss.
DTS provides:

  • Real-time thermal anomaly tracking
  • Early detection of cooling system degradation
  • Reliable documentation of temperature compliance

Application Areas

  • Distribution hubs and bonded storage sites
  • Flammable material and chemical storage
  • Liquid tank farms and filling zones
  • Cold chain infrastructure (food, pharma, biotech)
  • Pharmaceutical and medical inventory facilities

In these locations, even a brief delay in detection could result in significant financial loss.

FOTAS doesn’t just record—it interprets physical behavior and provides insight into what’s happening and why.
This transforms logistics infrastructure into a responsive layer that actively supports security and continuity.

With FOTAS, Logistics Doesn’t Pause

  • Real-time detection of intrusion and digging activity
  • DTS-based classification of thermal anomalies
  • Cold chain compliance with verified thermal tracking
  • Energy-free, passive fiber-based sensing
  • Full integration with Closed-Circuit TV (CCTV), Building Management Systems (BMS), and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) platforms

Stored Goods Are Investments—Storage Itself Is a Responsibility

Inventory is more than product—it’s capital at rest.
FOTAS is more than an alarm system—it’s an intelligent layer that understands, records, and responds.

To keep the logistics chain intact, it’s not enough to track what moves.
The infrastructure that holds it must be heard too.
