Art Security Systems
Wavetrend’s Active RFID technology offers continuous, real-time, automated tracking of art and antiquities in environments such as galleries, museums, office buildings and for private collections
At Wavetrend we collaborate closely with partners who are specialists in the protection of art to ensure that our technology meets the most stringent security and monitoring requirements.
Our technology enables real time protection for art against theft, damage, and dangerous environmental change. Key benefits are:
- 24/7 monitoring of art and antiquities against attempted theft, contact, accidental damage, and changes in local temperature and relative humidity
- fully automated real time audit of all artworks or assets
- regular “heartbeats” giving confidence of proper system operation
- sophisticated sensors that can tell the difference between attempted theft and background vibration to all but eliminate false alarms
- Tags in a range of form factors specifically designed for purpose. Low profile Tags for discrete installation onto paintings, together with other enclosures suitable for sculpture, display cases, tapestries etc
- security for artworks even when off the wall, moving into or from storage, or during a fit-out
- the ability to move artworks quickly in case of fire or flood as no security fixings are required.
“Since 2000, Fortecho Solutions and Wavetrend have worked together closely on the design and provision of Active RFID hardware. Wavetrend ensures that the tens of thousands of units we supply to the art sector meet and exceed the highest of expectations.”
