Enclosure hardware security issues. Published June 2017
In this white paper Andy Billingham discusses how new demands in the area of industrial security drive a continuous development process in tandem with new materials and production technologies. He suggests these demands may be most easily categorised as: very low level; general access limited and equipment protection needed; restricted access and equipment protection; higher risk or value; very high risk/value.
Specialist Enclosure locks, handles, hinges and gasket for HVAC panels. Published May 2017
The global HVAC industry is rapidly changing with a trend to natural refrigeration systems, although these still need controls and compartments. Such systems match the needs of a growing building industry worldwide including stores and offices with a parallel demand for large HVAC installations. This, together with constant upgrading of old systems with more efficient, lower energy equipment, means that the specialist hardware for HVAC packages is in increasing demand.
