From estates to corporates: Securex South Africa offers tailored solutions

As Cape Town continues to expand with new infrastructure projects and smart city initiatives, security in the construction and built environment sector has become more critical than ever. From safeguarding high-rise developments to protecting workers and digital assets on connected building sites, Securex South Africa Cape Town will showcase tailored technologies for smart buildings and urban projects. Visitors can explore how AI-driven monitoring, cyber-secure access systems, and integrated dashboards are shaping the future of safer, more resilient cities and construction sites in the Western Cape.

“The Cape Town–Stellenbosch corridor is home to over 450 tech companies, employs more than 40,000 people in the sector, and produces 38% of South Africa’s software developers. With extensive open-access fibre, over 30 co-working hubs, and 22 accelerators, the city has built a foundation for integrating smart solutions across all industries - security included,” says Mark Anderson, portfolio director at Montgomery Group Africa.

Securex South Africa taps into this environment, offering visitors the chance to see:

• AI-enhanced surveillance platforms capable of recognising objects, reading number plates, and flagging suspicious behaviour in real time.
  
• Cloud-based access control for estates and corporates that need centralised, multi-site management.
  
• Integrated perimeter solutions combining physical barriers with live monitoring and predictive threat analytics.
  
• Cyber-secure management systems that protect both physical entry points and the data they generate.
  
• Customisable platforms linking security, safety, and facilities management into one operational dashboard.

Visitors will be able to speak to local and international suppliers about integrating these systems into their own environments. For instance, an estate manager could learn how to merge AI CCTV feeds with access control logs, allowing for instant cross-referencing in case of a breach. Retailers could explore customer flow monitoring tools that double as security analytics, while logistics managers might find IoT-enabled cargo seals that report tampering in real time.

Cross-sector benefits from the co-located shows

“With A-OSH EXPO, Facilities Management Expo, and Firexpo sharing the same floor, visitors can move seamlessly between security technologies, workplace safety solutions, building management innovations, and fire protection systems. This not only saves time but also enables more informed decision-making when selecting interconnected systems,” says Anderson.
