 Tata
Honeywell Limited (THL), the industrial
security and automation major, has entered
the home and small commercial establishment
security market with the launch of its Total
Security Solutions.
The Total Security Solutions from Tata Honeywell
consists of a suite of globally tested and
accepted sensors, control panels, signaling
devices, panic switches and auto dialers.
These devices along with Tata Honeywell's
expert consultancy will now help make homes
and small commercial establishments safe
from mishaps involving burglary, gas leaks,
fires or sudden medical emergencies.
With this move, Tata Honeywell, the 13-year
old joint venture company between Tata Industries
and Honeywell International is, for the
first time, foraying beyond the industrial
segment in India. The US-based Honeywell,
however, is the global leader in home &
building automation and security business
and the market leader in almost each of
the 95 countries where it operates.
 According
to Mr Harsh Chitale, Head, Corporate
Strategy & Business Development, Tata
Honeywell Limited, the introduction of the
Total Security Solutions for homes and small
business establishments, will equip them
to address the entire gamut of security
needs in the domestic, industrial and commercial
sectors in the country and help them make
people's lives safer and more secure.
The Total Security Solutions are targeted
at home owners, high net worth individuals,
housing societies, and commercial establishments
such as banks, factories, hotels, departmental
stores, shops and jewelry shops.
 The
Total security systems market consists of
intrusion detection devices, surveillance
systems such as video door phones and close
circuit televisions, fire and smoke alarm
systems, and access control systems. Tata
Honeywell has already introduced its intrusion
detection devices. These include the complete
range of sensors like Magnetic Contacts,
Motion Detectors, Glass Break Detectors,
LPG Gas Leak detectors, Smoke detectors,
Panic switches, Control Panels and signaling
devices like sirens, hooters, strobe lights
and auto dialers. THL will soon be introducing
its surveillance systems; fire and smoke
alarm systems and access control systems.
According to S Shankar, Head, Total Security
Solutions, Tata Honeywell Limited, these
products are being manufactured for the
first time in the country on an all-India
basis. The companies main thrust is on world
class technology, at a very affordable Indian
price.
Mr. Shankar further stated that the Total
Security Solutions division of Tata Honeywell,
would not only provide the best of international
products, but came with the added advantage
of years of experience and expertise in
security consultancy. "Every building
has a specific security need and we help
in assessing that need and finding the best
possible solution for it. Our Total Security
Solutions are easy to operate, value driven
and highly effective. We believe these will
help people take control of their own security
needs like never before," he elucidated.
The
company has launched these products 8 to
10 months ago and has received a very positive
response from the market. The company has
70 channel partners in 41 select cities.
The company has also appointed 100 salesmen
in eight focus cities. These salesmen will
be selling the Security Solution Products
door to door.
Mr Shankar, said that the aim of the whole
exercise, is to create more security awareness
among the common man. The company is not
resting on its laurels yet; they are in
the process of appointing retailers in Mumbai
and Pune. The company is now in the process
of allowing its channel partners to appoint
their own retailers.
 Tata
Honeywell has recently tied up with Group
4 Securitas, a premier security service
agency, to form a new company called Central
Monitoring Service India Pvt. Ltd. (CMSIPL),
which will provide round the clock monitoring,
and response service in the home and commercial
segments across six Indian cities. This
service has been launched in Delhi, Mumbai
and Pune at present. The service will provide
not only monitoring of security for homes
and commercial establishments but a response
team that will provide necessary help in
case of any kind of emergency. A customer
who avails of this service, on payment of
a monthly fee, will get a choice of service.
The three kind of services that the company
will provide are 24 hrs Monitoring only,
24 hrs Monitoring and Response in the Night
only (9PM to 6AM) and 24 hrs Monitoring
and Response.
