Moveable wall system

Door supplier Dorma has developed a movable wall system called Moveo that combines the ability to create flexible space with good sound insulation. Dorma says it is 50% lighter than conventional movable walls because of its compact construction and use of reinforced fibreglass composite board for the outer skin. It is intended for hotels, leisure amenities and exhibition walls. The company says that Moveo's control system ensures that the partition seals automatically extend every time the system is used, which enhances sound insulation.

Digital security provider DigiSys has launched a surveillance system that uses what it describes as artificial intelligence technology to digitally analyse live CCTV footage for movement. The company claims that the DigiSys IQ is the first surveillance software in Europe to use Non Motion Detection technology. This enables it to detect objects placed in or removed from busy areas, regardless of constant movement in the camera's field of vision. The software is said to be ideal for busy venues such as retail parks, leisure centres and airports.

Soft, acoustic Wembley

Hodgson & Hodgson Group has supplied its TufSound acoustic panels for the main four internal walls of London's Wembley Arena. The company says that TufSound, which is made from expanded galvanized steel mesh with a sound-absorbing mineral wool infill, was specified because the panels absorb airborne noise and reduce reverberation. This provides a softer acoustic environment. The panels can be colour co-ordinated as part of the overall interior design.
