Safeguarding Heritage, Securing Legacies.
At HAHN ID, we pride ourselves on being the connective force in museum endeavors, excelling in consultancy, conceptualization, and project management. Rather than developing proprietary products, we leverage an extensive network of trusted partners and suppliers to provide comprehensive solutions.
Our core competency lies in understanding the intricate demands of museum environments, particularly the crucial aspects of security. HAHN ID serves as the linchpin that coordinates these security-relevant facets with a deep appreciation for the unique requirements of each museum project.
The concept is based on three central pillars that together ensure a holistic approach: protection against theft and vandalism, protection against harmful environmental influences and the expertise of an interdisciplinary team of specialists and engineers. Here's a breakdown of the key components within each pillar.
1. Interdisciplinary Team of Specialists:
- Coverage of all relevant project phases.
- Design: Creating a tailored security and protection plan based on the specific needs of the exhibits.
- Planning: Developing detailed plans for the implementation of physical and electronic security measures.
- Realization: Executing the plans, including the installation of security systems and environmental controls.
- Operation: training, after-sales service, maintenance and servicing.
2. Protection Against Theft and Vandalism:
- Physical Security:
- Display Cases: Security, Scenography, and Controlled Microclimate.
- Protective Glazing: Transparent glass structures and specialized security glass enhancing exhibition safety and preventing damage.
- Deposit Cabinets: Security-protected storage units for items not currently on display.
- Electronic Security:
- Wireless Sensors: These sensors may include motion detectors, breakage sensors, or other devices that can detect unauthorized movement or tampering.
- Proximity Detection: Systems that trigger alerts when someone gets too close to the protected exhibits.
- Alarm System: An integrated alarm system that can alert security personnel or authorities in the event of a security breach.
3. Protection Against Harmful Environmental Influences:
- Protective Atmosphere:
- This involves creating a controlled atmosphere with specific gases to prevent deterioration or chemical reactions that could harm the exhibits, as well as protection against harmful exposure to light.
- Air Filters:
- Filtration systems to remove dust, pollutants, and other particulate matter from the air to maintain a clean environment.
- Air Conditioning Units:
- Climate control systems that regulate temperature and humidity to optimal levels for preserving the integrity of the artworks.
- Climate Monitoring:
- Sensors and monitoring systems to continuously document and track temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors to ensure they remain within safe ranges.
