Electronic Security Expo has announced the winners of its 2022 ESX Innovation Awards. Each year the program aims to distinguish innovation and excellence in the industry, as well as identify the next-gen products and services that will offer significant opportunities for growth for security integrator companies.
The products and services were selected by an independent panel of judges based on a specific set of criteria including ingenuity, applicability, response to market need and more.
The 2022 ESX Innovation Awards judging panel, led by Mark Reimer of ADT, also included Michele Monheim, customer service manager of Amherst Alarm; Rodger Reiswig, fellow and vice president, industry relations, Global Fire Detection Products of Johnson Controls; and Eric Widner, general manager of LOUD Security.
“We are proud to highlight next-gen products and services that create new opportunities for security professionals to offer their end users,” said ESX Chairman George De Marco. “In addition, these winners offer innovative solutions for companies looking to effectively grow their revenues, improve the customer experience and maximize their profits.”
