How can we ensure the safety of students and teachers at schools? How can modern technologies help with access control, crisis communication, and the prevention of risky situations?
In an interview for CNN Prima NEWS, Jan Orlický from IMA discussed the current challenges in school safety and how modern identification systems can contribute to the protection of so-called “soft targets,” such as schools.
Every day, we open thousands of doors for more than 100,000 students at Czech schools and universities. Our access control systems, attendance tracking, and smart lockers help improve the safety and operational efficiency of educational institutions.
Main topics of the interview:
✅ Access control as the cornerstone of school safety
✅ Effective crisis communication – why SMS may not be the ideal choice
✅ International inspiration – how are schools in the USA secured?
✅ The role of AI and smart technologies in monitoring safety
School Safety as a Priority
Security technologies for schools are not just about access control systems. We also offer attendance tracking systems (more here) and smart storage lockers (more here), which simplify the management of the school environment.
At the same time, we are contributing to increasing the resilience of critical infrastructure operations within the European SUNRISE project (more here).

School Safety: Jan Orlický on CNN Prima NEWS
On 27–28 November 2025, our colleague from the Telematics team and a PhD student at the Faculty of Transportation Sciences, CTU in Prague, Martin Fiala, participated in the international meeting of the A-IQ Ready project held in Porto, Portugal.
IMA s.r.o. is an active partner in this EU-funded project, which aims to advance knowledge in the field of quantum technologies and their application in security-related solutions.
As part of the project partners’ presentations, we introduced our compact FMCW radar embedded system, which, thanks to its modular design, can be easily installed on vehicles that are not equipped with their own safety systems.
This solution contributes to reducing collision risks in logistics centres, minimising property damage, and enhancing the safety of personnel.
