Manufacturing Facilities Security Challenges:
Theft, break-ins, and damage to property doesn't just create loss of inventory, but can also completely shut down operations, causing significant harm. For manufacturers, controlling access and having eyes on inventory and production lines is a must.
Note: Larger manufacturers may have independent structures for logistics and delivery that share a use case in common with the companies in our Logistics category if you just want to hone in on those use cases.
Manufacturing Facilities Operational Challenges:
From safety and compliance to quality control, manufacturers need to keep an eye on the line. But surveillance video isn't the only thing that needs to be monitored live. Manufacturers need to be able to, at a glance, observe both real world video evidence and service level monitoring, production statistics, machine health diagnostics information, or operational sensor outputs.
Don't worry, we've got you covered. If it can be displayed on a computer screen or digital television, we can integrate it.
(A SwiftSensors integration is shown in image, but we can do this for any application interface).

Layered Security
Good security has multiple layers that solve different and usually escalating needs. Different incidents have different levels of risk and more severe threats should trigger multiple systems.
Process Monitoring
- Cameras strategically placed to watch critical machinery in the manufacturing process.
- The blue zones indicate the views of strategically places fixed lens wide angle cameras.
Liability and Risk Reduction: Safety Check
- Suit up! Cameras placed in this zone help assure that all personnel are following property safety equipment protocols before entering the production line.
- The blue zone indicate the views of strategically places wide angle lens camera.
Unauthorized Access
- Electronic door locks and bluetooth readers allow you to control access to sensitive areas.
- Administrators can create groups based on job function. For example, office workers could only be given access to enter into their spaces, as seen on the image with the black readers, while production staff could be be given access to enter the manufacturing floor, as seen with the white readers. Meanwhile, management's credentials could bet setup to allow entry to either space.
Intrusion
- Cameras strategically placed in outdoors in areas with entry points, such as doors and windows, can alert your security teams to unwelcome individuals and unauthorized access.
- The blue zones indicate the views of strategically places fixed lens wide angle cameras.
- Long range camera are often also deployed to watch remote assets like gates, parking lots, or ancillary structures
Emergency
- Administrators can remotely lock down their institution in a variety of emergencies, including active shooter, natural disasters, and unsolicited visitor situations.
Network, Cyber, and Application Security
- Our platforms use encryption, inbound connection refusal, automatic software updates, and cloud-based management so your physical security devices are not compromising your cyber security initiatives.
- VPN, MFA, SOC/SIEM, and Endpoint management services also available.
