Manufacturing Company Requires Integrated Intrusion/Access
Echo Inc., a manufacturer of landscaping equipment for both the commercial and residential homeowner markets recently expanded its facilities and locations. Its two locations expanded to more than 35 acres with facilities spanning a total of 540,000 square feet. The company was in need of a cost-effective, convenient and easy-to-use solution that would enhance the security of these two independently-operated facilities. Echo also desired a solution that would integrate access control and intrusion detection capabilities.
With this in mind, Echo standardized on the Bosch D9412 G Series Control Panels for intrusion detection at both facilities. The control panels are integrated with a card-based access control system, enabling employees to arm and disarm select areas of the facilities using their company identification badges. With this design, Echo employees only need to interface with one system instead of two.
