The production facility in Peterborough requires significant annual overhead and operating costs, which include the security of the site. The RNIB has, for some time, been considering ways in which it could operate more efficiently, and decided that a state of the art security system could help achieve this aim, which would also free up scarce funds to reinvest in the charity's core services.
The RNIB selected ICTS (UK) to install a comprehensive, reliable, security system which would enable savings to be made to its Peterborough site security budget through the reduction of its manned guarding requirements. The ICTS solution was successful for two key reasons. Firstly, due to the cost savings the solution offered the RNIB. Secondly, because of ICTS's comprehensive understanding of the key requirements needed to deliver such an important project. With over 25 years experience within the security industry, ICTS had the technical experience and proven track record, to enable it to fully match the specifications and requirements of both the RNIB and its insurers.
Honeywell's intruder alarm system was selected by ICTS as the ideal control panel solution. This not only provided the RNIB with significant cost savings over its current security system, but also delivered a versatile and scalable security solution. The system installed to protect the Peterborough facility comprises the control panel.
