Russian Metal Processor Strengthens Operational and Access Control With Axxonsoft Platform

Mechanical plant 35 is a metal processing enterprise manufacturing metal constructions of any complexity. The plant chiefly produces equipment for gas production and transmission industries.

The plant which covers an area of 14 hectares is situated in the industrial center of Kaluga, Russia, at the city's major highway junction and has its own railway line. It employs more than 1000 staff.

Prior to the installation no video surveillance systems had been employed at its premises. The plant's management had therefore set forth a task to build a system that would provide centralized video monitoring at personnel and transport entry/exit checkpoints. The system was to track entries/exits of employees and automobile transport.

For these purposes, an Axxon Intellect Enterprise platform was set up comprising one video server, 3 outdoor and 2 indoor video cameras.

Thanks to the chosen solution the plant's security service was now able to react timely to contingencies emerging at the checkpoints and to later analyze them in detail by viewing Axxon Intellect Enterprise video archive records.

The management notes an improvement in staff's discipline at the entry/exit checkpoints and a decrease in the number of access control violations.
