To integrate its security, access control and fire safety systems and provide the most rapid of response times, leading producer of spray finishing technology, Finishing Brands UK is using TDSi's controllers and access software, installed by security expert Onetec.
Finishing Brands UK, based in Bournemouth, Dorset, is using the powerful integration ability of TDSi's access software and highly reliable and user-friendly access controllers to provide a secure building services solution, protecting the firm's manufacturing and Research and Development facilities from intruders and the threat of fire.
Reflecting on the completion of the project, Dave Feast, Director at Onetec commented, "Finishing brands UK has a reputation for excellence and its state-of-art facility in Bournemouth requires a modern, highly organized and efficient security, access control and integrated building services system to protect its people and investments. Having carefully surveyed the site we recommended the company use TDSi's controllers for controlling doors and access software to oversee the site's full security network."
Onetec's installation encompasses 20 doors at the site and caters for 300 authorized users who use TDSi proximity mullion readers to gain entry. With excellent reliability and a reading range of up to 150mm, TDSi readers are highly reliable and make it simple for permitted staff to move easily around the building, whilst being vandal resistant to frustrate any attempts at vandalism or unapproved entry.
To offer a cost-effective installation process, Onetec installed TDSi access software on Finishing Brand UK's existing IT system, using a virtual server setup. This means the security system is still kept safely separate from the rest of the company's IT storage, but didn't require the installation of additional unnecessary IT hardware. The installation also includes TDSi access controllers which are ideal for the application, as Dave Feast explained, TDSi controllers offer a powerful, user-friendly and cost-effective way to remotely control doorway access via either a WAN or LAN connection. They are also straightforward to install, being commissioned through a TCP/IP port and are fully integrated with access software for constant monitoring at a central point which means doors can be sealed or opened either to deal with an intrusion or to protect occupants in the event of a fire or other emergency situation.
