Challenges

At this location, Makita stock and distribute batteries for cordless tools plus run wholesale supply logistics from their warehouse. At a facility like this, simplicity and clarity for both security managers and daily site users were essential.

• User-friendly software to control and filter employee or visitor access to specific areas of the plant
