Incedo^™ offers Makita a single solution for multiple security challenges

Challenges

Makita, one of the worlds leading manufacturers of cordless, electric and garden tools, has opened a completely new headquarters in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia. 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. They demanded a single, intuitive system to control every access point — now and in the future.

Requirements

∙ A comprehensive range of devices to secure fire/escape doors, entrances and interior doors.

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

∙ Easy, cost-efficient installation for both hardware and software elements of the solution.

∙ A system able to scale up or down as the facility’s security needs or space usage changes over time.
