The platform enables remote control and real-time monitoring of the devices located in all 100+ branches

Aurum is one of the largest luxury jewellery chains in the UK, offering prestigious jewellery brands including Watches of Switzerland, Mappin & Webb and Goldsmiths. The chain operates 100+ stores throughout the UK.

The challenge

Aurum’s jewellery stores had experienced an increase in robberies during opening hours, which led to substantial losses. To combat these robberies, Aurum had security smoke manufacturer Concept Smoke Screen’s devices installed throughout their branches. The smoke generators work by flooding the window areas of the stores with huge amounts of smoke upon activation, blocking the jewellery from the robbers’ vision. Concept Smoke Screen required a flexible and fully integrated management solution to provide real-time visibility and status of all devices. The solution would have to enable Smoke Screen to remotely monitor all devices 24/7, and to remotely respond to an event involving the devices.

The solution

Concept Smoke Screen chose RISCO Group’s ProSYS Integrated Security System with SynopSYS Integrated Security & Building Management as the integrated solution that met all current and future requirements. The platform enables remote control and real-time monitoring of the devices located in all 100+ branches, each with its own structure and operating hours. The platform’s user-friendly interface with simple definitions allows for fast and simple project setup and operation.
