Boon Edam Inc., a globally renowned manufacturer of secured entry solutions, continues to reinforce its position as the preeminent provider of secured entry solutions for the logistics industry with thousands of successful deployments around the globe.
Boon Edam’s comprehensive lineup of secured entry solutions is proven to be effective in preventing unauthorised access to high-security areas, mitigating theft and liabilities, while maintaining compliance, and reducing costs related to supervised labour, energy conservation, and more.
Logistical threats and challenges
“Today’s logistics and distribution enterprises face numerous threats and challenges ranging from supply chain and labour shortages to regulatory mandates and loss prevention,” said Mark Perkins, Vice President - Strategic Markets Development, Boon Edam.
He adds, “Our portfolio of secured entry solutions is designed to address these threats with meticulously designed entry and egress solutions that establish high levels of physical security and optimise employee time and labour resources.”
Security Entrances
Most logistics facilities opt for a layered secured entry solution that begins at the perimeter
Boon Edam Security Entrances provide the strongest-possible physical security measures to help mitigate lost revenues and profits resulting from shrinkage caused by insider threats, external operators, and employee collusion.
Most logistics facilities opt for a layered secured entry solution that begins at the perimeter where two-way full-height turnstiles equipped with access control and anti-tailgating technology actively prevent unauthorised entry.
One-way inbound turnstiles
As employees enter, they divest their personal belongings into lockers and proceed through a metal detector attached to one-way inbound full-height turnstiles equipped with access control, tailgating prevention, and weapons detection screening.
When exiting a facility, employees approach an array of two waist-high turnstiles: one turnstile leads to an exit, and the other to a search/pat down area with a guard. Both a deterrent and a preventive solution, this randomised exit solution can help put an end to shrinkage due to employee theft.
Preventive entry/exit solutions
The workflow outlined above is one of several different combinations of preventive entry/exit solutions that help reduce shrinkage, allowing security personnel to focus on other potential penetration points such as loading docks or waste disposal areas.
By reducing, or even eliminating, much of the physical labour required to sustain manual loss prevention processes, Boon Edam Secured Entry Solutions delivers tangible results and cost savings. In most cases, a Boon Edam tailgating and piggybacking prevention design will net ROI in less than eight months from deployment in facilities that operate 24/7/365.
Layered secured entry solutions
Boon Edam’s Secured Entry Solutions are not just built for current immediate challenges, but also for emerging trends and business models. As retail superstores slowly integrate with fulfillment centres, the need for more robust security and loss prevention safeguards becomes even more critical.
Boon Edam’s unique, field-proven strategy of layered secured entry solutions and security workflow strategies are ideal for these specialised environments where the separation of public and private entities is essential.
