Vertical Solutions: WinGuard is used everywhere

"Our aim is to work with the latest security technology. We were convinced that the WinGuard management system from Advancis would offer us a modern and open PSIM platform. This expectation was fulfilled. Due to its open architecture, WinGuard offers many perspectives when selecting new suppliers for security products and for the integration of additional sites into our existing security concept. For us, WinGuard is the tool we need to manage all security-related activities and we cannot imagine our daily business without it."

“In addition to our production site for combine harvesters and self-propelled forage harvesters, our headquarters Harsewinkel also accomodate an exhibition center including a museum, a cinema as well as a shop. Furthermore, we offer factory tours for visitors. Therefore we considered it important to be able to control all installed security and building management systems via one unified and clear platform. WinGuard by Advancis is vendor-neutral so that new subsystems can be integrated anytime. The software initiates automatic actions and provides guided instructions to the responsible personnel. This offers optimum support to our control center employees, both in case of events, but also for daily operation tasks, for example with regard to maintenance tasks.“

The Security National Center (C.N.S.) of Auchan Portugal is a Control Center with the purpose to centralize all services and security commands in one place, integrating the various activities of the company: Hypermarkets, Petrol Stations, Logistics Platform and Production Units. WinGuard allowed us to develop a robust solution leading to cost optimization and to an active prevention of hazardous situations. The event detection process and the quality of our security services have been optimized, focused on innovation, integration and interoperability.

"It was our intention to continue working with different manufacturers of technical security and building management system in order to always remain independent. Therefore, WinGuard as a vendor-neutral Physical Security Information Management System offered the optimal solution, as it integrates the comprehensive infrastructure of our location. In addition, the available communication and incident management systems are linked as well, which is important for both a quick event processing in case of emergency as well as for daily operation of an industrial plant. The high availability of WinGuard as well as its comprehensive reporting functions are further decisive advantages."

"In our widespread industrial plants there are numerous security, building and communications technologies installed. We determined that the implementation of a Physical Security Information Management System would offer our personnel optimal and efficient system control. WinGuard provides our operators with guided step by step instructions to ensure that they follow the correct action plan for each emergency and incident.
