Boon Edam
Boon Edam leads the industry in providing high-quality revolving doors, high-security entrances, and speed gates to customers worldwide. As a third-generation Dutch family business, they take pride in their deep knowledge and unwavering dedication to this specialized market. They are now approaching their 150th birthday, a momentous occasion celebrating a rich history of growth, perseverance, and success.
The Challenge
To modernize the Boon Edam Head office with a secure cloud-based infrastructure, challenges centred around:
- Having a customized overview of all floors with layouts to provide immediate focus on event-related information.
- Transforming the way staff access doors, turnstiles and speed lanes by shifting from traditional access cards to a Mobile App.
- Having one supplier of software, Mobile App, cloud services, and hardware.
A Tailored approach
Working alongside the client and our trusted installer partners at Giant Security B.V., we implemented:
- IPROTECT AC CLOUD – Our integrated solution for software, Mobile App, cloud services, and hardware, which reduces compatibility issues, streamlines operations, and fosters a cohesive technology ecosystem.
- Access / Mobile App – Used in conjunction with IPROTECT Cloud to setup the communication between mobile devices and card readers which turns mobile phones into a virtual access card. Our readers are integrated directly into Boon Edam entrance and security products, providing a smooth solution that works seamlessly with IPROTECT for enhanced access control.
- VDG SENSE Video Management System provides users with event driven macros that simplify trigger function setup for predefined events. This feature enhances system adaptability and efficiency, allowing users to easily customize responses to dynamic security situations.
