The challenge
Meeting growing security needs with flexibility and scalability
As Harman Connected Services Poland plays a crucial role in developing advanced software solutions for global car manufacturers. In response to growing needs in physical security, the company sought a system that not only effectively secures access to their building but also integrates smoothly into their IT environment. It was crucial that communication was encrypted at every stage – from the server, through controllers, to readers. The system also needed to ensure the security of encrypted cards, often seen as the weakest link in security systems.
What they did
Smooth implementation with certified partners
The successful implementation was made possible by a clear policy of working with certified Nedap partners responsible for the system’s delivery, installation, and ongoing servicing. This approach minimized both costs and risks, ensuring a smooth and efficient rollout of the system.
Conclusion
This implementation shows that technology, when chosen wisely, can greatly enhance security, compliance (e.g., TISAX), and workplace comfort. Harman Poland’s experience with AEOS highlights the importance of selecting the right provider, who can not only ensure a smooth implementation but also adapt to evolving needs – as demonstrated with the locker management system.
“Thank you to everyone involved – from the service team to coordinators and our external partners.”
