Long-term security
In addition to striving for a healthy (profitable) organization, companies nowadays also pay attention to the well-being of the people in the organization and the environment (People, Planet, Profit).
In almost all sectors, waste is prevented as much as possible and attention is paid to a liveable society; now and in the future.
The latter is necessary, because industrialization and rapid economic growth in the past have caused a lot of environmental damage. At the same time, technological progress offers all kinds of opportunities to work sustainably, such as remote working and the remote monitoring and servicing of buildings and systems.
In addition, it allows organizations to save money.
Twice a win, in other words.
Preventing unnecessary travel
Modern security systems are based on IT standards.
This is not only convenient, but also sustainable.
There is a good chance that systems will have to be adapted in the future to changes in, for example, business processes or criminal modus operandi.
With modern security systems, this can be arranged quickly and remotely; The settings of the software and/or new versions are then updated without having to visit the location.
Modern security systems can also be managed and monitored remotely.
It no longer matters how big your organization is and how many buildings you have.
Mactwin, for example, systematically monitors customers’ systems for their proper functioning from the Mactwin Operation Center (MOC).
If there are anomalies, such as the failure of a system component or a poor image quality of a security camera, these are quickly recognized – sometimes even before you even realize it – and repaired.
Remote.
This way of working not only has a positive impact on system availability and quality, but it also means that a technician no longer has to travel to your location for every malfunction.
This saves (travel) time, travel costs and it has a positive effect on the environment by limiting CO2 emissions.
Furthermore, it is now very common for all buildings of an organization to be monitored from one central control room, instead of a security lodge with a security guard at every location.
It goes without saying that, in addition to the normal cost savings, considerable savings can also be made on energy costs here.
Less disposal of good equipment
Modern security management software is becoming more and more open.
This means that the software supports many different brands of hardware and can link them together.
Elements from existing systems that still function well do not need to be replaced, but can simply be integrated into the new system.
As a result, systems become more future-proof and the unnecessary disposal of well-functioning equipment is limited.
No unnecessary energy consumption
By linking modern security systems to other systems, such as building management and facility systems, a lot of sustainable gains can be achieved.
For example, all these systems can be operated centrally and, for example, it is easy to gain insight into how many people visit your buildings on which days.
Organisations that have embraced the new way of working can thus tailor access to areas to the predicted occupancy for a day.
Certain areas may remain closed as long as the number of people in a day remains below a certain amount.
The lighting in these areas can be turned off and the heating can be turned down a few notches.
For other areas, by using smart sensors or access control, the lighting and heating are automatically switched on when someone enters or leaves the area first.
Thanks to these kinds of smart connections, buildings become safer, more comfortable and more energy-efficient
