Case Study: Security Portals Installation for a Leading Metal Industry Company in Austria

Background

In April 2023, a prominent Austrian company in the metal industry reached out with specific requirements for upgrading their access control and security systems. At the time, they relied on an outdated competitor system with limited support, as replacement parts were no longer available. Given the client’s focus on high-level security, the company required a modern solution that could seamlessly integrate with their fire alarm system and maintain a high flow rate for personnel.

Challenges

The project posed unique challenges, including:

• Custom Integration: Ensuring the new security system could meet the client’s stringent requirements while maintaining compatibility with existing fire alarm systems.
• High People-Flow: Designing a solution that would allow efficient and secure access without compromising on security.
• System Transition: Replacing the old system with minimal disruption to the company’s operations.

Solution

Our Austrian subsidiary, FAAC Türautomation Austria GmbH, recommended the installation of CoMETA security portals, which are designed to meet the rigorous standards for secure and efficient access control in high-traffic environments.

Implementation

Key implementation steps included:

• System Dismantling: Removing the existing access system carefully to prepare for the new installation.
• Precision Customization: Ensuring precise dimensions of the CoMETA portals to minimize additional construction work.
• Seamless Installation and Training: Installing the CoMETA portals and providing thorough training for staff to maximize efficiency and ease of use.

Results

The new CoMETA security portals have delivered significant benefits, including:

• Enhanced Security and Efficiency: The company now enjoys a state-of-the-art, visually appealing access control system that meets contemporary security standards.
• Reliable Performance: The new system provides streamlined access control, ensuring only authorized personnel can enter, all while maintaining a high flow rate for employees and visitors.

Conclusion

This project highlights CoMETA’s ability to meet demanding industry requirements, with customer satisfaction demonstrated by the client's order for a third system. The successful implementation of CoMETA security portals showcases our commitment to providing advanced, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing security solutions tailored to the unique needs of our clients.
