Customer challenges
Why choose Securitas?
As a major supplier of Covid-19 testing kits, Thermo Fisher Scientific needed a fast and effective way to keep their UK sites operational and Covid-secure. Originally considering handheld thermometers, they worked with Securitas to assess more efficient alternatives. Our recommendation: contact-free thermal imaging technology that offered greater accuracy, reduced health risks and a better long-term investment.
Our solution
The need for a comprehensive security system
Our team conducted a swift remote assessment of site access points, staff numbers and risk levels. Within one week, we had installed the first thermal imaging camera. Once proven effective, this technology was rolled out across five additional UK sites. A later upgrade to smart pedestal-based systems enabled the creation of multiple, segregated entry points during a major site expansion.
