Mass Security provides a comprehensive security solution to Envaplaster

The new headquarters, located in Viana (Navarra), has a cctv and anti-intrusion security system that helps protect property. A solution that integrates video, access control, presence and intrusion on a single security platform: Waf Food Defense.

Envaplaster is a family business that for almost three decades has dedicated its activity to the manufacture of thermo-formed plastic containers for food. They develop tailor-made solutions with technology as a basis for improvement, trying to anticipate the demand and giving a previous solution. They divide their production into 3 large areas called: pastry, fresh and pre-cooked.

Continuing with their efforts to improve the service they provide, have moved their headquarters to a new larger and better equipped location in the town of Viana (Navarra). With an investment greater than 5 millions of euros, the new plant consists of 14.000 square meters of plot, distributed in production area, extrusion and thermo-forming, storage area for raw material and finished product, as well as offices.

Being a new construction, the client considered providing their facilities with a security system with CCTV and anti-intrusion that would help protect the property. Mass Security, after analyzing the general needs of the project, and being a company directly linked to the agri-food industry, he proposed to broaden his vision. Take advantage of the implementation of security measures, not only from the point of view of anti-theft system, but also from the food defense.

With the help of food defense group consultants, Mass Security proposed a solution that integrated video, access control, presence and intrusion on a single security platform: Waf Food Defense.

With 46 IP cameras 5 megapixel resolution have been covered all areas susceptible to control. The model Brickcom minidome VD-502AE-V6 was located in indoor areas, although it has anivandial protection. Its varifocal optics allow the lens to be adjusted to the vision required at each point. The bullet model, intended for outdoor areas, was the OB-500Af-A2-V6 with fixed optics of 6 Mm. Its resolution and compact IP66 format allowed a fast placement at the perimeter of the property. The areas covered by these cameras were basically areas of passage and access., production areas, offices and the noble area of the plant.

To cover the large entrance area more specifically, a higher resolution FB-500AP camera and optical range with heated housing was placed.

Access control

For access control, fundamental point to be complied with by the Food Defense regulations, has been covered for both personnel and vehicles. Pedestrian access to access the property is done through an online RFID reader and an outdoor IP doorman. Once inside the building, staff and visitors access, both to enter and to leave the factory, thanks to a full-height lathe that allows the passage thanks also to online readers and IP intercoms.

Once this step control has been passed, the presence of personnel is carried out through a half-height lathe with RFID time control terminals + Keyboard. Access to the offices is independent and also has an online reader and IP intercom for the passage to this area.

Access to the property for vehicles is done through the Mass Traffic module. At the entrance, the license plates of all vehicles including mopeds are registered and identified, both national and international. In addition to the permit for the license plates discharged, users have an online reader for workers, and an IP intercom for the unauthorized. Installed 2 barriers of 6 meters each, as an architectural element that controls the flow of vehicles.

A fifth doorman was located in the area of loading docks for the communication of the carriers with production office. The doormen are integrated with the communications switchboard, which facilitates the call to different extensions and the actuation of doors by means of different codes.

Also related to access control, an off-line padlock was placed for access to the open area of facilities (Compressors, transformer and alternator center), thus managing the entry of unauthorized persons into this area. The Visits module was included to streamline its management and have a more complete access control and presence, even for people with temporary stay.

The different warehouses (raw material, unfinished product, finished product...) communicate by fast doors. To improve the work of forklifters and operators with bulls that move a large amount of matter and weight, different loop detectors were installed so that the opening was automatic.

To differentiate the opening of different doors, since the bulls and wheelbarrows passed through different loops in transit without the need to go through the doors, receivers were placed in the same areas of fast doors and controls of different channels were associated for the opening of each of them.

In order not to lose the level of security in access to the different production areas, they only open if the terminal of the fast access door receives the double condition of opening by loop and control.

Management and intrusion

For the management of information facilitated by the WAF platform and the monitoring of cameras and warnings, four remote client seats were placed. Two of them are configured in the production area, managing certain different cameras per line.

The third place is for management with permission to access all cameras, in addition to having access control management, video export, control presence, etc... A fourth place for reception, view access points, manage access permissions to temporary users.

The intrusion system is characterized by being grade 2 and be connected to an alarm receiving center with Mass Security after-alarm viewing. In this way the facilities are permanently protected. In addition, different partitions have been created in the office area, so intrusion permissions are hierarchical. The office hours are different from the production so you can have such an armed zone, and that the night shift may be working in the manufacturing area.

The emergency doors are protected with magnetic contacts that in turn are connected with the surveillance cameras of each zone. This helps that if there is an access on them, an alarm is issued on the Waf platform and pop-ups are managed at checkpoints.

Network electronics are independent of safety from production electronics. A fiber ring has been implanted that runs through the plant, so that a fiber cut does not result in signal loss.

Traffic management is done thanks to four switches of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise 6350-P24 and transceiver to bind it to fiber. Betting on high-end switches improves data transmission and manages information more securely. This ensures that the professional security solution is not harmed by inadequate network infrastructure.
