The Logistics Chain Gebruder Weiss expands its video surveillance infrastructure and re-trusts Sony

The transport company has updated its surveillance solution at the Maria Lazendorf centre, who already had almost 500 Sony cameras and Milestone VMS, with the integration of 33 SNC-VM772R 4K cameras.

Gebrüder Weiss is one of the largest and longest-lived transport and logistics companies in Europe, with a legacy of more than 500 Years. Based in Vorarlberg (Austria) and more than 7.000 employees in 150 locations around the world, has customers of all sizes, who trust the company to ship their goods safely and undamaged to their destination. To guarantee shipments, the service provider relies on comprehensive video surveillance in its logistics centers, which is regularly updated to incorporate the latest cutting-edge technology.

The latest initiative has been carried out in its distribution center in Maria Lazendorf, located near Vienna. Until now it had almost 500 Cameras Sony and video management software (Vms) of Milestone Systems. This has been complemented by the integration of 33 Sony SNC-4K cameras.

The update allows for greater security, a complete tracking of the package being shipped and the ability to track any damage produced. Sony's new 4K cameras are mainly used to monitor recharging, from the largest trailers to the smallest trucks. Your field of view covers the exact place of transfer, as well as the interior of trailers and conveyor belts.

The SNC-VM772R camera features a large CMOS sensor with 4K resolution, combining optimal image quality and a large depth field, even in difficult lighting conditions. Its robust design, with built-in image stabilization, ensures smooth and clear video images despite vibration, dust and exhaust gases from circulating lorries.

The installation of the cameras ensures that the entire transit area is monitored at all hours, with no blind spot caused by vehicles or pallets. In addition, new 4K cameras can follow multiple objects simultaneously with both VGA and Full HD resolution.

The image sensor of 20 SNC-VM772R megapixel also captures high-quality tests, images with a resolution higher than 4K that allows even the smallest detail to be clearly displayed. For Gebrüder Weiss, Sony's solution is an alternative to many of the PTZ cameras (pan/tilt/zoom) or to systems with multiple sensors.

Installation and integration into the existing environment has been carried out by ÖWD Österreichischer Wachdienst Security & Services, Sony Local Partner. With 2.800 Employees, is one of the largest security companies in Austria.

"Since it was inaugurated in 2006 we have used Sony cameras in our centre in Maria Lanzendorf, our largest terminal in the world. Both image quality and reliability, with near-zero error rates, have always exceeded our expectations, and even in the current project it was demonstrated in a direct comparison with other alternatives", comments Werner Drnec, Head of Operations at Gebrüder Weiss, Maria Lanzendorf.
