Flottweg SE once again relies on Dallmeier technology for the safety of its new factory

Cameras with multifocal sensor Panomera, The Megapixel Dome, the IPS recording system 10.000 and the SeMSy Compact software from Dallmeier create a tailor-made security concept for this German factory.

Vilsbiburg, close to the German city of Munich, It houses the headquarters and production plant of the multinational Flottweg SE, Manufacturer of machines and systems for the separation of liquids and solids, on a plot of land of about 110.000 m2.

After expanding the production area in 18.000 m2, Approximately, to host its second factory, A critical element in protecting your employees, facilities, processes and maintain its status as an Authorized Economic Operator (OAS) has been the security system, who have trusted in technology made in Germany of Dallmeier.

So he explains Robert Waxenberger, Deputy IT Manager, Flottweg SE, "the requirements of the solution for Factory II must be innovative, Sustainable, made in Germany and GDPR compliant".

Your experience working in Factory I, in which single-sensor cameras from the manufacturer Dallmeier have worked reliably for years, was decisive for this new team.

Working closely together, Flottweg and the Security Installer Franz Sicherungstechnik developed a new safety concept for Factory II with components from the Dallmeier portfolio, consisting of the Cameras with multifocal sensor Panomera, The Megapixel Dome, The IPS recording system 10.000 and video management software SeMSy Compact.

Unmanned test run

Flottweg's centrifuges and decanters undergo a strict testing procedure before shipment, which are carried out under the surveillance of cameras in nine test bunkers built especially for this purpose.

"If something unforeseen happens during a test, the pieces would swoop down with unimaginable force," Waxengerger explains. For the safety of our employees, The testing process must be carried out 'in the absence of human beings'. But as we also have to observe the correct development of the tests, This is where we use the cameras, and the domes help the operator to supervise the process".

With an export percentage of around 80%, AEO certification is critical for Flottweg, as this greatly simplifies shipping procedures. Part of the requirements to obtain this certification is a triad of Security measures physics: Securing the Perimeter, ensure surveillance of the dispatch ship and visual monitoring of the loading area.

The premises surrounding the factory warehouse are guarded within a 'closed perimeter'. Each section of the fence, with a corridor of about 90 Meters, is subject to the uninterrupted detection of S-Series Cameras by Panomera. Multifocal sensor systems are ideal for long distances along the fence, as its special sensor concept ensures high-quality image resolution.

As a result, movements of any origin, whether they are people or vehicles, For example, can be tracked for long stretches without loss of recording or camera switching. In addition to protection against unauthorized entry and assistance in incident investigation, The 1.700 m2 of the dispatch room and the loading area also have surveillance cameras.

Lower total costs

In addition to image quality, low infrastructure costs have also been a powerful argument in favour of the installation of Panomera systems, as he assures Andreas Franz, Managing Director of Franz Sicherungstechnik.

"If only the hardware components are taken into account, Comparison offers are cheaper. But if the general situation is considered, We only need a fraction of the infrastructure in terms of cables, Masts, Network and Cameras. Regarding total costs, Panomera is the least expensive. In addition, makes the operator's job much easier, because you no longer have to follow the images of countless cameras on the video wall, you only have to see a few".

For alarm activation and analysis, Flottweg uses video management software (Vms) SeMSy Compact, suitable for medium and small needs and as an assistance system that makes it easier for operators to quickly search for sequences of interest with the Convenient search.

In addition, there is a graphical user interface in the form of a linked site plan and an easy-to-use dashboard, so that incidents can be quickly classified and allow for effective investigation management.

Easy installation with Mountera

Also particularly advantageous for Flottweg is the award-winning system concept Mountera and its effectiveness when installing Panomera cameras, as Andreas Franz states: "I'm impressed; Mountera has made our lives so much easier. A Panomera system weighs 17 Kg. and the quick-release design makes installation much easier.".

Behind the automated access management system for employees is the Dallmeier license plate recognition system. The ANPR cameras and associated software read vehicle license plates and the barrier automatically opens for registered numbers.

"For employees, This makes it possible to access it easily by vehicle, and Flottweg is certain that there are no unauthorized vehicles on the company's premises," Franz points out. But also suppliers and carriers authorized by the company within the framework of AEO certification, and previously registered, benefit from easier access to loading docks".

'Privacy by design'

"As a manufacturer, we have a responsibility to supply our customers with safe products," he stresses Christian Linthaler, Sales Director at Dallmeier-. With our guiding principle Privacy by Design We offer a wide range of options for data protection and privacy settings in our products.".

In this sense, employee privacy is protected through the Privacy Zones feature in the camera settings, with sensitive spaces that can, For example, "darken" or completely excluded from the surveillance zone.

As the creator of the concept of a full-coverage solution, "Dallmeier has extensive research integration, Development and production, which creates and manufactures its components at its headquarters in Regensburg, with technology Made in Germany and the highest possible quality specifications in terms of material and, especially, useful life".

Using Panomera means that much smaller amounts of material are needed, Products and infrastructure. In addition, Almost all components can be upgraded without having to be replaced, which results in saving resources and energy.

"We are very satisfied with the customer-oriented solution and project management by Franz Sicherungstechnik," concludes Waxenberger. As global players with local roots, both Flottweg SE and Dallmeier combine tradition with the most advanced methods. At the same time, We have the same requirements in terms of planning quality, execution and products".
