Honeydew Dairies selects CEM AC2000 Access Control System
CEM Systems, part of Tyco Security Products, has announced that Honeydew Dairies has selected CEM’s AC2000 Lite security management system to secure its factory and warehousing facilities in Nottingham Road, South Africa. The system was supplied by CEM Approved Distributor, Mustek Ltd, and installed by CEM Installer Brandfin Trade. “Brandfin immediately chose CEM access control as the best overall solution for the job” said Alistair Mingay, Managing Director, Brandfin Trade. “CEM’s AC2000 Lite system was selected by Brandfin as it not only offers integrated biometric security for staff and visitors, but also offers us the capability to integrate with future Time & Attendance systems.” CEM AC2000 Lite system installed at Honeydew Dairies is supported using CEM’s industry leading S610f fingerprint reader. The reader has been installed at turnstiles on site to provide biometric access control at the pedestrian entrances to the site. The S610f is an intelligent IP card reader and offers three levels of security – card, PIN and biometric. As an integrated solution the S610f reader eliminates the need for a separate biometric system as fingerprint templates are captured at the same time as other cardholder details are enrolled on the
AC2000 system. The S610f reader successfully provides multiple layers of access control at the factory. “AC2000 Lite is an ideal solution for Honeydew Dairies” said Andrew Fulton, Director of Global Sales, CEM Systems “Not only is it easy to install, it is affordable and provides a range of powerful software features and functionality such as ID badging and Central Alarm Monitoring to enhance site operations on a daily basis”. The system at Honeydew Dairies utilises powerful AC2000 software modules including CEM’s AC2000 VIPPS (Visual Imaging and Pass Production System), which allows factory security to produce colour coded passes and access rights for administrative, warehouse and factory staff as well as day visitors. AC2000 T&A (Time and Attendance) module has also been installed offering easy to read reports of employee IN and OUT times. Using the AC2000 AED (Alarm Event Display) module, Honeydew Dairies management team has a graphical display showing all access control points and activity on the system. This real time display alerts personnel when a controlled goods door is opened and allows them to critically stop unauthorized exit or entry.
The Security Institute offers more member benefits
The Security Institute has announced the introduction of The Knowledge Centre, a pioneering new online resource that enables its members to access a wide range of information on a variety of industry based subjects.
The brainchild of The Security Institute’s new Research Directorate, it has been created so that students and established industry professionals alike can find the latest research and continuing professional development (CPD) related materials. Those studying for the Certificate in Security Management and Diploma in Security Management, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students, will particularly benefit from this unique centralised facility. Angus Darroch-Warren, CSyP FSyI and director for The Knowledge Centre, explained, “Designed for ease of use, members can discover a plethora of information including research papers, government reports, legislation, articles, dissertations, links to external websites and other relevant resources. It will prove to be an essential tool for any of our members looking to enhance their levels of industry
32 security & access control
expertise and also offers the chance to gain valuable CPD points.”
Structured around 16 core categories that reflect the parameters and scope of contemporary practice, The Knowledge Centre will be introduced in a series of phases and continually updated. Subjects such as intelligence gathering, information security, research, counter terrorism, defence, international security and risk management are all covered alongside information technology related topics such as cyber security.
In order to ensure that the most relevant information is featured, a number of ‘champions’ have been identified and appointed to lead each of the subject categories. Many of the experts have completed, or are undertaking, doctoral level research in their area of expertise and will be in a position to communicate their knowledge of key information resources to the membership.
This new initiative is part of The Security
Institute’s on-going commitment to making membership as beneficial to individuals as possible. As well as enhanced credibility with employers, clients and other industry
professionals, members can network with industry experts, receive publications and articles, attend a range of events, and gain qualifications and designations. “The Knowledge Centre is an incredibly exciting development that demonstrates our intention to give members access to the type of information that will allow them to boost their levels of expertise and perform their roles to the very highest standards,” commented Emma Shaw, CSyP FSyI and chairman of The Security Institute. “It also represents one of the first attempts by this profession to define exactly what security means to modern society and convey this to those working in this sector and beyond.”

Building & Facilities Management – October 2013
Alongside the AC2000 system, Brandfin installed automated gates for vehicle access as well as various turnstiles to control access into the different zones of the factory. The vehicle access is also monitored by a mixture of PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom) and fixed video cameras which integrate with the factory control room to allow or deny access to arriving vehicles. The installation at Honeydew Dairies was carried out smoothly and efficiently by CEM Installer, Brandfin Trade. Brandfin Trade were selected to install the system because of their wealth of experience in supporting I.T. as well as cameras, access control, integration, and control room monitoring. Brandfin Trade was aided in the installation of the Honeydew and have proven competency in the CEM AC2000 product range through certified training at the CEM head office. Established in 1994, Honeydew Dairies has grown from a small dairy farm to a large dairy producer with depots throughout the region and a fleet of 80 transport vehicles.
