Danfoss – a supplier of mechanical and electronic components for various industries – reports the international rollout of AEOS, Dutch firm Nedap’s software-based security platform. The next five years this platform will be introduced globally at all 80 locations. In 2014 Danfoss, with Nedap, applied its company strategy ‘one company, one way’ to a central strategy for security and access control.
Danfoss has clients in many industrial sectors in more than 100 countries and employs over 24,000 people. In 2013 Danfoss selected Nedap as its global partner for physical security after a competitive selection process. AEOS as developed by Nedap integrates access control, intrusion detection and video management.
With its Global Client Programme Nedap supports Danfoss in the development of a strategy, technology and a central server. Fritz Lorenzen, Security Manager at Danfoss, said: ‘We wanted to achieve a higher efficiency and Nedap’s Global Client Programme has made this possible. It has already proven itself on 7 locations in North America, Europe and Asia. Previously, the preparation of the implementation of a security solution on location took at least four weeks. With Nedap this is possible in one week,’ says Fritz Lorenzen, Security Manager at Danfoss.
Now that the central programme is up and running and the first locations have been completed, Danfoss has given the go-ahead for the rollout. Henrik Hansen, Head of Real Estate Portfolio and Facility Director at Danfoss, said: ‘Danfoss is ready to migrate all 80 locations to Nedap’s security platform AEOS in the next five years and we look forward to it with much confidence.’
