Kubota Canada Ltd., a subsidiary of Kubota Corporation headquartered in Osaka, Japan, specialises in distributing a wide range of tractors, heavy equipment, and related machinery across Canada. Recently, the company faced a significant challenge in securing its expansive new corporate headquarters and distribution facility, spanning over 16,085 square meters. This facility includes extensive warehouse and office spaces and outdoor areas for storing valuable equipment and trailers.
The primary concern was to implement a robust security system capable of protecting both indoor and outdoor premises from unauthorised access and potential security breaches. While Kubota already had an indoor security system in place, ensuring comprehensive protection for the outdoor areas was critical to safeguarding company assets and maintaining operational safety.
After evaluating various solutions, Kubota turned to Phantom Security Group, which recommended Ajax products for their reliability and comprehensive outdoor security features. Ajax, known for its advanced alarm systems with quick alarm photo verification capabilities, offered a tailored solution that aligned perfectly with Kubota’s security requirements.
Key components of the Ajax system deployed at Kubota included the Hub 2 Plus Jeweller, chosen for its ability to manage up to 200 devices and provide rapid alarm confirmations within seconds. The Hub 2 Plus ensured stable communication through multiple channels, including LTE support, thereby ensuring uninterrupted connectivity even in challenging environments. To extend the system’s coverage across the vast facility, the ReX 2 Jeweller radio signal range extender was integrated, enabling effective communication between devices placed at significant distances from the central hub.
Critical access points and perimeters were secured using Ajax’s DualCurtain Outdoor Jeweller detectors, which offered precise monitoring capabilities without obstructing the movement of authorised personnel. These detectors featured adjustable viewing sectors and anti-masking technology to promptly detect and alert security personnel of any tampering attempts. MotionCam Outdoor Jeweller motion detectors were strategically placed to detect movements up to 15 meters away, providing visual confirmation of detected activities through push notifications and photos sent directly to the Ajax apps.
To amplify security measures, StreetSiren Jeweller sirens were installed around Kubota’s perimeter, emitting loud, deterrent sounds upon intrusion detection. These sirens, designed for reliability in harsh climates, ensured immediate alerts to trespassers and enhanced the effectiveness of the overall security system.
Ajax’s selection was driven by its proven reliability and technical compliance, addressing Kubota’s need for a system that performs as specified under real-world conditions. The system’s rapid alarm verification and detailed notifications provided Kubota’s security team with enhanced situational awareness, enabling prompt responses to security incidents across the vast facility.
Ajax’s comprehensive outdoor security solution successfully met Kubota’s stringent security requirements, delivering reliable protection and ensuring the safety of its assets and operations. The implementation not only fortified Kubota’s facility against potential threats but also streamlined security management through centralised monitoring and control, demonstrating Ajax’s capability to provide effective security solutions for large-scale industrial environments.
