Danfoss gives go-ahead for global roll out of Nedap’s AEOS security platform

Danfoss with Nedap applied its ‘one company, one way’ strategy to central strategy and programme for security and access control

Danfoss, an international supplier of mechanical and electronic components for various industries, gives the green light for the international roll out of AEOS, Nedap’s security platform. The next five years this platform will be introduced globally at all 80 locations. In 2014, Danfoss together with Nedap applied its company strategy ‘one company, one way’ to a central strategy and programme for security and access control. The programme lays the foundation for increased security by optimising processes and using fewer resources.

Danfoss is an international supplier that plays an active role in the main growth themes in a world that is rapidly changing: infrastructure, food, energy and climate are the focus of their business. Danfoss has clients in many different 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 with the top of the international security industry. A component of this partnership is the software-based security platform AEOS which was developed by Nedap. This platform integrates access control, intrusion detection and video management. Danfoss decided to partner with Nedap because it offers a proven and standardised approach for the global implementation of physical security.

One integrated platform

With its Global Client Programme Nedap supports Danfoss in the development of a strategy, technology and a central server environment. “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 successfully, Danfoss gives the go-ahead for the global roll out. “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,” says Henrik Hansen, Head of Real Estate Portfolio and Facility Director at Danfoss.
