Unilever enhances security with Nedap access control system

by Shane Henson — January 16, 2013—Nedap, a Netherlands-based provider of high-end security solutions around the world, has been contracted by multinational health and wellbeing corporation Unilever to deliver its AEOS global physical access system.

According to Nedap, AEOS will be used to secure more than 20,000 doors in more than 800 Unilever sites around the world, while also providing video surveillance. Nedap offers a global support model for implementation and maintenance of AEOS through its worldwide network of business partners, it says.

AEOS is a standardized solution for all Unilever sites, adds Nedap. This standardization results in several global advantages, including cost savings, global reporting capability and enhanced user experience. One of the automated and centrally managed processes allows Unilever to easily make management reports for all Unilever locations from one single database, giving valuable business information.

The implementation of self-service capability of employees for access requests and badge activation greatly enhances user experience, the company also notes.
