EPSON UK Ltd 
The supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance of a total real time resource management and security system.


Situated at Hemel Hempstead, the UK sales HQ has invested substantially in applying Radio Frequency ID to address asset control, security and visitor management issues common to most corporate users.

Initial consultation revealed a desire to increase awareness of existing IT equipment. However, equipment location was not the only requirement - information such as full specification, maintenance history, financial records and customised reporting were specified.  All criteria were readily matched by implementing a simple passive solution based on external 'credit card' tags, handheld audit scanners and Tag & Trace application software. 


With an effective asset management system now implemented, consideration was turned toward maximising on site security through monitored door control and a move toward automated asset monitoring and issue. In its capacity as UK sales HQ, the site also has a high volume of visitors for which an ID card management system was required.

Key objectives for a fully integrated system included a simple access control procedure through-out the building (by presenting  personalised ID card), the ability to present this ID and authorise the issue of company property (such as Laptops) and a simple effective way for the receptionist to issue temporary ID to visitors for predefined access.

In the surrounding car park areas and entrance atrium, CCTV was deployed to  provide a high level of site visibility and reception video access.  Hands Free barrier operation for company vehicles was overcome by installing active tags which transmit to receivers within the boom gate.

An extensive study of Epsons's requirements coupled with Climarque's knowledge of leading edge and breaking technology resulted in the seamless integration of a system which not only met but surpassed the original specification in all areas.
