The Challenge
A mid-sized manufacturer based in New Jersey was facing growing concerns across both security and operations. Despite having a traditional surveillance setup, key issues were slipping through the cracks:
- •Unmonitored access to restricted zones after hours
- •Inventory shrinkage without a clear paper trail
- •Outdated cameras that lacked real-time visibility
- •Time-consuming manual compliance checks for safety regulations
These challenges weren't just security risks—they were affecting the company's bottom line and workflow efficiency.
The Solution
Tec-Tel partnered with the manufacturer to install a tailored AI-powered security system that worked smarter—not harder.
What We Implemented:
- AI-Driven Video Surveillance: Cameras with motion detection and object classification to distinguish between authorized personnel, vehicles, and suspicious activity
- Access Control: Role-based badge entry system to ensure only authorized employees could access sensitive areas
- Remote Monitoring: Secure access for leadership to monitor facility activity anytime, anywhere
- Safety Compliance Alerts: Smart alerts for PPE violations and restricted area breaches
All systems were integrated into a single platform, allowing leadership to log incidents, generate reports, and proactively identify patterns.
The Results
In just two months, the company reported significant improvements:
83%
reduction in after-hours access violations
$14,500+
in inventory losses prevented through real-time alerts
20%
reduction in prep time for safety inspections
Enhanced visibility
for managers—on-site or remote
The team also gained new operational insights, including shipment tracking and shift-change monitoring—something their old system could never offer.
What the Team Said
"It's more than just cameras—it's a system that actually thinks. We're finally ahead of issues instead of reacting after the fact."— Director of Operations
Looking Ahead
Following the success of this rollout, the company is now exploring expansion to a second facility, along with license plate recognition at loading docks to monitor truck traffic and delivery accuracy.
