Millworks Custom Manufacturing creates high-end furniture for offices and government buildings in Toronto, Canada. The company has a 140,000-square-foot manufacturing and warehousing facility, 250 employees, and operates 24 hours a day. The building also stores large amounts of valuable hardwood, vulnerable to theft.

Millworks’ security challenges stemmed from the large number of doors to monitor, as well as an infrastructure (thick, steel barrier walls and a U-shaped building) that made the installation of hardwired sensors difficult, expensive, and time consuming.

To deal with these challenges, Millworks needed equipment with exceptional transmission capability to transmit through barrier walls, across parking lots, and throughout the expansive building. And the solution needed to be a cost-effective, simple security system monitoring multiple door activities.

Millworks chose Tyco’s DSC PowerSeries Neo scalable, wireless intrusion detection system based on PowerG technology.

• DSC PowerSeries Neo is a modular, hardwired system that works with a wide range of wireless devices and peripherals. This results in a comprehensive and versatile hybrid system suited for both small and large-scale commercial applications.
• PowerG Wireless Security Detectors are compact, easy to install, and provide reliable intrusion detection to keep your home, business, or facility safe and secure.
