1. Access control systems could help improve cargo security

   9 July 2015 12:31 pm Leave a Comment

   The overall security of trailers and shipping containers could be significantly improved by implementing secure access control solutions, experts in the field have argued recently.

   A layered approach to security is the most effective solution for controlling and managing movement in and out of a trailer or container, Tom Mann, president of a cargo security firm, notes. “Cargo protection starts with access control and managing access to ensure load integrity,” he says, “and to avoid an even inadvertent loss of cargo resulting from an unauthorized door opening.”

   Securing cargo terminals is certainly a vital part of any multi-layered security system, and this is specifically where Access Control UK could put its extensive experience in the field to very good use.

   We employ a variety of access control technologies in order to create advanced solutions, enable users to exert solid, reliable and accurate control over the access to specific premises or zones.
