Top Benefits of Access Control in Manufacturing

When it comes to securing manufacturing facilities, access control plays a pivotal role. The obvious benefit of access control systems is to prevent unauthorized intruders or control levels of access for personnel, protect the facility against damage and theft, and protect employees from harm. But there are other advantages. 

Challenges within the Manufacturing Facility  

The manufacturing environment has numerous risks specific to the industry. Most facilities have areas containing sensitive documents and information, large quantities of products or materials onsite may use dangerous equipment, and may be producing products that are classified, proprietary, or otherwise need special protection. Lapses in this protection, whether accidental or malicious, can have lasting and damaging consequences in this environment. 

Top Risks Within the Manufacturing Facility

Manufacturing plants are prone to a diverse set of security risks, including:

  • Theft
  • Vandalism
  • Violence
  • Sabotage
  • Espionage and Counterfeiting
  • Non-compliance
  • Unauthorized Entry in Restricted Areas
  • Trespassing
  • Accidents

Top  Benefits of Access Control for Manufacturing Facilities 

The main priorities of most manufacturing facilities are protecting people, processes, and products, maintaining compliance, and maintaining productivity. Access control plays an important role in addressing all of these objectives. Here’s how. 

  • Restricting access to critical areas helps prevent the theft of products, equipment, data, and sensitive documents.
  • Controlling access to manufacturing facilities can prevent acts of vandalism and other malicious acts perpetrated by the public or saboteurs.
  • Preventing unauthorized access to critical areas can help manufacturing plant managers prevent accidents and injuries.
  • Access control provides an audit trail of access within the facility to help avoid compliance issues, confirm time clock records, and help solve disputes. 
  • Adopting access control technologies can also prevent acts of espionage and product counterfeiting.
  • Since there are no keys, there is no need to re-key with employment changes or lost keys. 
  • Vendors can have easy but restricted access.
