Advantex Network Solutions Ltd: Fast growing Advantex wins major IT
upgrade programme; Firm at forefront of IP camera technology
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:04072008
Fast growing system infrastructure specialists Advantex Network
Solutions Ltd is carrying out a major IT upgrade for a leading
manufacturer of chipboard products.
The North East-based firm is designing and installing new cabling and
access boosters to improve wireless network capacity at Egger (UK) Ltd,
whose products are used in the manufacture of kitchens and furniture as
well as in new build housing.
The work will see the installation of 50 Mobotix IP cameras at Egger's
new factory in Hexham, Northumberland. Also, four 360deg swivelling
Sony RZ-25 (PTZ) cameras are being installed at key points around the
factory.
The cameras are being linked to the main gatehouse to enable security
officers to improve the monitoring of key parts of the factory
including the energy plant, burning chamber, recycling, chipping and
log yard.
They will also be able to use the technology to better track the
movements of delivery vehicles in and around the 40 acre site.
A key aspect of the contract is a pre-installation site survey, which
has been carried out by Advantex engineers using Air Magnetic Pro
software to identify the best locations to site the new CISCO 1231AG
Series Aironet Access Points.
Advantex has specified Milestone software asthe most effective open
platform IP videomanagement system for controlling the extended camera
network.Additional cameras, together with a loudspeaker are also being
installed at Egger's timber yard in Leeds as part of the upgrade
programme.
These are being linked to Hexham via the internet to provide remote
monitoring capabilities and improved security of the Leeds operation.
A supporting fibre optic cabling is also being installed to increase
the network operating speed to 10 Gb.
Advantex has completed a number of IT contracts for Egger over the last
few years but this latest one reinforces its growing reputation as one
of the leading installers of the Mobotix IP camera technology in the
North of England.
Other IP installations have been completed at Gateshead College, City
of Sunderland College, Oxclose School, Dyke House School and Boulby
Deep Mine in Saltburn among others.
Mark Wilson, IT team leader at Egger, said the project required an
easy-to-use, advanced solution that would deliver added value user and
long term financial benefits.
"This will be achieved with Advantex's upgraded infrastructure," said
Mark Wilson.
"They have the expertise and technology to deliver a cost effective
solution that will be quick to install, non-disruptive to the running
of the factory during installation and ultimately provide
peace-of-mind."
He added that another important reason for awarding Advantex this
latest contract is that its engineers are qualified to work in the
challenging environment of the Egger factory, where work has to be
carried out at height and in and around moving vehicles.
Advantex was founded five years ago by former Royal Marine commando
Stephen O'Connell and his brother Dave. Stephen O'Connell said: "We
have built up a tremendous working relationship with Egger over the
last few years and consistently delivered on time and within budget.
"We are now the paramount provider of advanced IP-based CCTV and
wireless integrated turnkey solutions in the region."
Now employing 30 people, Advantex will break through the GBP2 million
sales barrier later this year - making it one of the fast growing firms
in its sector in the region.
Other customers include Nissan, furniture retailer SCS, Caterpillar
Articulated Trucks, NSK Steering and Simpson's Malt. Advantex achieved
the prestigious ISO9001/2000 industry quality mark within its first
year of trading.
