Supply and installation of an access control system at OVS

OVS corporate context

The client company, OVS S.p.A., is the leading Italian retailer in the women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing market with a 9.3% market share. It operates over 2,050 stores in Italy and abroad under the OVS, UPIM, and Stefanel brands. In this case, the focus is on their Mestre (VE) headquarters, where an access control system was installed to improve security and operational efficiency.

OVS needs and requirements

OVS needed to improve access control. Since the company manages numerous stores and assets, it was crucial to implement an access control system that was reliable, flexible, and capable of integrating with daily activities and business operations. The goal was to ensure secure access to sensitive areas of the building while also facilitating the movement of employees and authorized personnel.

 

 

Advantages obtained from OVS

The implementation of the access control system has led to tangible results for OVS:

– badge readers integrated into the employee marking machine.
– Improved Security: The system has significantly increased security within sensitive areas of the building, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
– Operational Efficiency: Integrating the system with business operations has streamlined employee flow within the building, reducing downtime and simplifying permit management.
– Centralized Control: The ability to manage permissions and monitor access from a centralized panel has given OVS greater flexibility in security management.

Description of the proposed solution: “Swing Gate 330 – PR 277“

Saima Sicurezza has implemented an access control system that includes the “Swing Gate 330” and the “PR277.” The machines are controlled via local badge readers. The system is managed by a touchscreen control console, integrated into the company Ethernet network at the reception desk, and connected to an emergency release circuit synchronized with the fire evacuation system.
