Background
The company is a Texas-based specialty transportation provider focused on the unique challenges of the oil & gas industry.
Challenges
The company contacted us to help eliminate mineral theft problems in remote sites in West Texas. The time spent dealing with the consequences of theft and trespassing incidents impacted daily workflow and lead to lost employee time and revenue.
Solution
The company presented a need for a self-sufficient system that is able to survive intense environmental conditions. EPIC iO SiteWatch™ Video Surveillance System, with cloud access for remote viewing and artificial intelligence software to detect human and vehicle presence at the site and send real-time alerts, was chosen to help the company alleviate the mineral theft. The SiteWatch™ was an economical alternative to physical security, with no need for constant redeployment or replacement of guards.
Benefits and Values
- Eliminated Mineral Theft from Client’s Location: Costly mineral theft was threatening the company’s bottom line and creating issues for staff. The elimination of theft increased revenue by not only removing loss but allowing the company to focus valuable resources on production.
- Reduce Site Monitoring Costs by 75%: Previous solutions to the company’s theft issues were expensive with less-than-ideal results. EPIC’s technology centric security vastly reduced costs while solving the theft issues.
- Greater Monitoring Reach for Remote Locations: Harsh, outlying locations pose challenges for in-person security observation with full physical coverage difficult to accomplish. Video surveillance allows for great ease in observation without needing to physically walk the site.
Conclusion
With the newly installed SiteWatch™ keeping a vigilant, 24-hour watch, the company saw its revenue greatly increase as thefts went down and costs for physical security decreased. Access control and video surveillance allow for a heightened level of security with a substantially better price tag.
