Expanding on an existing relationship, ADT was chosen by Abercrombie & Fitch to provide our security solutions in their first flagship store in Spain.

The store will open later this summer in one of Madrid’s most emblematic locations.

Abercrombie & Fitch is a popular American retailer that focuses on casual wear. It has over 300 locations in the US and is expanding internationally. The company also operates three offshoot brands: abercrombie (childrenswear), Hollister Co., and Gilly Hicks. It entered the European market in 2007 with the London flagship store. Since then, the company has opened stores in Italy, Denmark and France. Belgian, German and Irish flagship stores will open later in 2011, in addition to the Spanish one.

Intrusion detection, EAS and CCTV are part of the contracted solution and have been chosen to fit in with the store’s branding and aesthetics. Our systems will cover sales and non-sales areas of the store to prevent and reduce shop-lifting and help with the supervision and management of all operations.

ADT ‘s experience with the customer’s three Hollister stores in Spain helped us understand their business and requirements and win this new project.

Well done to our colleagues in Spain: Israel Alcazar, Key Account Manager, and Eugenio Nombela, Project Engineer.

Maintaining a 12-year relationship with Druni helped ADT Spain renew our contract to upgrade the security system already installed in their stores, from Promax to UltraExit 24.

DRUNI are a Spanish chain of shops specialising in perfume, cosmetic and personal care products. The company was founded in Carlet, Valencia, in 1987 and have 180 shops and 1000 employees in Spain.

ADT’s previous excellent post-sale service to the customer gave us a clear advantage over the competition and contributed to this win. In addition, what made our proposition stand out was that our EAS system is not influenced by metal, as it usually happens, especially in RF technology, and can effectively detect the security label at the store exit. As 60% of perfumes have some metallic elements on their packaging, it’s important to the customer to have an effective security system in place to prevent shop lifting.

Well done to Carlos Matarranz, Key Account Manager, Spain, for fostering a longstanding positive relationship with the customer and renewing our contract.

In 2009, ADT Germany was awarded the first of seven orders to protect a Hollister store in Frankfurt. A few years later, having provided a great customer experience helped our German team expand this account by winning a tender for the installation of security solutions in the Abercrombie & Fitch flagship store in Dusseldorf.

Abercrombie & Fitch is a popular American retailer that focuses on casual wear. It has over 300 locations in the US and is expanding internationally. Hollister is a company of Abercrombie & Fitch and Global Account Customer of Tyco.

Intrusion detection, Intercom at the entrance and a CCTV system (worth €182k, including a control room with five CCTV surveillance monitors) are part of the security solution that will be installed in the store, in time for its December opening. Furthermore, ADT will install an access control system and EAS (a floor antenna FloorMax) worth €27k. All systems will be monitored from our alarm receiving centre.

Congratulations Markus Mikuta, ADM Core, Wolfgang Strauss, Account Manager, and Ahmet Kaynar, Project Leader.

SITA has selected ADT to deliver a fully-integrated security and access control solution within Dublin Airport’s new Terminal 2 (T2). T2 opened its doors in November 2010 and has the capacity to handle more than 30 million passengers each year.

 The €395m terminal opens up a new gateway between Ireland and the US. Working with partners Tyco and Meyertech, ADT has helped T2 visitors have a safe and pleasant experience travelling through the airport. ADT is responsible for the end-to-end delivery of the airport’s video surveillance and security systems as well as the support and maintenance. The IP-based solution provides an interface between analogue and digital systems, which is then integrated with the terminal’s IT network. As a result, T2 has digital recording, alarms, building management, telephony and passenger screening, all operating on one consolidated network. With more than 600 video cameras and using H.264 video encoders for IP based recording, ADT has delivered one of the world’s most advanced video management systems.

 The solution integrates video, access control, building management, baggage handling, and fire alarm systems into a digital control room that provides a consolidated view of all of these critical T2 systems.

To further strengthen air transport links between Ireland and the US, Dublin Airport is also using the integrated system to support a new facility with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which provides passenger clearance in Ireland on departing flights to the US. This allows a fluid transition to the U.S. immigration and customs service on arrival; improving the border control process and heightening passenger flow” efficiency levels. A comprehensive security solution was required for T2. It needed to integrate with a number of critical airport systems intended to run over the newly designed network, as well as integrate with legacy systems and be controlled from a consolidated central point for better management.

ADT was chosen for this project due to its reputation for providing high quality systems in the safety and security market. It was the ideal choice for SITA to partner with ADT for the design, implementation, and support of the video security system.

The city of Freeport, Texas has selected ADT to provide and install the first phase of a wireless video surveillance system to help reduce crime in a public housing project and a marina. Later planned phases of the system will help protect critical infrastructure in one of the nation’s largest ports and home to the fourth largest oil reserve and 29 chemical companies. The city of Freeport is basically an island that is home to assets of critical importance to the nation’s economy.

Freeport is a city within the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area situated in Southeast Texas. The project’s first phase, expected to take two months to complete, will include a wireless mesh network to transmit video from IP-based cameras located throughout the city and to be recorded in city hall and monitored 24/7 in the nearby Freeport Police Department headquarters. The first cameras will monitor a large apartment complex, where drug trafficking, vandalism and illegal dumping have been a concern. The system, when completed, also will monitor Freeport’s public marina, providing boat owners with the capability to log onto an Internet site to check the security of their boats.

An access control system will be installed to limit entry to the docks. The second phase of the project will add cameras to monitor three bridges that provide the only vehicular access to the city located between the Gulf of Mexico and an intra-coastal waterway. At that time, major chemical companies are also expected to link their surveillance cameras to provide a system capable of monitoring a larger area. Later phases will expand the system to cover a sports complex, area high schools and the downtown shopping district. The entire multimillion dollar project is expected to be completed in 2012.

 Funding for the system will come from federal grants, the Freeport Economic Development Corp., Port Freeport, the local port authority, and the city’s major petrochemical companies. This is a situation where the politicians, business owners and the area’s chemical companies are all pulling together for the benefit of the entire city.

Tim Hortons selected ADT as the security integrator for a new video and access control system at its headquarters in Ontario. Tim Hortons is the fourth largest publicly-traded quick service restaurant chain in North America based on market capitalization, and the largest in Canada. Its Canadian headquarters, located in Oakville, Ontario, oversees 3,750 fast food restaurants, including 3,148 in Canada and 602 in the United States.

 An opportunity for ADT arose from Tim Hortons discontent with a previously installed security systems. Following a lengthy evaluation process, company officials selected ADT as the security integrator for access control and video surveillance systems. During the pilot phase, ADT installed six access control readers and 10 IP cameras and assisted with the Genetec software installation and set-up. ADT has since successfully installed a complete access control and video surveillance system at Tim Hortons’ Calgary distribution center which is federated to the Oakville, Ontario headquarters. This will allow the customer’s IT group to assist with the Calgary site when necessary and give them the ability to retrieve information from the headquarter location as well. The ADT Canada team was able to meet and even exceed Tim Hortons high expectations.

The sales and service team maintained a close relationship with the customer from the beginning stages. ADT demonstrated a high level of service and provided dedicated resources every step of the way. Key ADT contributors to this account include, Jean-Paul AmaraIan, National Accounts Representative, Ian MacConnell, Installer, Mike McQuillan, Project Manager, Mahinder Brar, Installation Manager, Sherri Ireland, Director, Operations and Terence Kilgore Manager, Pre-sales Engineering -- all based in Canada.

Expanding on its existing relationship with The Port Authority of Ceuta, ADT extended its contract to improve the port’s access control system, based in the southern Spanish city of Ceuta. This commercial port transports passengers, vehicles and cargo from the Ceuta to northern African countries and is also increasing its maritime traffic to serve commercial trade transfers along the Atlantic-Mediterranean seas. ADT has integrated all the access control and security systems in the west dock using the Software House C•CURE platform.

An extension of the existing access control system was installed in the vehicle boarding areas to restrict access to and from the port. ADT Spain has enjoyed a strong relationship with the Port Authority for the past two years, winning several contracts to help enhance port security and improve passenger safety.

ADT has been working for more than 25 years with Carrefour in Spain, providing video surveillance, intrusion detection and access control systems. ADT recently expanded its agreement, becoming the sole supplier of video surveillance systems for all of Carrefour’s stores in Spain. Over the past 40 years, the Carrefour group has grown to become the largest retailer in Europe and the second largest worldwide.

 Carrefour currently operates over 15,000 stores and franchises. The four main grocery store formats are hypermarkets, supermarkets, hard discount and convenience stores. The ADT contract covers the renewal, upgrade and adaptation of the video systems in each hypermarket. As part of Carrefour’s “Nocturnal Shut Down” project, the goal is to provide extended coverage and remote management of the video systems for CCTV equipment installed before 2005. Video systems will be renewed in 119 Carrefour centers using a leasing arrangement with full service maintenance contracts extending out six years for a total of 147 centers.

The video equipment is located in strategic centers of the Carrefour Group, including offices, stores and hypermarkets. With the new project in place, Carrefour will have total access to all the cameras and direct management of the domes and video recorders. This win is significant because of the large revenue impact and the extended six-year contractual term. This helps ensure service continuity for existing and new store openings and provides an opportunity to layer in other technologies going forward.

 ADT won this contract after more than two years of negotiations and adapting the terms and conditions to meet the customers’ changing requirements. The video surveillance solution will help protect Carrefour’s employees, shoppers and distribution centers. Key contacts and contributors to this win include Eduardo Jerez Tejada, Hilario Martin Galan and Alberto Sanchez Ballesteros.

ADT Germany will provide Fachmarktzentrum Oststeinbek a combination of fire and security solutions to cover an area of approximately 9000m², including shops such as Real and MediaMarkt. ADT worked with the customer, a general contractor, two years ago on a joint project in a hotel in Berlin.

Our offering covers the whole low-voltage solution including a fire detection system, ELA, SAT aerial and GPS reception system. It also covers intrusion detection, CCTV, escape route safety and passive data network and telecommunication. In addition, we won a service contact for fire detection, intrusion detection and ELA.

 

Installation work is expected to be completed in mid September and will be carried out during store opening hours, partly at night. Well done Matthias Mennicken, Account Manager and Thomas Rentsch, Project Execution, for negotiating and winning this contract.
