Challenge
The Lidl

The Lidl brand was founded in Germany and has grown into one of Europe’s leading food retailers. When the company began planning the construction of more than 50,000 m2 of new distribution centres across the UK, they needed highly secure premises with efficient haulage traffic throughput. This necessitated a centralised access control system which could meet the demands of 24-hour vehicle access in all of the regional distribution centres, whilst being flexible enough to provide remote system maintenance and auditing from a central control point. When we were asked to provide the new access system, the requirements were clear:

  • A cost-effective solution
  • A scalable IP access control system
  • Modern high-qualitydesign
  • Products that can withstand the most demanding weather conditions
  • Simple installation and administration
The 2N products / solutions which have been used in this project:
  • 2N IP Verso
  • 2N IP Force 
  • 2N Access Commander

Solution Our partner decided to utilize the following products from the 2N portfolio:

2N IP Verso

Each site features multiple vehicle and pedestrian access locations, some on 'gooseneck' stands – at dual heights for both haulage vehicles and staff cars – and some single height units at door/gate access points.

Access validation is done via intercom video calls (to security, reception and logistics offices) from 2N IP Verso audio-visual intercoms featuring a colour camera and additional 5 Call Button Module.

2N IP Force

2N IP Force intercoms were installed at the areas with higher-than-normal ambient noise levels, using the 4 Call Buttons and integrated camera. The wide-angle HD camera monitors events around the intercom and has 135° wide viewing with a night vision model. It is also the toughest IP intercom on the market, combining an anti-vandal solution with an elegant design.

The simple integration to the existing central phone system allowed the 2N IP intercoms to provide flexible communication with incoming and remote door/gate openings. The configuration and management of the complete access system is ensured by 2N Access Commander.

"This was a very large project to undertake. When we were reviewing the options, our focus was on finding an already proven, reliable solution with excellent usability. 2N was certainly able to provide that and exceeded our expectations in terms of service via the distribution partner and the efficiencies they were able to deliver"
