About The Customer
Hutson Inc. is a dealership for John Deere, a renowned manufacturer of agricultural, construction, and forestry machinery. The company operates 13 locations, with the initial focus being on their site in Paducah, KY. This site features a display lot of over 88,000 square feet and a building with more than 14,000 square feet. The company's management understands that some customers prefer to walk the lot and view the tractors and other equipment after hours without being approached by a salesperson. Therefore, they needed a security solution that would protect their assets while accommodating their customers' preferences.
The Challenge
Hutson Inc., a John Deere dealership with 13 locations, faced a significant challenge in securing their large display lot and building in Paducah, KY. The outdoor area was particularly difficult to protect due to its size and the fact that customers often wanted to view the equipment after hours without being approached by a salesperson. Hutson needed a solution that would allow customers to freely explore the lot while ensuring the protection of their assets.
The Solution
Sonitrol of Evansville designed a security system for Hutson that combined impact-activated audio on a network-based panel and a video surveillance system from 3xLOGIC. The system was designed to secure the buildings both inside and out, during business hours and after hours. The system was armed with just one keypad, which in turn armed the three combined systems. The solution also included 3xLOGIC cameras installed at all 13 locations, both inside and outdoors, for a total of more than 100 cameras spread throughout all the dealerships. The system also featured video verification alarms triggered in two ways: a yard cord looped through display equipment or motion detection located at fence perimeters.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
