On top of all this, the hospital has a life-saving emergency department, open 24 hours a day.

Pre-existing situation & UTCFS’s role

Naestved Sygehus was already a satisfied customer of UTCFS, using one of its access control systems. The hospital's management wanted to update its existing security arrangements to an integrated platform providing a better overall view of the various systems protecting this complex site and its many buildings. The new integrated arrangement needed to be more efficient than the hospital’s existing systems and incorporate access control, intrusion detection and video surveillance. As with the existing access control system, it needed to cover all important doors in the hospital and several ‘priority use’ elevators. With these requirements in mind Naestved Sygehus turned to UTCFS for a solution.

UTCFS’s solution

Naestves Sygehus is now using UTCFS’s ATS Master platform to manage both access control and intrusion detection through a single control panel. This technology allows the hospital to give staff and patients access rights to appropriate areas whenever necessary, and is sufficiently flexible to easily change these when patients move wards or if staff switch shifts or departments. To integrate its various security systems, the hospital uses UTCFS’s Alliance integrated security management platform. This easy-to-use solution provides a graphical overview of the complete site, in several layers and with every detail a user could need. It enables the hospital to install new, integrated video surveillance with which it will be able to visually monitor and verify any event. Naestves Sygehus now has an effective system boasting an integrated overview of all the information needed to protect and manage the security of this complex site.
