Logistics, warehouse and distribution centre security design
Distribution networks lose value at the gate, in the yard and during loading. Security design has to protect high-throughput cargo flow without creating delays that carriers cannot absorb.
In short
Logistics & Distribution — Cargo protection, yard control, loading dock surveillance, ANPR gate automation and multi-site monitoring for warehouses, distribution centres and freight hubs.
What makes this sector hard
- High-value cargo theft during transit, staging and loading
- Large yards with limited visibility and poor night lighting
- Carrier, contractor and visitor access churn
- Loading dock blind spots and unattended trailers
- Shrinkage across pick, pack and dispatch operations
- Multi-site estates with inconsistent protection standards
What we deliver
- Perimeter, fence-line and yard coverage strategy

Frequently asked questions
Can ANPR read plates at night and in bad weather?
Yes, when the camera position, shutter, lighting and lane geometry are designed together. We specify the full capture point, not just the camera.
Does monitoring cover only the yard and gate?
No. Coverage can include warehouse aisles, dispatch, staging and dock bays. Many clients start with gate and yard, then expand indoors.
