Warehouses are some of the most heavily-trafficked areas of any office park or corporate facility. It’s where most of the important business takes place, with huge stocks of inventory, manufacturing equipment, and constant shipping schedules.

The warehouse is the work center of the entire operation – and your business would fall if it were compromised. That’s why it’s so important to have the best security systems in place for your warehouses. It only takes one crime to prove the devastating impact of what lost assets can mean for your company. To prevent that from occurring, you can invest in a certified remote guarding command center. At Elite Interactive Solutions, we have the tools and professional resources available to upgrade your warehouse security systems.

In the meantime, we want to provide you with some of our top tips to improve warehouse security. Here’s what you can do to stay safe.

1. Create an Emergency Response System

Responding to emergencies can make or break the crime prevention process. Clear communication is key to handling emergencies in a safe and professional way. The OSHA urges all employers to have a plan for employees to follow in case of an emergency.

Our specialized remote security systems are event-driven, meaning they can be programmed to respond effectively in the event of an emergency. Plus, there are always agents watching to ensure that your employees and your products are safe in any situation. Our proactive tools allow us to encourage a thorough and effective emergency response system.

2. Protect Your Perimeters

Whether your warehouse is large or small, there are many surrounding perimeters that must be protected. It can be difficult to survey the exterior and interior at once, at least not without the proper security systems in place.

The bigger your warehouse, the more vulnerable it is to potential crime. By investing in our professional security measures, you can choose advanced systems that will prevent unauthorized entry to your warehouse and the surrounding areas.

Our certified remote security systems include glass-break detection, door-lock systems, video and IP cameras, and other high-end surveillance techniques. We can monitor your surroundings 24/7 with live 360 degree virtual views ensuring that nobody gets in who isn’t supposed to.

3. Implement Stricter Access Requirements

You and your employees have a system of honor that creates trust when you employ them for important work. However, that doesn’t mean that your employees should be left unsupervised – especially around important equipment and inventory. You can implement security lock systems which will allow or prevent entry to certain individuals at a time.

There are many ways of using an access system. You can have a swipe card, a specialized code, a key fob, or even fingerprint access. You can limit certain people to certain doors only and allow people with higher security rankings to get in anywhere.

4. Get Motion Detection Systems

Something that makes our remote guard systems unique is that we have military-grade motion detection technology equipped in all of our packages. You can utilize this to detect whenever there is suspicious or notable movement within and without your warehouse.

Whenever a sensor is tripped by movement, the security system will respond rapidly, alerting guards and remote agents right away. This proactive approach to motion detection can catch a criminal in the act or implement harder security measures in the event of trespassing or danger.

Those of us in the design business know that kitchen trends can be fickle and quick to change. It can be hard to keep up with new kitchen elements and their popularity status. Here are the latest, greatest, and most up-to-date kitchen design trends for 2018.

Vintage Lighting

Lighting is one element that can influence the style of an entire room. Vintage, or vintage-inspired, lighting is romantic, nostalgic, historical, and most importantly, in. This can include antique sconces and lamps that add not just visual interest, but contextual interest – making your guests wonder, “Wow, I wonder what era that’s from?”

Vintage lighting pairs beautifully with Vadara Quartz New 2018 Giallo Onyx Quartz countertops, which feature deep browns and dark yellows reminiscent of antique-style home furnishings. Giallo Onyx also shines effortlessly when backlit, making it a perfect compliment to your lighting design choices. Vadara Quartz New 2018 Ocean Sand Quartz is a more modern, yet still elegant, choice to go with your vintage lighting. It has a muted, off-white tone inspired by the calming white sand of the Spanish beaches. Ocean Sand pairs well with the romantic and antique elements of your vintage lighting.

 

Fewer Upper Cabinets

Have you ever been a guest in someone’s home, looking for a coffee mug or water glass, opening and shutting every cabinet because you didn’t know your way around their kitchen? Making the kitchen more guest-friendly is just one reason people are replacing upper cabinets with open shelves. People are also choosing open shelving so they can display Grandma’s hand-me-down teacups, yard sale finds, or special pottery along with their everyday items.

Especially if you have a smallish or galley-style kitchen, cabinets can give the feeling of a closed-in space. Open shelving in place of one or two cabinets make the room feel more “airy.”  Another common vision is to open the kitchen to more natural light by taking down wall cabinets on the sides of a window.

With an open and airy kitchen that is full of light, you naturally want sparkling quartz countertops that have a cool, bright appearance. Vadara Quartz New 2018 Bianco Molasa Quartz has a rich landscape of light and bold veining that streak across the surface of a bright white base. Vadara Quartz New 2018 Bianco Onyx Quartz “lights up” any interior space with its cool, bright presence. It is part of Vadara Quartz’s translucent backlit collection – it has a cloudy finish that shines when lit.

 

Gray Cabinetry

Homeowners are breaking away from white kitchens and heading into a ‘gray area’ that’s warm, sophisticated and will be very much in vogue for 2018 and beyond. According to design insiders, the look started about five years ago, and really took off in 2017 with bold trend-setters.

The shade of gray you choose is important, as it will contribute to the overall mood and finish of your kitchen. If you are designing in a contemporary motif, choose a medium shade like ash gray, standard gray and cool gray to project a laid-back luxury feel. If you are more traditional, go with a dark, smoky gray such as charcoal gray, nickel gray and gray-green for the richest look.

If your kitchen has a contemporary design, enhance it with Vadara Quartz New 2018 Brushed Salt Quartz countertops. This color was created specifically with upgrading your kitchen to a new, modern era in mind. It is ultra-contemporary and textured to the touch. Its neutral color will compliment, not compete with, your bold-colored cabinetry. For a traditional kitchen, choose Vadara Quartz New 2018 Laneve Quartz for your countertops. This classic, neutral quartz has an appealing depth and texture due to its thin veining featuring random movement and patterns. It will be a great compliment to your gray cabinets because of its neutral color and polished finish.
