Elevating Security For A Global Retail Sports Brand

Setting The Scene…

A distribution facility presented unique security and safety challenges and required an innovative approach beyond traditional methods. With a compact site layout, regular facility inspections, and a need for both security monitoring and health and safety insight, Corps Security identified drone technology as the ideal enhancement to existing security infrastructure.

In partnership with Security Drone Group (SDG), Corps Security conducted a comprehensive 24-hour trial to evaluate drone capabilities across day and night operations, demonstrating transformative potential for the facility’s security protocols.

Security Challenges

The distribution centre faced several specific challenges, including…

Prevention of theft in a high-value retail environment
Risk of vandalism and unauthorised access to the facility
Ensuring safety across expansive parking areas
Need for regular roof inspections without manual intervention
Requirement for rapid response to security incidents

Cutting-edge Drone Deployment

After a detailed site assessment was carried out, Corps Security showcased the cutting-edge M4TD drone system with sophisticated AI tracking technology.

The implementation included:

Smart tracking capabilities to identify and follow people and vehicles
Customised flight patterns at 65m height, optimised to minimise bird interaction
Strategic dock placement on the facility roof with continuous power supply
Integration with existing security systems for seamless operation
28x digital zoom camera providing detailed surveillance capability
Six directional sensors for obstacle detection and avoidance

Transformative Results

The drone security system delivered immediate and measurable improvements…

Superior response time: The system delivered a 45-second response time to triggered alarms, providing immediate visual intelligence to security personnel during potential incidents.

Enhanced surveillance: The drone’s comprehensive patrol capability completed a full perimeter check in just 6 minutes, covering the entire site.

Dual-functionality operations: The solution provided distinct benefits across the facility’s operational schedule…
Night operations: Thermal imaging revealing blind spots and areas shaded by trailers and canopies, enhancing night-time security.
Day operations: Enabling efficient health & safety inspections and roof assessments without manual intervention.

Efficient inspections: The system can perform solar panel inspections at 2mph, completing the task in just 6 minutes – this is significantly faster than manual methods and also eliminates safety risks to personnel.

Cloud-based recording: All surveillance footage is automatically uploaded to secure cloud storage, allowing security teams to review recorded video at any time from any authorised location.

Advanced integration: The system’s AI capabilities provided intelligent threat detection and analysis, which significantly reduces false alarms while maintaining comprehensive security coverage.
