A Case of Mistaken Identity?
26.05.2023 | 5 min read
Your warehouse is the heart of your business. The financial value of what is held in a warehouse can cripple a business’ future if compromised. As a hub of activity and investment, it's essential that you keep things as safe as possible.
Protecting your warehouse.
Warehouse security is an essential element of running a successful business. In the UK, 18% of overall retail shrinkage came from crime targeting suppliers and warehouses, making it vital to keep your warehouse well secured.
One of the key security weaknesses for businesses today comes from relying on human-only security-based systems that rely on identification cards or physical keys as the only means of access control. In recent years we've seen an increase in theft rates due to these types of methods being easily bypassed by criminals, who can simply use another person's card/key or create their own fake one using 3D printing technology.
The consequences of security breaches.
Your company's inventory can be worth tens of thousands or even millions of pounds. Having it stolen would be a disaster; personally, professionally and financially.
Our team at Sorair know from personal experience what it is like to walk into a warehouse that has been broken in to, and it is this passion to protect that has led to the development of Sorair and, more specifically, Soranet.
Having to deal with avoidable security breaches takes time, causes stress and wastes your team’s skills set. There is also the inevitable costs associated with theft, from replacing the inventory, security system updates, damage repair and increased insurance premiums.
Using AI security and robotic technology.
The right security system can help you protect your business and warehouses from theft and burglary. A sophisticated security system can use technology to:
monitor employees, contractors and visitors to your warehouse
monitor areas of the warehouse and related buildings that aren't accessible by humans, such as rooftops or crawl spaces using robotic security systems
learn from previous events, behaviours and data so that future threats can be predicted more accurately, efficiently and cost-effectively
AI security systems paired with robotic technology can provide all elements of a sophisticated security system as noted above.

The solution.
One way you can protect your warehouse is by installing Soranet. Soranet is a central intelligence platform that uses drones, advanced sensors and CCTV cameras to track real-time activity across large sites, making your security strategies more effective, efficient and safe.
The CCTV cameras use AI software to compare faces of anyone entering your facility with the database stored on their ID card. If there's a match, then they're allowed to enter. If not, they won't be able to get in; protecting your staff, stock and premises.
Facial recognition technology is becoming increasingly popular among warehouses because it can prevent theft by ensuring that only authorized employees are allowed access. Not only is access prevented to those who are not using the correct ID, but if someone tries entering without permission or using an invalid ID card, then this will trigger an alarm at once. Your autonomous security system will kick in and your drones will do to discover more, with you being able to see and access all information via the app on your phone/ computer.
Your autonomous security system can also be used to monitor the movement of items throughout your facility; protecting you from stock misplacement and even protecting your clients from being impacted by lost stock. For example, if a box containing expensive electronic equipment moves from one area of the warehouse into another without authorisation, you'll know about it immediately thanks to the AI technology used in your warehouse.
