Scenarios.
As you are aware, problems arise with technology at any given time. Our national service program guarantees success by placing the right resources in the right place at the right time for your mission-critical projects, troubleshooting, and maintenance services.
Problem: The customer was implementing a complex project with many challenges. During this process, fiber was run, and connections were made at three different buildings on campus to integrate an integral part of the customer's fire alarm system. The customer’s vendor determined fiber issues were the reason they could not get their system to work.
Solution: The customer called IES after hours. IES assisted with the troubleshooting. Not only did IES identify a cross-connection issue, but IES educated the customer and the vendor on best practices in troubleshooting and fiber handling. The call to IES, saved time, effort, and money, resulting in a happy customer.
Problem: The customer's corporate headquarters, located out of the country, purchased highly technical thermal cameras in response to COVID-19 to be installed and integrated with the preexisting access control systems. The cameras were distributed to all U.S. production sites with seemingly little direction other than to have them installed at the close of business.
Solution: The customer called IES. IES requested that the customer's camera equipment be immediately shipped overnight to the IES Portland Branch Service Team for evaluations and bench testing. In the meantime, IES contacted the abroad manufacturer and presented a proposed building ingress design drafted and developed in-house and mocked up in real-time operation. The design would enable the cameras to take the thermal temperature reading of personnel. With the use of relays, it would now allow access to cardholders with a "green light temperature pass” to enter the building. An alarm, however, would shunt the access control system for this specific entry door. It would trigger a beacon over top of the local "next steps signage,” and the access control system would send an email alerting to mobilize the entry point for assistance. “We knew that IES would pull this off. IES deployed to the site and had the entire solution operational in less than four hours. The whole process took 48 hours with no valuable protection time lost,” stated the customer.
