If you drive into Wisconsin from Illinois on Interstate 94, you will see warehouses galore. Starting near the border and continuing through Kenosha towards Racine, you see larger and larger storage facilities housing goods from across the United States.

That’s good business for Wisconsin. When it comes to security for these types of facilities, H&S Protection is here to help.

For most large storage facilities, access control and video coverage are key components for ensuring only the correct people are onsite when they are supposed to be. With potentially hundreds of trucks accessing sites at places like Amazon and Uline, potential exists for the wrong people to get onsite. Additionally, coverage of inventory (theft and damage) can become an issue.

That’s why when H&S works with larger warehouses we spend extra time walking the site, and listening to facility managers before taking any next steps. We need to find out their concerns. We need to understand the who, what, when and where about protection.

Then we proceed, designing the best plan that gives them the coverage they need. That typically includes some form of specific access system along with security cameras for use and feedback when an issue of concern arises. We’ve found it critically important for warehouse facility managers to be able to scroll back through video to isolate and resolve problems.

Warehouses aren’t limited to the I-94 stretch of Wisconsin. There is a growing economic movement the past 25-30 years where more goods are shipped by companies all across the country. Large facilities populate many areas of our state, and H&S provides expertise and coverage anywhere in Wisconsin — even beyond the state’s borders.
