Inland Empire: access control

Access Control for Manufacturing Facilities in the Inland Empire

The short answer

BTI Communications Group, LTD. is a commercial security integrator with an office in Santa Fe Springs serving the Inland Empire, in business for over 40 years. We install access control for Inland Empire plants, from food and beverage producers to building products, metal and equipment makers in Corona, Riverside, Chino and Ontario. BTI has no Inland Empire office and serves the region from Santa Fe Springs, about 26 miles from Ontario and 39 miles from Riverside in a straight line. California licenses ACO #7670 and C-7 807767. Call 562-298-5070.

Requirements

What Inland Empire manufacturers ask for

  • Zones that match the floor: production, tool cribs, maintenance, chemical storage, server rooms and shipping.
  • Badges tied to shifts and training, so only qualified people enter certain areas.
  • Contractor and vendor credentials that expire when the job ends.
  • Door logs that answer customer audits and safety reviews.
  • Gates and employee parking controlled by the same platform as the building.
  • Hardware that survives dust, vibration and wash down areas.

Recommended setup

Recommended access control setup

Plants in Corona, Riverside, Chino, Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga range from small machine shops to large food and building products operations. The setup below scales across that range.

Perimeter

Gate readers, employee parking control and a staffed or intercom entry for visitors.

Production zones

Readers on doors into production, with groups by shift, line and training.

Restricted rooms

Tool cribs, chemical storage, maintenance and server rooms on a short access list.

Contractors

Temporary credentials tied to a sponsor and an end date.

Credentials

Durable cards or fobs for the floor, mobile credentials for managers.

Hardware

Readers and enclosures rated for dust, moisture and vibration where needed.

Video

Cameras on restricted doors and shipping so each event has a clip.

Zones that follow the production floor

Every plant is laid out differently, so BTI maps zones with your plant manager before choosing hardware. Production lines, maintenance shops, tool cribs, chemical storage and server rooms each get their own access group, and badges can follow training records so only qualified staff open a given door.

Shift schedules keep the floor locked to anyone outside their shift, and holiday and shutdown schedules are loaded once for the year.

Contractors, vendors and audits

Plants bring in contractors for maintenance, installs and shutdowns. BTI issues temporary credentials tied to a sponsor and an end date, so access stops when the job ends, and keeps the door logs that customer audits and safety programs ask for.

CMMC and other compliance work is completed and contracted by BTI and its partners, including top industry professionals in each category.

Plant networks and door controllers

Door controllers live on the plant network, often near production equipment. BTI places access control on its own network segment, keeps firmware current and watches controller health through the 24/7 NOC/SOC, so a door problem is found before a shift change.
