7 Crucial Measures To Improve Warehouse Security

 Being industrial project consultants in Bangalore, we often come across concerns from our clients regarding the security of their projects, especially warehouses. Can you design a high-security warehouse for us? What security measures are suitable for our business? Will it cost too much? And similar questions are often asked by the clients. And why not? No eCommerce business is immune to stealing after all. Plus, if your products have a high customer demand, they are often more prone to theft. 

Hence, in the following section, we have provided some of the most useful security measures that businesses can get implemented in their warehouses to safeguard their products and goods. Read on to know.

7 Crucial Measures/Tools To Improve Warehouse Security

Security Cameras

Security cameras are useful to capture high-definition footage of an area. Installing these not only acts as warning signs to thieves but also monitors the day-to-day activities at the warehouse. They also take care that no insider steals from the business products. Moreover, the footage captured is uploaded directly to the server. This makes easy the identification of thieves, and also saves proof of them tampering with the cameras and other hardware.

Lighting

Warehouses that are not well-lit tend to protect the interest of thieves and make it easy for them to steal goods. Not just that, it also leads to safety hazards for warehouse staff and employees. Hence, to prevent theft and accidents on site, it is essential to install and maintain efficient warehouse lighting. 

Alarms

We’ve often seen how alarms help reduce theft attempts, call the police and stop the thieves within time. Similar is the case here. Knowing about the presence of security alarms makes thieves be tight on time limits so either they won’t steal or won’t steal as much as they planned. Also, policy and other security guards can arrive at the location within time to detain them.

Patrols

Security guards can patrol the different areas of the campus to make sure there aren’t any intruders or trespassers roaming in the blind spots of the security cameras. 

Access Control Systems

Where warehouses accommodate high-priced products, access control systems play the best security measures. They make it difficult for the stealers to get hold of valuable stock and hence reduce the risk of theft.

Security At Entrance

Of course, security at the warehouse entrance is important. With poor locks, one can easily pass through the gate and access the interiors. Hence, strong and secure locks should be installed to increase the security at the entrance. 

Security At Windows

In addition to the entrance, the ground-level windows if any should also be strongly secured to prevent thieves from breaking in. Using reinforced glasses, window covers, window locking mechanisms, or steel bars can prevent attempts by thieves.
