Overview
Access Control and Security
Access Control and Security Systems in
Security and access control have become non-negotiable components of , where strict hygiene, worker safety, and facility protection are paramount. Modern access control systems not only manage who enters critical areas but also log movements, enforce compliance, and minimize contamination risks. From production zones and cold storage to chemical handling areas, integrated security systems ensure smooth, safe, and efficient operations. Access and surveillance infrastructure must also meet regulatory standards while being adaptable to dynamic production environments.
FACILITY AUTOMATION PRO plays a pivotal role in advancing this sub-industry by offering tailored solutions across North America. As a B2B leader in manufacturing technologies, we combine industry expertise, high-performance systems, and a customer-first approach to help and beverage manufacturers establish safer, smarter, and more compliant facilities.

These reliable, high-quality products and systems enhance our ability to deliver comprehensive technologies, integrations, and services you can trust. Where relevant, we have provided direct links to select products and systems from GAO Tek Inc. and GAO RFID Inc.
IoT in Access Control and Security
IoT-powered systems deliver real-time surveillance, access monitoring, and smart alerts, helping and beverage manufacturers maintain full visibility over sensitive areas. Using interconnected sensors and devices, businesses can detect intrusions, track access logs, and trigger instant alerts for unauthorized movements. In high-risk zones like raw material storage or chemical mixing areas, IoT systems enable proactive risk management and help meet FDA, OSHA, and safety standards. These smart systems can be remotely monitored and controlled for added operational agility.
- IoT-enabled smart door locks
- Wireless intrusion detection sensors
- Remote surveillance and alert systems
- RFID-enabled personnel tracking
- Biometric access systems with cloud integration
Networks in Facility Security
A secure and robust network infrastructure is essential for the seamless operation of access control systems. In and beverage plants, wired and wireless networks facilitate secure communication between control systems, surveillance devices, and central monitoring stations. Encrypted network protocols protect against data breaches and ensure compliance with data privacy laws. With network segmentation and VLANs, manufacturers can isolate sensitive systems and prevent lateral threats across departments.
- Encrypted local area networks (LAN)
- Wireless mesh networks for industrial environments
- VLAN configurations for access segmentation
- Firewall and intrusion detection appliances
- Network access control (NAC) systems
Environmental Technologies in Security Systems
Environmental controls complement access systems by integrating temperature, humidity, and air quality monitoring with physical security measures. In processing zones, sudden environmental changes can indicate unauthorized access, equipment failure, or contamination risks. Environmental monitoring systems can be programmed to alert facility managers and restrict access until conditions stabilize. This integration supports both product safety and facility security.
- Temperature and humidity alert sensors
- Air quality monitors for contamination detection
- Environmental data integration with access logs
- Smart HVAC override in sensitive zones
- Real-time climate-based access restrictions
Chemical & Water Technologies
Security systems in must also account for chemical handling and water treatment zones. Integrated systems control access to chemical storage rooms and water filtration units, ensuring only certified personnel can enter. Emergency response features, such as automatic shutoff controls and gas leak alerts, are tied into access logs to track incidents in real-time and minimize damage.
- Restricted access control for chemical areas
- Automated safety interlocks for chemical handling
- Water contamination alert systems
- Chemical spill detection linked to facility alarms
- Personnel ID-based chemical dispenser controls
Structural Technologies for Physical Security
Physical barriers, secure door frames, reinforced enclosures, and smart gates form the first line of defense. In and beverage environments, these elements must be hygienic, corrosion-resistant, and seamlessly integrated into the plant design. Structural technologies are essential for creating secured zones that are also easy to sanitize. Paired with electronic access controls, they provide reliable containment without disrupting workflows.
- Stainless-steel access enclosures
- Tamper-proof door and lock frames
- Hygienic anti-tailgating turnstiles
- Secure equipment cabinets with biometric access
- Access-controlled conveyor enclosures
Electrical Technologies in Access and Security
Electrical systems are the backbone of smart access infrastructure. From power distribution to backup systems, electrical reliability ensures continuous operation of security protocols. Integration of UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) units and surge protection is critical for uninterrupted surveillance and alarm systems, especially during power fluctuations common in industrial settings.
- Smart control panels for access systems
- UPS systems for backup power
- Electrical surge protection for security hardware
- Electrified door strikes and magnetic locks
- Emergency power override systems
