"Leading solar farm integrates its Physical and electronic surveillance to reduce cost & enhance proactiveness. They have over 150 farms across south India and lacked central monitoring and actionable capabilities"
Pain points of Solar Farm
Complexity of pan Inida infrastructure
With 12% losses due to stolen panels and elephant grass fires, security was a sensitive subject for the client. Farms were spread across 5 states and there was no central command centre to monitor the safety state of the farms on real time basis.
High Security Cost
With average 8%-10% increase in minimum wage, the cost of physical security was escalating beyond budget year on year with no scope in site to control it in future. Dependency on physical security had to be reduced to reduce cost.
Non reliable security apparatus
Solely depending on physical guarding has its own risks of low reliability. Lack of synchronization with electronic surveillance was a lost opportunity for the organization.
