Case Study: Carlton & United Breweries achieves automated vehicle tracking and ROI with Genetec Security Center

Australia’s most iconic brewer realizes ROI with Security Center by automating vehicle tracking

Carlton & United Breweries (CUB) at Yatala, Queensland — a 76‑acre brewery handling over 300 vehicles daily — faced labor‑intensive, manual vehicle logging that caused 10–15‑vehicle queues and 2–3 minute processing times per truck. Seeking automated, auditable traffic management, CUB engaged a solution built around Genetec Security Center using AutoVu automatic license plate recognition and Synergis access control (implemented with a custom GUI by Hills Limited and United Technology Solutions).

Genetec’s unified platform automates plate reads, populates driver and load data, timestamps vehicle movements (T1–T4) and triggers boom gates, enabling faster validation and exit permissioning. The result: average processing time dropped to about 30 seconds per vehicle (from 2–3 minutes), AutoVu accuracy is 92.7% (above the 90% target), clearer KPIs and reporting, fewer trucks onsite, improved safety and banned‑driver enforcement — delivering measurable operational efficiencies and a clear ROI for Carlton & United Breweries.
