Case Study: Akron Bio digitizes and automates security operations with Verkada

How a Leading Ancillary Manufacturer Digitized and Automated Security Operations

Akron Bio, a leading healthcare and biotechnology manufacturer, needed to replace an aging, analog security setup as it expanded into a new 125,000-square-foot facility. The company was managing cameras, access control, and visitor check-in through disjointed on-premise systems and paper logbooks, with no easy remote access or scalable way to handle growing visitor traffic.

Verkada provided Akron Bio with a unified cloud-based security platform that combined video security, access control, and Verkada Guest visitor management. With Verkada, Akron Bio digitized check-ins, added NDA signing and photo capture, enabled touchless Bluetooth access, and integrated cameras for faster investigations; Ray Dempz said investigations now take less than an hour and often just 15 minutes.
