Case Study: Sharp Fukuyama Laser achieves 90% lower operating costs with Verkada

How Sharp Fukuyama Laser Reduced Operating Costs by 90% with Verkada

Sharp Fukuyama Laser, a leader in semiconductor and laser manufacturing, needed a better way to manage security at its Fukuyama plant. Relying on outsourced guards for patrols and monitoring was becoming increasingly costly, and the company wanted a more efficient way to track people and vehicles, respond to incidents in real time, and centralize security operations. Sharp turned to Verkada’s integrated security platform, including cameras, access control, and intercoms.

Verkada implemented a unified, technology-driven security system that used advanced camera analytics, centralized management, and existing LAN infrastructure to simplify deployment. The results were significant: Sharp Fukuyama Laser reduced operating costs by 90%, cut installation costs by more than 50%, and reduced incident investigation time from hours to minutes. The company also improved privacy management and is planning to expand its use of Verkada further.
