PR Newswire (US)
FRANKLIN, Wis., July 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VUANCE Ltd.
(NASDAQ: VUNC), a leading provider of innovative Radio Frequency
Verification Solutions, including active RFID, electronic access
control, credentialing, accountability and incident response
management, today announced that it is delivering a new integrated
security system based on VUANCE's proprietary Managed Automated
Security Controls (MASC) system to protect the facilities for
Allens, Inc. a privately held, family-owned company, located in
Siloam Springs, Arkansas, that grows and packs vegetables under 11
well-known brand names. This is a five year-project and anticipated
to be worth approximately $5 million over the course of the
contract. The contract includes a range of VUANCE-based Security
Products with the MASC system at the heart of the integrated
system. The comprehensive security system will monitor and control
activity and movement, creating an intelligent, easy-to-use,
powerful security communications network throughout the Company's
facilities. Allens, which is working with Orion Security, a VUANCE
systems integrator, has initially implemented access control at
five facilities and, long term, expects the number of facilities to
increase to 15-20, encompassing approximately 1,500 employees. As
the system is rolled out, it will also include video surveillance,
RFID functionality for truck scales, and critical control
integrated into the MASC system. The company is reconfiguring
perimeter control at their facilities, as necessary, to optimize
the MASC system solution. "Proactive and forward-thinking
organizations are increasingly recognizing the need to securely and
effectively manage their facilities and their business assets with
the best state-of-the-art monitoring systems available to them,"
said Eyal Tuchman, Chief Executive Officer of VUANCE, Ltd. "Our
MASC system is differentiated by its more robust functionality and
flexibility than other systems on the market and by our software
and user interface capabilities that are easy to use and deploy.
The easily managed, easily accessed system provides decisive
information at any moment and especially where time is critical.
Our partnership with Allens, Inc. is delivering a best-in-class
system that uniquely meets their long-term requirements." Mike
Gatlin, Director of Safety and Security at Allens, commented, "Our
decision to implement the VUANCE system was due to several
important factors. The MASC system infrastructure and the system's
ladder logic design make this system versatile and user friendly.
To make changes, all we have to do is drag and click. Long term,
the ability to integrate the system with our programmable logic
interface was extremely important to our overall critical control.
In addition, the VUANCE staff and engineers have been very helpful,
responsive and easy to work with." About Allens, Inc. Allens has
