1. SynopSYS Security & Building Management Solution
Helps Secure Major UK Jewellery Chain
Aurum is one of the largest luxury jewellery chains in the UK, offering prestigious
jewellery brands including Watches of Switzerland, Mappin & Webb and Goldsmiths. The
chain operates 100+ stores throughout the UK.
The Challenge

which led to substantial losses. To combat these robberies, Aurum had security smoke
manufacturer Concept Smoke Screen’s devices installed throughout their branches. The
smoke generators work by flooding the window areas of the stores with huge amounts
of smoke upon activation, blocking the jewellery from the robbers’ vision.
Concept Smoke Screen required a flexible and fully integrated management solution to
provide real-time visibility and status of all devices. The solution would have to enable
Smoke Screen to remotely monitor all devices 24/7, and to remotely respond to an event
involving the devices.
