Drones instead of security guard: YADOS relies on advanced tech

The medium-sized company YADOS secures its premises with automated drone surveillance and sensors. The video data is transmitted securely via Telekom’s mobile network.

"We have a central contact for all matters concerning our new security concept. And thanks to the rental model, we remain flexible and also have the assurance of always being technologically up to date.“

Olaf Besser, authorized officer YADOS GmbH

Three steps to an IoT use case

Challenge

With the expansion of production areas in Hoyerswerda, YADOS faced the challenge of reliably securing its extensive company premises. Alternatives to the classic security guard were required due to the doubled area. Increasing staff or an alternative all-round video surveillance threatened to exceed the budget.

Solution

YADOS opted for a digital security concept based on fully automated drone surveillance and intelligent sensor technology. Sensors and cameras monitor the outdoor area and report suspicious activities in real time via Deutsche Telekom’s mobile network. An AI cloud platform analyzes the data and activates a drone if necessary, which flies directly to the incident location and transmits live images to the control center. The drone not only ensures a quick response in case of an alarm, but also performs automated patrol flights—keeping the premises seamlessly monitored.

Customer benefit

The automated solution significantly reduces the cost of securing the company premises and offers higher security than a classic security guard. YADOS benefits from a flexible, scalable technology that is ready for use around the clock and can be adapted to new requirements at any time. Thanks to its partner network, Telekom can deliver the complete system from a single source.
