Protecting Your Manufacturing Business
Manufacturing Security Systems for Industrial & Regulated Facilities
Manufacturing and Distribution facilities face security challenges that office buildings and retail environments never encounter. Large footprints, multiple shifts, contractors, compliance requirements, and high-risk operations demand security systems designed specifically for industrial environments.
Umbrella Security provides access control, video surveillance, and emergency notification systems purpose-built for manufacturing plants—supporting single facilities and multi-site manufacturers nationwide. Our solutions help manufacturers protect people, assets, operations, and compliance posture without disrupting production.
Comprehensive Surveillance
Access Control Systems
Intrusion Detection
Tailored Security Plans
Trusted by Leading Manufacturers
Without a manufacturing-focused approach, security systems quickly become fragmented, difficult to manage, and risky from a compliance standpoint.
Umbrella Security designs systems that address real-world plant conditions, not theoretical office layouts.
Security Challenges Unique to Manufacturing & Distribution Facilities
Umbrella Security Systems is dedicated to providing top-tier security solutions tailored for the manufacturing sector. With years of experience, we understand the unique challenges faced by plant managers and operations teams. Our mission is to deliver reliable and innovative security technologies that ensure the safety of your facilities and personnel, allowing you to focus on productivity and growth.
Manufacturing environments introduce complexity that generic security systems aren’t built to handle:
Large indoor and outdoor footprints
Multiple entry points, docks, and restricted areas
High employee turnover and shift-based access needs
Contractors, vendors, and visitors requiring temporary access
Safety incidents, theft, and intellectual property risk
Regulatory audits and documentation requirements
Convergence of IT, OT, and physical security systems
“We worked very closely with Tom and Zach through the quoting process and chose their business to outfit our 80,000sq/ft manufacturing and office space in Itasca Illinois. Their dedication to finding the best solution at a respectable cost all while being honest and forthcoming won them our business and we are planning other systems for future locations with Umbrella. Thanks again!!”

Access Control Systems for Manufacturing and Distribution Plants
Control who can access critical areas—without slowing operations.
Our manufacturing access control solutions support:
Role-based access for employees, contractors, and vendors
Our role-based access control ensures individuals only enter areas required for their job function, shift, and authorization level. This reduces internal risk, improves safety, and helps manufacturers enforce least-privilege access across production floors, labs, warehouses, and critical infrastructure zones. Temporary and contractor access can be automatically time-limited, eliminating manual badge tracking and reducing compliance exposure.
Badge, mobile credential, and multi-factor authentication
Umbrella Security deploys flexible credentialing options, including physical badges, secure mobile credentials, and multi-factor authentication for high-risk areas. This allows manufacturers to balance convenience and security while supporting modern workforce expectations. Multi-factor authentication adds an additional layer of protection for sensitive environments, helping prevent unauthorized access, credential sharing, and tailgating incidents.
Integration with HR systems, time & attendance, and safety platforms
Our access control systems integrate directly with HR, time and attendance, and safety platforms to automate onboarding, role changes, and offboarding. When employee status or job function changes, access permissions update automatically—reducing administrative overhead and preventing orphaned credentials. This integration supports accurate labor tracking, safety compliance, and real-time visibility across manufacturing operations.
Full audit trails to support FDA, ISO, and GMP requirements
Every access event is logged with detailed time stamps, credential data, and door activity to create a complete, defensible audit trail. These records support FDA, ISO, and GMP audits by demonstrating controlled access to regulated areas and critical processes. Audit-ready reporting simplifies inspections, investigations, and internal reviews while reducing the risk of compliance violations.
Scalable designs for future plant expansion
Umbrella designs access control systems with scalability built in from day one, allowing manufacturers to add doors, users, and facilities without re-architecting the system. Whether expanding a single plant or onboarding new locations, our designs support seamless growth and centralized management. This future-ready approach protects long-term investment and supports evolving operational and compliance requirements.
Whether securing production floors, labs, warehouses, or critical infrastructure areas, Umbrella builds access control systems that balance security, safety, and operational efficiency.

“Before working with Umbrella Security, many of our systems at Nielsen-Massey Vanillas were outdated, expensive to maintain, and difficult to manage. We needed a modern, easy-to-use solution that could protect our high-value inventory and give us faster answers when something went wrong. Umbrella delivered exactly that. Their team implemented access control, video monitoring, alarms, and humidity sensors across multiple buildings, and the hands-on, local support made a real difference. The humidity monitoring in particular has become a critical tool for protecting our vanilla beans, which are an extremely costly commodity for us. Everything is now mobile, easy to access, and gives me real peace of mind—especially knowing exactly who is in the building in the event of an emergency. Umbrella truly feels like a one-stop shop that cares about our business, and I would absolutely recommend them to other companies.”
