Plants, distribution centers, warehouses, and industrial campuses across metro Atlanta and the Southeast rely on JB Technologies for vehicle-gate access, contractor credentials, dock-door video, perimeter detection, and OSHA- and C-TPAT-aware life-safety integration.
Manufacturing and distribution security work is judged by uptime, shrinkage, and audit findings. A factory that loses access control during second shift loses production; a DC that fails a C-TPAT audit loses customers; a warehouse without dock-door video has no answer when freight goes missing. JB Technologies designs and installs access control with vehicle-gate integration, contractor temp credentialing, dock-door and yard cameras, perimeter detection (thermal, radar, fence-mounted), OSHA-aware lockout/tagout integration, and NFPA 72-compliant fire alarm across Atlanta-area manufacturing and distribution sites. We coordinate with plant engineering, EHS, IT/OT, and HR so the system runs reliably and reports cleanly.
Each operating model has its own access pattern, audit regime, and OT/IT boundary.
Discrete and process plants with shift-based crew access, contractor permits, hazardous-area video, and integration with PLC/MES on the OT network.
High-throughput DCs with dock-door video, yard management, driver check-in, and C-TPAT or PIP audit reporting.
Pallet-rack camera coverage, freezer-area thermal cameras, and temperature-monitoring integration for FDA / USDA-regulated product.
Seed-to-sale video, vault access, METRC integration, and the high-retention recording windows state regulators require.
Wash-down-rated cameras, allergen-zone access, FSMA-aligned visitor logging, and ammonia/hazmat-area life safety.
Multi-building facilities with shared infrastructure, IP/trade-secret protected zones, and visitor escort workflows.
Hardened vehicle gates with LPR for driver check-in, contractor windows, and trailer-yard cycle counts; integration with yard-management systems and security ops.
Self-service kiosks for contractor sign-in with safety-orientation gating, temp credential issue/expiry, OSHA-required check-out, and EHS reporting.
Dedicated cameras on every dock door with overlay of WMS pick-confirm events; thermal cameras at yard perimeter for after-hours activity detection.
Fence-mounted vibration sensors, thermal cameras, and radar for large-perimeter sites where camera-only coverage is uneconomic; alerts to a SOC and ops radio.
Access control with permit-required confined-space and hot-work workflows; lock and tag verified against an authorized list before energization is permitted.
Class I Div 1/2 cameras and access devices for ammonia, dust, and solvent areas, designed against NFPA 70/NEC and the AHJ's site classification.
Industrial security overlaps with EHS, supply-chain security, and IT/OT audit regimes. Our designs are built to map onto whichever combination applies to your site.
29 CFR 1910 access and egress, NFPA 72 fire alarm, NFPA 70 / NEC equipment ratings, and ANSI Z244.1 lockout/tagout — engineered into device selection and sequence of operations.
Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism and Canadian PIP audit-ready video retention, driver check-in, container/trailer integrity workflows, and ISO 28000 supply-chain security alignment.
Food Safety Modernization Act sanitary design constraints on devices, FDA 21 CFR record retention, and state-by-state cannabis seed-to-sale recording windows (90/120/180 days depending on state).
We sit in plant-engineering meetings so the access plan respects PLC zones, OT network constraints, and shift turnover — not just front-office wishes.
C-TPAT, FDA, FSMA, and cannabis state-board audits all want the same thing: documented coverage, retention, and access policy. We deliver the binder, not raw vendor PDFs.
Active work along I-75, I-85, I-285, and the 75-South logistics corridor; we know the local fire marshals and PD jurisdictions for I-DC sites.
Local service techs and a Southeast parts inventory so a downed reader at 2am does not stall a shift change.
We walk the facility at peak and shift-change times, meet plant engineering, EHS, and IT/OT, and document the operational and audit risks the design has to address.
Riser, sequence of operations, device schedule, and a binder mapped to the audit regimes that apply (C-TPAT, FSMA, OSHA, state cannabis, etc.).
Off-shift and weekend work, OT network coordination, and contractor-orientation workflows so the install does not become its own audit finding.
Plant engineering and EHS training, witnessed acceptance test, and a service agreement structured for industrial uptime — not "best effort" service.
Self-service contractor kiosks at the main gate or guard shack with safety-orientation gating, temp credential issuance with expiry, OSHA-required check-out, and integration with your EHS or contractor-management platform (ISN, Avetta, Veriforce). Audit log is automatically formatted for site EHS reporting.
Both, by design. We segment access controllers and cameras onto a security VLAN that is firewalled from the OT network; integration to PLC/MES happens through a hardened bridge or middleware so an OT incident cannot take security offline and vice versa. We document the topology for your IT/OT audit.
Yes — C-TPAT typically wants 60-90 days; FDA and many state cannabis boards want 90-180 days; some require 1 year. We size NVR storage, cloud archive, or hybrid retention against the longest applicable window and document it for the auditor.
For permit-required confined-space and high-energy equipment, the access controller verifies that the authorized employee's lock and tag are still in place before allowing re-energization. The audit log shows who applied, who removed, and when — which is exactly what an OSHA inspector wants if a 1910.147 incident is ever investigated.
Class I Division 1/2 (and the equivalent Zone 0/1/2) areas need explosion-rated cameras, readers, and conduit — we design against the site's electrical classification drawing and the NEC. Where the site has no classification drawing, we get one done before scope is final.
Yes — we have done it for Atlanta-area shippers and 3PLs. The deliverable is a documented control set: access policy, video coverage map, retention windows, driver check-in flow, container/trailer integrity workflow. We hand the binder to your trade-compliance team and walk it with them before the audit.
New construction, expansion, or retrofit — we will assess your operations and design a system that fits your facility, your audit regime, and your budget.
