Nedax who commenced operations in May 1987 are delighted to have designed a fully integrated system with levels of sophistication innovation and workmanship unmatched in the industry.
All design and installation works were handled by Nedax staff headed by Cameron Phillips as the project engineer and supported by Sunny Sandhu as the site technical lead manager.
Our ethos with Nedax was to design a system of unmatched reliability and about creating engineering solutions and enhancing the performance, productivity and durability of the overall system.
We are indebted to Wayne Scott local BDM for Gallagher in providing the necessary equipment and software to support our quest to create this masterpiece.
Design
Nedax was not limited by specification considerations. From the outset, the Nedax aspiration was to create a world-leading system with innovation and quality not seen in the security marketplace. 48VDC was utilised instead of 230VAC to power rack equipment, servers, workstations, routers, and monitor displays. This innovation excludes the requirement for 230VAC outlets at monitoring locations, enhancing safety with extra low voltage powered equipment at staff locations, reducing power consumption, and increasing equipment life expectancy.
The Nedax management philosophy from the outset was to establish quality, productivity, and a competitive position while consistently improving the system of production and service.
Nedax emphasised that customers recognise quality as an important attribute in products and services and see it as a significant differentiator between their offerings and those of competitors.
Nedax calls this Quality Differentiation. These themes are prevalent among Nedax staff and have become increasingly significant, including the quality culture, the importance of knowledge management, and the role of leadership in promoting and achieving high quality.
