The innovation has been implemented under Grant Agreement No. BG16RFPR001-1.003-0355-C01, funded by the “Competitiveness and Innovation in Enterprises” Programme 2021–2027, co-financed by the European Union.
In today’s world of hybrid work, automated processes, and smart factories, security is no longer just a barrier at the entrance. It’s a living organism – an intelligent platform that adapts, analyses, and acts before a threat turns into an incident.
With LIREX innovations, physical and digital security merge into one solution – the LIREX ACS intelligent platform. It lies at the heart of modern offices, production facilities, and critical infrastructures, ensuring a high level of security, visibility, and control.
What drives this intelligence?
The platform integrates two leading technologies that operate in perfect sync:
• A dynamic physical access control and management system – centralised, encrypted, and fully scalable. It manages the access of employees, visitors, and external teams in real time, taking into account specific roles, work schedules, and access levels.
• An AI-based software solution for video analytics and facial, object, and situation recognition, developed using LIREX AI technologies. It not only recognises and analyses visual data but also manages response scenarios, monitoring for deviations from normal behaviour or risky interactions between people and machines.
Together, these systems transform security into a smart ecosystem that monitors and controls the behaviour of people and machines, movement along production lines, and access to sensitive areas.
Industry 4.0 – The Natural Evolution of the Smart Ecosystem
This platform is a living example of the Industry 4.0 philosophy – the next level in the evolution of intelligent environments.
Industry 4.0 is built on interconnected, autonomous, and adaptive systems that:
Collect data in real time.
Analyse it through artificial intelligence and machine learning.
And take independent actions without the need for human intervention.
That is exactly what LIREX ACS does – it goes beyond standard security, transforming it into an active participant in Smart Factory and Smart Building processes.
In such an environment, the system doesn’t just provide protection – it interacts with production lines, automated control systems, and IoT infrastructures. It understands context, reacts in real time, and learns from every action – just like the smart factories themselves.
Thanks to the synergy between LIREX AI and LIREX ACS, intelligent security becomes a natural part of digital transformation – delivering not only protection but also operational efficiency, predictability, and sustainability.
From the Office to the Factory: Intelligent Security in Action
LIREX ACS doesn’t just monitor – it thinks, predicts, and reacts. By connecting data from cameras, sensors, and access controllers, the platform creates a complete picture of what’s happening in real time.
Example situational scenarios in a production environment:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Control
The AI module of the platform recognises in real time whether employees are wearing protective helmets, vests, or goggles. If someone attempts to enter without the required gear, the door locks automatically, an alarm is triggered, and the responsible supervisor receives a notification on their tablet.
In this way, the platform not only prevents safety rule violations but also provides tools for monitoring and maintaining safe working conditions, actively supporting prevention. Additionally, it tracks the validity of safety training to ensure that only qualified operators are granted access.
Emergency Evacuation
When smoke is detected or an unusual crowd forms around a production line, the platform automatically opens evacuation exits, directs employees through alerts and announcements, and sends notifications to security and fire response teams.
Moreover, the platform manages the activation of evacuation routes to increase efficiency during emergencies. By accumulating data from past incidents, LIREX ACS helps optimise risk management processes for critical events.
Protection of Sensitive Assets and Raw Materials
In the event of an attempt to move finished products or materials from the warehouse without authorisation, the platform analyses the video feed, identifies the object, and automatically initiates live video monitoring of the critical situation. Simultaneously, it notifies security personnel and locks neighbouring control points.Identification and Traceability
LIREX ACS supports multiple forms of identification to ensure flexible risk management across different security zones. The use of smart identification devices allows the combination of biometrics and physical access cards into a single unit. Integration with ERP systems provides two-way data exchange for personnel, identifiers, and their production roles, making the management of manufacturing processes more transparent and secure. The platform delivers detailed reports and analytical insights that support human resource management and enhance transparency within the production environment. This means no human errors, no time loss, and complete traceability of staff actions. The combination of asset protection and full traceability makes LIREX ACS a key tool for oversight and control in industrial settings. The platform not only prevents incidents and losses but also consolidates data that supports strategic decisions for the continuous optimisation of production processes.High-Level Security Supported by Intelligence
All communications between controllers, AI modules, and video analytics systems are encrypted and secure. The LIREX ACS interface is web-based and visualises all events in real time — from site maps and zone status to analytical reports on incidents, workload, and trends. Thanks to the AI algorithms and training models of LIREX AI, the platform processes alerts for potential incidents and executes automated actions before a threat materialises.Why This Is a Strategic Solution for Manufacturing
Uninterrupted Processes
Automated responses and intelligent monitoring minimise the risk of human error. This ensures production continues seamlessly, even during incidents or unexpected situations, with the platform taking instant control.
Enhanced Employee Safety
The platform monitors compliance with safety protocols and provides timely responses during incidents. This fosters a safety culture where every action is tracked and preventive measures are applied before risks arise.
Resource Optimisation
Data generated by AI is used to improve access and security management. Over time, managers gain a clear view for better allocation of personnel, equipment, and time.
Flexibility and Scalability
The platform adapts to a single production site or a network of factories across multiple locations. This allows centralised management and uniform security standards, regardless of the enterprise’s scale or geographic spread.
With the LIREX ACS intelligent platform, powered by LIREX AI technologies, security becomes a strategic advantage. This is a platform that doesn’t just monitor — it thinks, analyses, and reacts.
From the office to the production floor, it ensures a high level of security, asset protection, and peace of mind for the people driving the business forward. LIREX ACS supports process optimisation, reduces the risk of incidents, and creates an integrated environment where safety, efficiency, and transparency go hand in hand. This is not just a security system — it is an intelligent partner in the management and growth of the modern enterprise.
