Building a full security infrastructure from the ground up for an ISO-certified micro-moulding manufacturer at their new Loyang facility - unified surveillance, face recognition zone control, visitor management, and intercom on one platform.
Cyrus Technology (S) Pte Ltd is a Singapore precision micro-moulding manufacturer founded in 2005, supplying medical device, electronics, and automotive industries. Their Loyang facility operates a Class 7 certified cleanroom, white room production lines, and a climate-controlled metrology laboratory. When they relocated to 10 Loyang Lane, Securevision was appointed to design and install the complete security system from the ground up - no prior system existed at the new location.

When Cyrus Technology relocated to Loyang Lane, they faced a situation that appears simple on the surface - a new building with no existing security to work around - but is in practice one of the more demanding scopes an integrator can be handed. A blank slate for an ISO 13485-certified manufacturer means every decision must be made correctly the first time. Retrofitting access control in an operating cleanroom is expensive and potentially problematic for certification continuity. The system had to be fully specified before a single cable was run.
ISO 13485 is the medical device manufacturing standard. Unlike ISO 9001, it requires traceability across the production process - including who was authorised to be in which zone at any given time. An audit inspector reviewing a production batch needs to cross-reference personnel access records against the production log. A paper sign-in register and a basic CCTV system do not satisfy this at the level a medical device component manufacturer requires. The access control system had to generate an individually attributed, timestamped, exportable log from the first day of operation.
The third constraint was the most operationally immediate: standard fingerprint biometric readers do not work in cleanrooms. Workers in Cyrus Technology's Class 7 cleanroom and white room wear gloves as standard practice. Requiring glove removal at every controlled entry point creates workflow friction that is unacceptable in a contamination-controlled environment. The access control hardware had to be specified around that reality before any other design decision was made.
| Security Dimension | New Facility - No System | Securevision Installation |
|---|---|---|
| Surveillance Coverage | No cameras - unmonitored at facility handover | 81 ZKTeco cameras across all zones on 3 × 32-channel NVRs |
| Zone Access Control | No access control - mechanical key or open | 29 face recognition terminals - glove-compatible, no physical contact required |
| Biometric Modality | N/A - no credential system at Loyang | Facial recognition - works without glove removal, suitable for cleanroom and white room entries |
| Visitor Management | No formal process - no digital record of who entered which area | ZKBio CVSecurity visitor module - pre-registration, face capture, time-bound access, automatic expiry, audit log |
| Access Audit Trail | No individual attribution - unverifiable who entered which zone and when | Individual timestamped access log with facial image at every event - exportable for ISO 13485 audit |
| Management Platform | No unified platform - cameras, access, visitors would require separate disconnected systems | ZKBio CVSecurity - single web-based interface for surveillance, access, visitors, and personnel |
| Power Resilience | No UPS - power disruption stops recording and releases controlled doors | UPS across all NVRs and access panels - continuous recording and door control through power events |
Specifying access control hardware for a precision manufacturing facility requires understanding how the production floor actually operates before selecting any equipment. Fingerprint readers are the standard industrial biometric choice - reliable, widely supported, cost-effective. At Cyrus Technology, the cleanroom and white room environments make them operationally unworkable. Workers wear gloves as standard practice, and requiring glove removal at every zone entry point creates unacceptable friction in a contamination-controlled environment.
Securevision specified ZKTeco face recognition terminals across all 29 controlled access points. Facial authentication requires no physical contact with the reader - workers approach the terminal and authenticate without removing gloves or interrupting workflow. The same terminal model serves both cleanroom production entries and standard office doors, keeping the hardware inventory uniform and credential management consistent across the entire facility under ZKBio CVSecurity.
The face recognition specification also directly strengthens the ISO audit trail. Every authentication event captures a timestamped facial image alongside the personnel record and door log - proving not just that a credential was presented, but that a specific individual was physically present at that point at that time. For ISO 13485 audit purposes, this is a meaningfully stronger record than card or PIN access.
The defining approach for this project was to establish ZKBio CVSecurity as the architectural foundation before a single piece of hardware was ordered. Rather than selecting cameras, readers, and a visitor system from separate sources and then attempting integration, Securevision designed the entire installation around the ZKTeco ecosystem - where every hardware component communicates natively with the platform, and the platform manages everything from one interface.
Securevision mapped every zone with Cyrus Technology's operations team - production floors, quality lab, tool room, offices, reception, loading, and perimeter - before specifying a single camera or reader. The 81-camera count and 29-reader positions are the result of that exercise, not a round-number estimate.
Each zone was classified by access level - unrestricted, staff-only, or restricted production - before reader positions were confirmed. EBELCO EM locks were placed on the three highest-security entry points, providing electromagnetic fail-safe locking at the most sensitive zone boundaries.
The visitor management workflow - pre-registration, face capture, time-bound authorisation, automatic expiry - was configured in ZKBio CVSecurity before hardware installation. This ensured the system matched Cyrus Technology's actual vendor and contractor process from commissioning, not as a post-installation reconfiguration.
UPS backup was built into the specification for all NVRs and access control panels from the start - not added afterwards. For an ISO 13485 manufacturer, a gap in surveillance recording or access logging caused by a power interruption is an audit issue. Uninterruptible power was treated as a compliance requirement throughout.
Three integrated security layers - all native to ZKBio CVSecurity - giving Cyrus Technology a single interface for surveillance, access logs, visitor records, and personnel management from the first day of operations.
81 ZKTeco IP cameras across all zones - production floors, quality lab, tool room, offices, reception, loading bay, and external perimeter - recording to three 32-channel NVRs. Camera positions were mapped to zone boundaries so every controlled access point has corresponding coverage. NVRs connect natively to ZKBio CVSecurity, allowing footage to be retrieved directly from an access log event without switching interfaces.
Surveillance & Detection →29 ZKTeco face recognition terminals across all controlled access points - cleanroom and white room entries, production zone boundaries, restricted areas, and office doors. Every authentication captures a timestamped facial image alongside the personnel record. Three EBELCO EM locks on the most sensitive doors provide electromagnetic fail-safe locking tied to the access system.
Entry Access Control →ZKBio CVSecurity visitor module handles all non-staff arrivals - pre-registration, face capture at reception, access authorisation bounded to permitted zones and time windows, and automatic credential expiry. Two intercoms provide audio-visual communication between reception and controlled entry points for visitor and delivery coordination. The complete visitor record is retained for audit retrieval.
Entry Access Control →A complete, purpose-specified installation across the full Cyrus Technology Loyang facility - 81 cameras, 29 face readers, visitor management, intercom, EM locks, and UPS backup, all managed through ZKBio CVSecurity on a single web-based interface.
Every access event - facial authentication, door open, visitor arrival, credential expiry - carries individual attribution, timestamp, and facial image from the first day. The complete log is exportable for ISO 13485 audit without retrospective reconstruction from paper records.
Face recognition across all controlled entry points means cleanroom and white room staff authenticate without removing gloves or interrupting contamination protocol. Access control operates within the production environment's constraints rather than against them.
Cameras, NVRs, face terminals, visitor management, and personnel records all managed through ZKBio CVSecurity - one web-based interface. No secondary visitor system, no separate NVR software, no disconnected access log.
Cyrus Technology began production operations at Loyang with a fully commissioned security system in place from day one - no interim arrangements, no phased handover, no provisional coverage. The installation was delivered complete by the June 2024 completion date.
A blank slate feels like a simpler project than an upgrade, but it is not. When there is no existing system to work around, every design decision carries its full consequence with no prior installation to inherit partial answers from. For Cyrus Technology, the decisions that mattered were made at the specification stage: face recognition because the cleanroom constraint made fingerprint readers operationally unworkable; ZKBio CVSecurity as the platform foundation so cameras, access control, and visitor management communicate natively rather than through integration bridges; and UPS throughout because an ISO audit does not accept a power outage as an explanation for a gap in the access log. Getting those three decisions right before any hardware was ordered meant the installation was ready for production on day one.
Every project Securevision delivers draws on multiple systems working together - cameras, access control, intercoms, vehicle management, network infrastructure, and platform software. The cards below show the full range of systems we design and install. Each one links to a deeper explanation of how it works, when it is needed, and what to look for when specifying it.
