SynopSYS Security & Building Management Solution

Helps Secure Major UK Jewellery Chain

Aurum is one of the largest luxury jewellery chains in the UK, offering prestigious

jewellery brands including Watches of Switzerland, Mappin & Webb and Goldsmiths. The

chain operates 100+ stores throughout the UK.

The Challenge

Aurum’s jewellery stores had experienced an increase in robberies during opening hours,

which led to substantial losses. To combat these robberies, Aurum had security smoke

manufacturer Concept Smoke Screen’s devices installed throughout their branches. The

smoke generators work by flooding the window areas of the stores with huge amounts

of smoke upon activation, blocking the jewellery from the robbers’ vision.

Concept Smoke Screen required a flexible and fully integrated management solution to

provide real-time visibility and status of all devices. The solution would have to enable

Smoke Screen to remotely monitor all devices 24/7, and to remotely respond to an event

involving the devices.

Concept Smoke Screen chose RISCO Group’s ProSYS™

Integrated Security System with SynopSYS™ Security &

Building Management Platform as the integrated solution that

met all current and future requirements.

SynopSYS enables remote control and real-time monitoring

of the devices located in all 100+ branches, each with its own

structure and operating hours. The platform’s user-friendly

interface with simple definitions allows for fast and simple

project setup and operation.

SynopSYS is extremely flexible, its open platform allowing for

easy integration not only with intrusion detection systems,

but also with access control, video monitoring, fire systems,

as well as HVAC, lighting, and elevator control. SynopSYS

provides a modular and scalable solution that caters to any
