Axis Opens Configuration, Logistics Center In Atlanta

  • Mar 25, 2009

Axis Communications recently announced that it is establishing a new configuration and logistics center in Atlanta.

The new center will further improve the supply of products to North and South America, enable Axis to offer enhanced services closer to its customers and strengthen its presence in these markets. The new center is part of Axis’ growth strategy and further reinforces its role as global market leader.

Through its establishment in Atlanta, deliveries will be streamlined to distribution partners in the Americas. Previously, distributors in the Americas received products from Axis' configuration and logistics centers in Thailand and Sweden.

“We will be able to serve our customers in the North and South American markets via more efficient transportation, which will also reduce the environmental impact,” said Per Ädelroth, vice president of Axis’ Supply Chain Operations. “Going forward, products from our manufacturers will be transported to Atlanta in bulk packaging, where final configuration and individual packaging will take place before being sent out to our distribution partners. This will shrink the transport volume by more than half, reducing the environmental impact and costs.”

Atlanta was selected because of its business-friendly environment and the fact that its airport is both the largest in the world and only about 250 miles from the port of Savannah, one of the fast growing ports in the country.

Axis Communications works in close collaboration with suppliers and contract manufacturers for the production of its goods. There is a well-structured process for production and delivery of products, from component purchasing and electronics production, to final assembly, quality control and delivery. Axis already has configuration and logistics centers in Sweden, Hungary and Thailand.

“We are excited about the opening of the configuration and logistics center because it ensures that we can offer our North and South American customers the highest quality service,” said Fredrik Nilsson, general manager of Axis Communications Inc. “Axis has seen tremendous growth in North and South America over the last few years, and having a local configuration and logistics center will help us reach our aggressive growth goals.”

  • Evolving Cybersecurity Strategies

    Organizations are increasingly turning their attention to human-focused security approaches, as two out of three (68%) cybersecurity incidents involve people. Threat actors are shifting from targeting networks and systems to hacking humans via social engineering methods, living off human errors as their most prevalent attack vector. Whether manipulated or not, human cyber behavior is leveraged to gain backdoor access into systems. This mainly results from a lack of employee training and awareness about evolving attack techniques employed by malign actors. Read Now
