Case Study: Enhancing Entrance Security at Berger Paints Bangladesh with Hikvision X-Ray Baggage Scanner

Berger Paints Bangladesh Limited, a leading paint manufacturer and distributor in Bangladesh, operates from its corporate headquarters in Uttara Model Town, Dhaka. As a prominent player in the specialty chemicals industry with a focus on innovative and high-quality products, Berger Paints prioritizes the safety and security of its employees, visitors, and assets. In 2026, the company sought to upgrade its entrance security measures to mitigate potential risks such as unauthorized items entering the premises.

Digimark Solution, an authorized Hikvision distributor and security solutions provider in Bangladesh, was engaged to deliver a reliable and intelligent screening system. With expertise in deploying advanced security technologies for corporates, banks, and transport hubs, Digimark installed one unit of the Hikvision ISD-SG5030SA-CL Intelligent X-Ray Security Inspection System at Berger Paints' Uttara location. This project aimed to streamline baggage inspection while ensuring compliance with safety standards.

The Challenge

Berger Paints' Uttara office handles a high volume of daily foot traffic, including employees, suppliers, contractors, and visitors. Traditional manual checks were time-consuming, prone to human error, and insufficient for detecting concealed threats like weapons, explosives, or prohibited materials. The company needed a non-intrusive, efficient solution to enhance perimeter security without disrupting operations. Key requirements included:

• High-resolution imaging for accurate threat detection.
• Intelligent features to automate alerts for suspicious items.
• Compact design suitable for the office lobby.
• Compliance with radiation safety norms to protect users and the environment.
• Seamless integration with existing monitoring systems.

Additionally, as a manufacturing firm dealing with chemicals, Berger Paints emphasized preventing any potential sabotage or unauthorized access that could impact production or safety.

The Solution

Digimark Solution recommended the Hikvision ISD-SG5030SA-CL, a single-view, single-energy X-ray inspection system designed for screening satchels, parcels, hand baggage, and small packages. This compact unit is ideal for corporate environments like offices, factories, and government buildings.

Key Features of the ISD-SG5030SA-CL:

• Tunnel Dimensions: 500 mm (W) × 300 mm (H), accommodating standard baggage sizes.
• Imaging Performance: 38 AWG line resolution (40 AWG typical) and 8 mm steel penetration (10 mm typical) for clear, detailed scans.
• Intelligent Detection: Deep learning algorithms recognize prohibited goods across 7 categories and 15 types, including explosives, organic materials, and non-penetrable items. Features like Z789 suspect materials enhancement and automatic alarms improve accuracy.
• Safety and Compliance: External dose rate below 1.0 μSv/h, film-safe per ASA/ISO1600 standards, and compliant with US FDA requirements.
• User-Friendly Operation: 21.5-inch high-resolution display, 64x zoom, infinite image recall, and over 100,000 image storage capacity. Conveyor speed of 0.2 m/s with a 100 kg load limit ensures efficient throughput.
• Advanced Functions: Video correlation linking X-ray images to camera footage, event traceback for playback, and networking capabilities for centralized data management.
• Durability*: Operates in temperatures from 5°C to 40°C, with a noise level of 60 dB(A) and max power consumption of 0.5 kW.

This system was selected for its balance of advanced technology, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness, with Digimark providing end-to-end support including site survey, installation, and training.

Implementation

The project commenced with a thorough site assessment at Berger Paints' Uttara headquarters (Berger House, House No. 8, Road No. 2, Sector No. 3). Digimark's team identified the entrance lobby as the optimal location for the scanner, ensuring minimal disruption to daily activities.

• Installation Phase: The unit was set up on a marble-floored area near the reception desk, integrated with existing computer monitors for real-time viewing. Roller tables were added for smooth baggage handling, and the system was connected to power sources with safety labels applied.
• Calibration and Testing: Post-installation, the scanner underwent calibration to optimize X-ray output and imaging clarity. Digimark conducted tests with sample items to verify detection accuracy.
• Training: Security personnel received hands-on training on operating the system, interpreting scans, and responding to alerts. The multi-language interface facilitated quick adoption.
• Timeline: The entire deployment was completed within one week, with minimal downtime.

The setup included positioning the scanner for easy access, as evidenced by its placement adjacent to the reception counter, allowing seamless integration into the entry process.

Results and Benefits

Since installation, the ISD-SG5030SA-CL has significantly elevated security at Berger Paints' Uttara office:

• Enhanced Threat Detection: The intelligent recognition has flagged potential risks with high precision, reducing false positives and enabling proactive responses.
• Operational Efficiency: Screening time per item decreased by approximately 50%, allowing faster visitor processing without queues.
• Improved Traceability: Video and image correlations provide a comprehensive audit trail, aiding in investigations and compliance reporting.
• Safety Assurance*: Low radiation levels ensure a safe environment for staff and visitors, aligning with Berger Paints' commitment to health and safety.
• Cost Savings: By automating manual inspections, the system has lowered labor costs while minimizing risks associated with undetected threats.
• User Feedback: Security teams report the interface as intuitive, with features like edge enhancement and super enhancement aiding in quick decision-making.

Overall, the project has bolstered Berger Paints' security posture, contributing to a safer workplace and protecting valuable assets.

Conclusion

The collaboration between Berger Paints Bangladesh and Digimark Solution exemplifies how targeted security upgrades can address modern challenges in corporate environments. The Hikvision ISD-SG5030SA-CL has proven to be a reliable, intelligent solution that not only meets but exceeds expectations for baggage screening.
