A central, intuitive user interface for all security subsystems: With WinGuard, Henkel significantly streamlined building management at its Düsseldorf-Holthausen site while simultaneously achieving a new level of security. rising systems implemented the market-leading building management platform at Henkel’s corporate headquarters and second-largest production site worldwide. We also integrated the fire alarm systems into the platform – enabling much more convenient and efficient maintenance. 


Manufacturer-Neutral Security Management (PSIM)

Henkel’s site in Düsseldorf-Holthausen covers an area of one and a half square kilometers. Around 10,000 people work across 400 buildings, although only about 6,000 are directly employed by the global corporation. Ensuring physical security in such a vast industrial park is a major challenge. Today, the market-leading building management platform WinGuard consolidates a wide range of security and building technology systems, as well as communication systems from various manufacturers, into one centralized solution. 


“I don’t know any other system that offers comparable capabilities. For security management in the control center, WinGuard is the best solution.”  

- Michael Voigt, Planning Technician at Henkel


In both day-to-day operations and emergency situations, control center operators now work with a single, user-friendly interface that provides access to: 

  • all physical security systems 
  • building technology systems 
  • cameras 
  • alarm and notification systems  
  • communication units 

Thanks to its high usability, the centralized platform enables staff to quickly and reliably assess critical situations and respond effectively. 


Custom Development Partner Enables Optimized Maintenance

As a WinGuard Custom Development Partner, rising systems tailored the solution specifically to Henkel’s requirements. In addition to integrating numerous security subsystems, we also developed and integrated the management of fire alarm systems. This significantly reduced the workload for maintenance tasks in the control center: regular system updates can now be carried out with just a few clicks.   

Where are the pain points in your building management? How robust is the physical security of your site? And is your fire protection concept truly watertight? Let’s take a closer look together.
