Another Barry Triumph!!

We were approached by ATG Services in Warrington, who had many issues with the very old intercom which was attached to their larger powered sliding gate. Visitors were struggling to gain access to the site and this issue was causing more widespread consternation as this is a multi-tenant situation. As can be seen from the “before” picture, one does wonder how it worked at all and one would have to agree, it is not the most aesthetic in appearance.

We investigated the current wiring and found it to be at best, very confusing and in poor condition.

This seemed an ideal opportunity for the Videx GSM intercom which we have deployed successfully on many sites over the past few years. The appearance and functionality found great favour with the MD Pat Parkins who, following some pertinent enquiries, placed an order almost immediately.

Word had spread around the site and another resident, Eddie Render from JGR Distribution Ltd expressed considerable interest in becoming involved, as his business was definitely suffering from the intermittent intercom issue. An easy upgrade to an additional call button brought his business onto the system.

Equipment ordered and assembled, with appropriate name tags installed, the whole project was up and running in little more than half a day.

Both Pat and Eddie are delighted with the appearance and functionality, peace and harmony have returned to this little backwater of Warrington.

 

 

Before and after Mikki

Before Mikki

This is an example of before and after Mikki Tiamo has been to a job.

This is what we, at Access-Ability like to leave our jobs like after we’ve finished.

Mikki doesn’t like, poorly designed server cabinets and racks, be they large or small.

Mikki doesn’t like, cabinets and racks with wires which look like spaghetti. Wiring all over the place.

Mikki doesn’t like, when she turns up for jobs and the server cabinet looks like it’s been put together in the dark by someone wearing mittens.

Mikki does like, spending 10-20 minutes re-arranging things.

Mikki does like, making cabinets look aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

and most of all…

Mikki does like, making cabinets and racks easier to work on. Whether that be for Mikki, another Access-Ability engineer, an engineer from another company, or even the customer themselves.

 

This is the latest before and after Mikki cabinet. She says it’s not perfect but it’s much better than when she first saw this cabinet.

Another challenge for Barry!

This Videx Century One intercom system has been in for many years, installed by others, we might add. Now we have to make some modifications to meet the client’s new requirements.

As the tech support engineer at Videx said, “good luck with that” when he saw the photograph. This is one of those classic poke and hope scenarios, where you endeavour not to make it worse as soon as you touch it.

We are happy to report that all is now working,  but unfortunately, we have not been instructed to sort the mess out properly, so  let’s hope it continues to work.
