Forward Intermodal runs a key logistics hub in Baltimoreโ€”an essential gateway for container shipments across the U.S. Keeping the perimeter secure is critical to avoid disruptions from intrusions or false alarms that can delay operations.

To tackle these challenges, Quantum Crossing, Forward’s trusted integrator, installed 700 meters (2,300 feet) of SIOUX PRO2 fence-mounted intrusion detection sensors. Thanks to the systemโ€™s plug & play design, the install was fastโ€”taking less than an hour with no special tools or downtime required.

To secure vehicle access at the main gate, two MURENA PLUS short-range radar units (covering 24 meters each) were added. The entire setup was integrated into Johnson Controls, streamlining alarm management, via Forwardโ€™s existing infrastructure.Sioux Pro2 sensors system on the fence & Murena Plus Radar on the main gateDan Spencer, Security Systems Manager at Forward, shared his confidence in the solution:

โ€œFrom our very first conversation with CIAS, we knew the SIOUX PRO2 system was the right fit. Since deployment, the performance and support have been first classโ€”just like the system itself”.

The combination of advanced sensor technology, quick installation and maintenance, and seamless integration has enabled Forward Intermodal to protect its Baltimore Hub with a trusted, high-performance perimeter security systemโ€”one that supports daily operations with maximum reliability and peace of mind.
