EMERSON

Whatever your role on the project, one team to call.
AE works for the general contractor on new construction and directly for the owner on retrofits and service.
One contractor for the full retrofit scope.
Hand us the retrofit, across every division it touches, and we carry it from the bid number to closeout with our own engineers, panel builders, programmers and field crews.
- Detailed quotations and a schedule of values
- Complete submittal packages and custom electrical drawings
- Project schedules and on-site management
- Certified payroll and project reports
- Systems assembled and pre-tested in our Columbus shop before they ship

Design support from people who build the system.
We work from your drawings and specifications and tell you early what the control system needs to make them work.
- Budget pricing during design
- Control system layouts drawn around your floor plans
- Non-proprietary platforms that satisfy open specifications
- Retrofit phasing that keeps an occupied facility secure
- As-built drawings at handover
An integrator that builds to the specification.
AE programs on the platforms most correctional specifications already name, and documents the system so it can be verified.
- Allen-Bradley and Emerson (GE) PLC platforms
- AVEVA InTouch (Wonderware) touch screens, programmed in house
- Harding Instruments IP digital intercom, with current certification
- IP video, card access and duress systems on the same screens
- Factory style pre-testing before installation

A system your own staff can keep running.
Every part is available from distributors nationwide and the code is yours, so the facility is never tied to one vendor.
- Off-the-shelf PLCs and software, no black boxes
- Operator and maintenance training for your staff
- Service, repair and expansion of existing systems
- Database logging of door and system events
- Letters of recommendation available on request

The whole security electronics package, on one control system.
AE self-performs the design, programming and installation of the complete system, from the control room to the cell door. Every system reports to the same PLCs and the same touch screens.
See every systemNo black boxes. Parts you can buy anywhere, code you can read.
Proprietary detention controls tie a facility to one vendor for life. AE builds on off-the-shelf Rockwell Allen-Bradley PLCs and AVEVA software, stocked by distributors across the country.
Design
Detailed quotations, complete submittal packages and custom electrical drawings before anything is built.
Build
PLC panels assembled and tested by our own electricians, then installed by our field crews.
Integrate
Our programmers tie doors, video, intercom and access into one screen, then train your staff and hand over as-builts.
Proven inside state prisons and county jails.

Ross Correctional Institution
Every cell lock in the facility replaced, with a new PLC based locking control system, touch screens, intercom, IP cameras and a fiber optic network.




Where we work.
Offices in Columbus and Atlanta, with crews working for state and local corrections agencies across four states.


“I plan to make every effort to see that AE Security Group is listed as approved security system integration contractors for any future security projects that I might have and would highly recommend them to others.”
Kenneth Crews, Sr. Project Manager, PB/Heery
Service and repair
A failed PLC or a door that will not secure cannot wait. We troubleshoot, repair and expand existing control systems.
