In previous years we’ve awarded the annual Wesco Anixter Inner Range Partner Awards for Project of the Year along with the coveted Partner of the Year. This year, we gave integrators the opportunity to nominate themselves for a project they installed in 2023 and we received nominations from various projects completed all over New Zealand.

Projects were judged on how well they utilised the features and benefits of the Inner Range platforms including integrations, depth of feature usage, demonstrable resolution of the end user’s various requirements and challenges. Whilst the Partner of the Year award is based on a variety of objective factors including purchasing & growth values, training & certification levels, project engagement, and partnership.

We’re pleased to announce we have chosen our winners for 2023!
Congratulations to the following integrators who have completed comprehensive, complex projects utilising Inner Range’s solutions, and to our Inner Range Partner of the Year.

Inception Project of the Year - Trilect Automation                                             
This project required a secure by design integrated access control and security solution that was intuitive enough for the client to easily manage themselves once commissioned. Highlighting the strengths of the Inception panel, multiple 3rd party solutions were successfully integrated, including lighting control, third party VMS, gate and roller door automation, HVAC and intercom.The ability to manage this all through a mobile device was a key factor in utilising Inception. This project was planned and executed exceptionally well by the Integrator.
Congratulations and thanks go to our partners, Trilect Automation, for their comprehensive Inception project at Independent Building Supplies.

Integriti Project of the Year - Optic Security Group Limited 
The end user for this project has worked with their system integrator to evaluate options for future enhancements and efficiencies due to the ever-evolving operational threats and requirements. They required a flexible integrated security, access control and video management solution that could also connect with other third-party systems as the site matured. They also wanted to ensure the installed solutions would give them remote visibility and management via web browser sessions and mobile devices. After factoring their EH&S, sustainability and future operational requirements, the system integrator and end user selected to expand and leverage Inner Range Integriti.  

A complex installation, where maintaining security for the 24x7 operational site has been paramount, has been successfully achieved by the Integrator. The transitioned Integriti system has multiple areas and controls more than 25 intruder inputs, 12 access doors & gates, and 100+ users. Current and future integration elements include, Gatekeeper software, fire alarm integration, Milestone video management, including from the Gatekeeper GUI, and provision for wireless access control doors, lighting, HVAC control and regional multi-site management.
