Loading docks are the single highest-risk zone in most manufacturing facilities because they combine open access, high-value inventory, constant third-party traffic, and vehicle movement in one space that is often the least monitored part of the building. According to Verisk CargoNet, confirmed cargo theft incidents in the United States increased 18% in 2025, with estimated losses surging 60% to nearly $725 million and the average theft valued at $347,334.

The cost of security cameras for a manufacturing facility typically ranges from a few thousand dollars for a small single-building setup to six figures for a large multi-building campus, but that range is nearly useless without context, because the camera hardware is only one piece of the total investment. In most manufacturing security projects, infrastructure, installation, integration, and storage account for a larger share of the budget than the cameras themselves. Two

The best security system for a manufacturing plant is a fully integrated platform that connects surveillance cameras, access control, and system monitoring into one unified system — not a collection of separate tools bolted together over time.

AI data centers require up to 8 times more fiber connectivity than traditional setups. That means the old way of running cables one at a time, under raised floors, with no real plan doesn’t work anymore. Next-generation facility designs like TigerDC’s Project Spero blueprint call for high-density fiber trunk cabling, overhead distribution, and plug-and-play architecture to handle massive GPU workloads while keeping everything clean, fast, and scalable. When cabling is done ri
