"As grow facilities developed, the need for physical security became paramount"

Aurora Cannabis is a pioneer in global cannabis, serving 13 markets internationally. They have created a diverse portfolio in both the consumer and medical markets which have increased access to safe, high-quality cannabis worldwide.

As Aurora’s grow facilities were developing, their need for robust physical security over expansive operations became paramount. Vandalism, theft of plants, and destruction of property can severely impact business operations.

Given the unique characteristics that are part of cannabis grow operations – large applications, often outdoors, where lighting and conditions are difficult to control – Aurora turned to SightLogix to help solve their cannabis security challenges.

As Aurora was beginning to set up for an outdoor grow site, they needed to address their perimeter security as part of their licensing requirements. Health Canada, the governing Canadian body for cannabis, has many regulations for grow sites. According to one of their requirements, cannabis sites must be able to detect and verify human intrusion in all weather conditions with 100% coverage, 100% of the time.
