Integrated Security & Surveillance System for Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF)

Securing Pakistan’s Strategic Defence Manufacturing Infrastructure

How CDigital Delivered a Multi-Layered, Integrated Security & Surveillance Ecosystem Across Pakistan Ordinance Factories’ Critical Industrial Facilities

About The Client

Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF) is a premier defence manufacturing organization of Pakistan, responsible for the production, storage, and handling of strategic defence equipment and materials. POF operates multiple large-scale industrial installations across Wah, Sanjwal, and Havelian, employing thousands of personnel and managing high-value, sensitive inventories.

Given the strategic importance of its facilities, POF maintains strict security protocols and continuously enhances its security posture to safeguard critical assets, personnel, and sensitive operations against evolving threats.

Challenge

Prior to the project, POF was operating with outdated and fragmented security infrastructure that relied heavily on manual, manpower-intensive measures. Limited real-time visibility across entry points, production facilities, storage areas, and internal circulation zones constrained proactive threat detection and timely response. The absence of centralized monitoring, recording, and analytics further increased exposure to security risks across geographically dispersed and highly sensitive defence manufacturing facilities. The challenge was to establish a modern, integrated, and scalable security framework capable of providing continuous situational awareness, deterrence, and rapid response while meeting stringent defence-sector security requirements.
