DownloadAs the future of smart cities comes into focus, it’s clear that what’s needed most are intelligent digital solutions capable of “talking” to each other while “seeing” everything. As a result, most smart-city initiatives are seeking better ways to connect critical data points in the hopes of improving the delivery of citywide services while making all cities safer and more secure for everyone.
Global safety and security initiatives are driving ever-increasing deployments of sophisticated network video surveillance and analytics, access control and audio systems. According to MarketsandMarkets’ latest report on the global video surveillance market, greater government and stakeholder funding also is helping fuel rapid market growth, which is projected to reach $74.6B by 2025.
Since developing the very first network video camera in 1996, Axis Communications has been at the forefront of major breakthroughs across the video surveillance market. “Innovation has been in our DNA since Axis was founded,” explains Per Ädelroth, Vice President of Operations at Axis Communications. “We’re very good at uncovering customer problems and then finding innovative, smart ways to solve them to create a safer world.”

Global safety and security initiatives are driving ever-increasing deployments of sophisticated network video surveillance and analytics, access control and audio systems. Since developing the very first network video camera in 1996, Axis Communications has been at the forefront of major breakthroughs across the video surveillance market.
Continuous technology advancements provide Axis Communications’ distributors, systems integrators and resellers across 179 countries with hundreds of world-class products for security, safety and operational efficiency. Over the past year, in particular, demand for the company’s low or no-contact access control systems grew as a result of COVID-19-related hygiene and social distancing concerns. The company seeks manufacturers with proven track records of accelerated growth backed by uncompromising commitments to quality and innovation to maintain its pioneering status within the market.
In particular, Axis wanted to ramp high-volume manufacturing in the European Union, which led the team to Jabil. With more than 140,000 employees across 100 locations, Jabil offered Axis an attractive, lower-cost manufacturing location to support its entire product lifecycle from a 700,000 square foot facility in Kwidzyn, Poland.
“Jabil and Axis are on a great sustainability journey together. We have good KPIs to measure our progress and are committed to driving this area together.”
