VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada — Avigilon Corp., a Motorola Solutions company, has been awarded ISO 9001:2015 certification for its quality management system (QMS).
ISO 9001:2015 is a globally recognized quality standard that defines QMS requirements and performance. The standard assists companies to align quality with their wider business strategy, helping to improve communications, efficiency and implementation of continuous improvement.
As part of the ISO 9001:2015 certification process, Avigilon engaged in a rigorous audit of its business processes and manufacturing facilities and has successfully demonstrated its ability to consistently provide high quality service and products to its customers.
“Achieving this level of certification again demonstrates our commitment to delivering the highest levels of quality and efficiency,” says Manny Gill, Avigilon’s vice president, global manufacturing & supply chain. “Thanks to the hard work of our manufacturing team at our state-of-the-art facilities in North America, we continue to ensure quality control and create efficiencies in our production to best meet the needs of our customers.”
ISO 9001 was first published in 1987 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an international agency composed of the national standards bodies of more than 160 countries. The current version of ISO 9001 was released in September 2015.
ISO 9001:2015 applies to any organization, regardless of size or industry. More than one million organizations from more than 160 countries have applied the ISO 9001 standard requirements to their quality management systems.
Avigilon operates manufacturing facilities in Richmond, B.C, and Plano, Texas. Manufacturing at state-of-the-art facilities in North America provides strong quality control, access to an experienced local workforce and helps ensure Avigilon can accelerate the speed at which it goes from innovation to a final product and delivery, according to the company.
The Plano facility is able to produce the company’s entire product line including security cameras, network appliances and access control hardware. In this regard, quality control also plays a huge factor in having a locally-based manufacturing presence, according to the company.
