Axis Communications has opened its 20th Axis Experience Center (AEC) in the Americas, marking a significant milestone in its long-term growth strategy. The new facility in Detroit highlights the company’s continued investment in regional engagement and innovation.
A Strategic Expansion Into A Key Innovation Hub
Located in one of the United States’ most important industrial and technology centers, the Detroit AEC is designed to bring customers and partners closer to emerging security and IoT solutions. Since launching its first Americas AEC in 2012, Axis has steadily expanded its global footprint to strengthen collaboration and local support.
Paul Winsker, Business Area Director – Mid Atlantic at Axis Communications, emphasized the importance of the new location:
“Our AECs are designed to provide local communities with the opportunity for hands-on experience with some of today’s most innovative and emerging technologies. With its blend of industrial heritage and modern resurgence, Detroit is the perfect location for our 20th AEC.”
A Collaborative, Hands-On Technology Environment
The 7,200-square-foot facility is housed in the iconic One Campus Martius, directly across from Campus Martius Park. The location offers scenic views of the Detroit River and Windsor, blending technology with a unique urban setting.
More than just a demo space, the AEC is built for real-world problem solving. Visitors can explore how Axis solutions—ranging from network video and analytics to access control and IoT devices—work together to enhance safety, efficiency, and business intelligence.
Purpose-Built Spaces For Innovation And Learning
The Detroit AEC includes several specialized areas designed to support training, testing, and collaboration:
- Security Command Center: Demonstrates modern security operations using intelligent video, analytics, and connected systems for real-time situational awareness.
- Training Facilities: Features an Axis Communications Academy space for certifications, partner training, and educational events.
- Engineering And Testing Lab: Allows partners to validate integrations, test system performance, and experiment with new solutions before deployment.
These environments enable organizations to design and refine tailored systems with greater confidence.
