Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) is helping secure one of the largest gold mines in the world. Operated by Pueblo Viejo Dominicana Corporation (PVDC), the Pueblo Viejo mine, located in the Dominican Republic, has proven and probable gold reserves of 25 million ounces.

To secure this high-value site, Diebold installed and implemented advanced video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, and perimeter monitoring systems. The company integrated these systems via a customized software application, enabling on-site security personnel to efficiently monitor the entire property in real time.

PVDC is a joint venture between gold producers Barrick Gold Corporation and Goldcorp Inc. It achieved commercial production in January 2013 and has a projected life of more than 30 years.
