Since 1954, the Bowerman family has been growing delicious and healthy Michigan blueberries. Over the years, they’ve expanded their operations, adding new products, services, and physical locations. To support this growth, they partnered with Tele-Rad to invest in an advanced Avigilon video surveillance system.
The Avigilon cameras and software have significantly enhanced the safety and efficiency of their farm and store. In addition, these tools provide valuable business insights, such as tracking the number of customers entering the store and monitoring how long they stay.

Our Partnership with Bowerman Blueberries
As with all projects, our first step was to conduct a comprehensive walkthrough of the Bowerman Blueberries facilities. Together, we assessed their current challenges and future goals, then collaborated to design an efficient, effective solution.
Key improvements included:
- Consolidating Security Systems: We merged two separate security systems into one, leveraging the existing fiber connection between their farm store and operations building. This eliminated inefficiencies and reduced security risks.
- Enhanced Perimeter Security: Avigilon multi-sensor cameras were strategically placed to maximize coverage without increasing costs.
- Scalable Solutions: We implemented an AI-powered NVR (network video recorder) with an analog encoder. This allowed Bowerman Blueberries to continue using some existing cameras while benefiting from advanced Avigilon analytics.
Advanced Analytics at Work
Beyond security, the Avigilon system delivers actionable business insights. Using real-time alerts and historical data, Bowerman Blueberries can now track and analyze:
- Visitor counts
- Drive-thru traffic
- Occupancy metrics
Expanding Horizons
Looking ahead, Bowerman Blueberries is set to open a new location in downtown Holland, Michigan, catering to both locals and tourists along the bustling, award-winning 8th Street corridor. Be sure to stop by—and when you do, smile for the camera!
