A major port project in Colombia utilizes Aratek Biometrics’ advanced solutions to enhance access control and attendance management at its construction site. By deploying facial recognition terminals and biometric tablets, this port project ensures secure and efficient site operations, optimizing workforce management and project performance. With a focus on security, efficiency, and scalability, the project sets a new standard for construction site management, driving productivity and safety toward its ambitious infrastructure goals.
A major port project in Colombia faces significant challenges in managing access control and attendance on its construction site, posing obstacles to achieving its objectives as a vital logistics hub:
1. Large workforce and vehicle fleet: With a significant number of employees, contractors, and vehicles entering and exiting the site daily, maintaining accurate attendance records and controlling access becomes a complex task.
2. Harsh environmental conditions: Situated in a coastal area, its harsh weather conditions, such as heavy rainfall, humidity, and salt corrosion, may impact the functionality of electronic devices and infrastructure.
3. Security risks and unauthorized access: The construction site's expansive perimeter and multiple entry points increase the risk of security breaches and unauthorized entry, necessitating robust access control measures.
Addressing these challenges requires strategic planning, collaboration, and innovative solutions tailored to the unique needs of the construction environment to ensure the successful development and operation of the port facility.
8" Multifaceted Facial Recognition Terminal
Aratek, in partnership with a major port project in Colombia, implemented a tailored biometric access control and time attendance solution using two advanced devices: the BA8300 facial recognition terminal and the Marshall 8 biometric handheld tablet. At the main entrance turnstile gates, the BA8300 were strategically installed to verify the identity of individuals arriving on foot, utilizing facial recognition technology to accurately control access and log their attendance. For individuals arriving in vehicles, the Marshall 8 tablets were deployed, which allowed site supervisors to authenticate the drivers' identities through facial recognition and scan QR codes connected to their vehicles.
The Marshall 8 tablets' IP65-rated design and ultra-long-lasting 10000mAh battery ensured consistent performance in outdoor environments, while its large display and versatile ID verification capabilities provided site personnel with a powerful mobile device for access control and attendance management in the field. This integrated solution optimized operational efficiency and physical security at the construction site, demonstrating Aratek's commitment to delivering innovative biometric solutions tailored to diverse operational needs.
With an estimated reduction of unauthorized access incidents by 90%, this project ensures robust security measures are in place to safeguard personnel and assets.
The project gains valuable information about workforce productivity, attendance patterns, and resource allocation. This allows for better decision-making and manpower optimization, which contributes to better project management and cost control.
With the ability to easily scale up or down the deployment of biometric devices based on workforce size and project phases, the project can adapt to changing operational needs and accommodate future expansion plans seamlessly.
