Biometric access control systems record strong growth in the construction sector

Biometric access control systems are becoming increasingly popular as the solutions of choice for site access in the construction industry, recent statistical figures published in a report by Human Recognition Systems can suggest.

The research report revealed that since January 2016, the number of contracts awarded for biometric entry systems has increased by 59% to over 975 contracts in 2018 (Q1-3).

In fact, biometric solutions have been applied in the construction sector with increasing regularity to help control access to sites, reducing the risk of uninvited visitors and making sure that solely pre-registered contractors are granted passage.

Besides ensuring the security of a site, biometric systems can also be used to check that any workers on site have the necessary qualifications to do the job they are being employed to do and have completed any site specific inductions required by the job.

Tensor Biometric Access Control Systems – reliable and secure access restriction solutions

Biometric technology uses human physical attributes as locks and keys, making it particularly suitable for access control systems on the buildings of large organisations. Using biometrics for security and identification requires meeting two challenges: they must be cheap enough and sufficiently simple to be used by ordinary users. Furthermore, for enhanced security, these biometric access control systems should combine two or more types of authentication, such as coupling fingerprints with key codes or passwords to provide greater trust that who is logging in is only who is expected to do so.
