HID Global, which provides identity technologies, exhibited its location services in Europe at IFSEC 2017, along with its range of access control systems and other products.The company promoted its newest development, HID Location Services for workforce optimisation, which is designed to meet demand for accurate and real-time location of an organisation’s workforce.
By combining Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless communication technologies organisations can increase the visibility of the location of their workforce in a facility or building.
The technology can make it possible to analyse the use of rooms for better building management and improvements in operational efficiencies. Future use cases could include building automation capabilities, rich security features and capabilities that facilitate life safety management and compliance.
Harm Radstaak, vice president and managing director of physical access control at HID Global, said: “HID Location Services extends the traditional capabilities of access control to improve security and area governance within buildings. This new solution underscores our commitment to developing innovative trusted identity solutions that power people, place and things.”
Other systems and products HID Global showcased included secure door/gate access using smartphones, wearables and tablets via HID Mobile Access, and intelligent visitor management with EasyLobby Solo that only takes 20 seconds to register a visitor, capture detailed information, print a badge and notify someone that a visitor has arrived.
HID’s parent company, ASSA ABLOY, also showcased new wireless locks that work with HID’s Seos credential technology on the stand.
And visitors witnessed demonstrations of credential encoding, configuration and management with HID’s iCLASS SE CP1000 Encoder and the company’s Lumidigm biometrics technology with multispectral imaging, which can read unique fingerprint characteristics from the surface/subsurface of the skin.
