Keytracker has developed a platform known as a restricted key access system combines hardware with administration software that is easy to operate, to limit access to only those keys the user is authorised to use.
Sectors that can use the system include construction, engineering, property, education and health sectors as well as automotive retail, where access to vehicles, plant or different areas is controlled by the use of physical keys.
Andy Smith, general manager of Keytracker, said: “By combining these systems with Ievo’s biometric recognition technology and the corresponding software, we have created an ultra-secure solution that ensures and tracks the release of specific keys to specific people.”
The restricted key access system combines hardware with easy to operate administration software restricting access to only those keys the user is authorised to use.
By integrating the system with Ievo’s biometric fingerprint readers the potential for fraudulent access via stolen swipe cards or pin codes is made obsolete adding this new layer of security. In addition the registration process has been integrated into the existing software to allow direct and simple user control, which saves the installer time.
“We’re already talking to potential clients within healthcare, where areas like drug storage must be kept under strict control, logistics and construction where only licensed personnel are allowed access to specific vehicles and plant, but the possibilities are endless,” said Smith.
Ievo’s fingerprint readers use multispectral imaging (MSI) to scan and capture data, using multiple light sources to read not only the surface of the skin, but also data points from the subsurface level of a finger. The different light sources can penetrate levels of moisture and debris present on the skin to read data points below.
The method allows for a high number of uniquely identifiable data points to be recognised and used for a more accurate, reliable and efficient verification process.
