Access Control & Visitor Management Case Study: Armenian Manufacturer

Access Control and Visitor Management Case Study

Armenian Industrial Complex

Overview

With multiple facilities, complex infrastructure and a great number of people working and visiting the site on a daily basis, large manufacturing plants have a strong need for an effective access control system to maintain physical security, protect their valuable assets and better lower and manage risk. Most organizations adopt a set of security measures and make use of both specialized hardware, like fences, turnstiles and access control systems, and advanced technologies. Many of them deploy AI-powered physical security solutions that are programmed to work in tandem with existing cameras and create a truly intelligent access control and proactive surveillance system.

CHALLENGE

As a large industrial complex, this Armenian manufacturing plant bundles many physical security needs together, among which effective access control and video surveillance are of primary importance. In this respect, it needs:

to implement effective real-time monitoring of the entire premises through the existing video surveillance system (though the site was equipped with cameras, those proved to be practically useless, as human personnel were not able to review videos from multiple cameras 24/7, which resulted in a reduced situational awareness and missing of critical events)

to optimize access control system and ensure fast, accurate, and secure verification process for the plant employees and visitors and manage access to restricted areas in the facility (turnstiles and badges alone didn’t provide an effective and secure access control at the entry and exit points, as well as restricted access to secure areas)

to prevent unauthorized access and tailgating

given the large number and variety of facilities, heavy inflow and outflow of employees, and the size of the site, it turned out to be problematic for the security staff to have situational awareness, control all areas of the site and timely respond to emerging situations

OUR SOLUTION

Scylla analytics is easily integrated with the existing security infrastructure and access control system, providing centralized access control within all facilities without additional replacement or hardware costs.

Scylla’s Facial Recognition software utilizes robust AI and machine learning to authenticate employees and visitors at the entrance and exit points, analyzes their access permissions, and either confirms their entry or sends an immediate alert when an unauthorized individual or a person from the watchlist has been detected. Combined with the existing badge system, face recognition serves as a source for multifactor authentication and adds an extra level of security.

Scylla AI-powered facial recognition is utilized to make access to secure zones more limited and restricted. Only employees with the right access permission are allowed to enter certain areas in the facility.

Access management is easily implemented from Scylla’s dashboard. It allows setting different levels of access for different departments and individuals, granting each of them a specific set of permissions. Security personnel can also define specific zones for monitoring.

Scylla analytics provides smart stats of historical analysis, for example, the time when employees clock-in and clock-out and calculate overwork time. All the data is presented on the dashboard in graphics and diagrams for the user’s convenience.

Being built on state-of-the-art deep learning techniques, Scylla Face Recognition ensures the accuracy of up to 99.85% and higher identification speed. The system performs geometric recognition and processes a huge amount of data within seconds. Verification can be implemented in the middle of a crowd, identifying thousands of faces simultaneously, even within dynamic and unstable environments.

Customer testimonial

Using Scylla helped us optimize surveillance and centralize access control within all our facilities. We’ve got an effective security infrastructure and advanced analytics that can provide actionable insights. Scylla allowed us to actively improve access control and security response. Now we implement two-factor authentication, using both badges and Scylla’s facial recognition software integrated with the cameras that we already have at our facilities. It helps us facilitate the verification process and also manage access to secure areas.
