Maybe you have seen biometric
technology only in sci-fi movies, but do not know what the specification about
them and how do they work. Today, injes.com tells you. With the revolution of
technology, biometrics has smoothly ascended from the reel to the real world.
So much so that it is no longer a hallmark of intelligence agencies anymore.
Today, biometric security is very much a part of everyday life. Biometric
access control is the common use around in our life.
Biometrics is the
science and technology involved in the measurement and analysis of biological
data, viz. fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, DNA, facial patterns, voice patterns,
hand measurements etc. These are unique characteristics of the human body that
differ from individual to individual. This uniqueness of the parameters has
rendered wide-spread usage of biometrics as access control systems, apart from
the usual identification, authentication and verification systems.
These days, biometric access control
systems are also being used as a measure to record attendance of
employees. This is of huge importance in sectors where employee wages depend on
the number of hours they have worked. An example would be construction works
where laborers are mostly paid on the basis of the number of hours they work.
In such situations, biometric computer logons serve as an effective method to
correctly calculate the number of work hours for each employee.
For such uses, fingerprint
readers are most apt as fingerprints are easy to record. Also,
fingerprints being highly unique in nature, there is very little room for
machine error. With the help of a fingerprint reader a computer-based logon
system can easily record the entry and exit timings of each worker and thereby
help in correctly deciding the corresponding remunerations.
A more advanced system
can be developed with the help of a fingerprint door lock. These systems
usually require a combination of a fingerprint scan and a pre-assigned number
(it can be an employee id in this case). These systems serve as excellent
access control systems and can be easily modified to suit the needs of
particular construction site. It can also serve as a measure to restrict
unwanted entrants to the area of work and can help in avoiding uncalled for
accidents.
With the growing
popularity of fingerprint readers, more and more companies are launching
new-age fingerprint scanners. Most of these have sensitive sensors that can
automatically detect a new finger in the vicinity. Some even feature "live
finger detection" functions that help in ruling out chances of forgery
through fake fingers. The fingerprint readers usually come with a sturdy built
and are capable of withstanding the rough environments usually faced at
construction sites.
The use of fingerprint
access control systems at construction sites is a cost-effective method of
access control as well as attendance calculation. It not only saves manual
labor and time for the process but also eliminates possibilities of manual
error. As a result more and more constructors are opting for biometric computer
logons at their site of work.
INJES is one of the
market leaders in the development and implementation of non intrusive biometric
technology using fingerprint scanner, iris recognition, signature, face and
other biometric identification systems.
