What
is Access Control?
Access
Control is the management of who goes where and when. It starts
with the unique access credentials issued to every person who is
allowed to enter. Software defines the entrances, times and rules
for entry of each credential holder, or for a group. This information
is then distributed to various door, elevator and control panels
for quick, dependable decision making each and every time a person
requests to unlock a door.
Companies,
offices and institutions benefit from Access Control via:
-
Reduced losses due to inventory shrinkage, walk-in thieves and insecure asset storage.
-
Improved management of occupational health and safety risks associated with hazardous areas and materials.
-
Limiting physical access to areas storing sensitive information.
-
Records of movement useful for investigating unexpected or undesired activity.
-
Alarms from intrusion detectors or from plant equipment can be given a rapid response.
Controlled
access opens up your facility. Giving "credentials" to
everyone working in the facility is made economical and secure.
Main entrances which need to be opened for business hours are regularly
and dependably unlocked and locked.
