Construction site facial recognition system

At VIS Systems, we are proud to be providing cutting edge biometric facial recognition technology that is a rapid, safe, and contact free access control system, designed for construction site security.

What Is Facial Recognition?

Facial recognition is precisely what's used for construction biometric access control, providing a secure way to manage site entry without running the risk of sharing keycards or codes with fellow employees. 

Unlike traditional construction site access control systems that rely on these kinds of entries, fingerprint scanners and facial recognition technology ensures an efficient and highly secure process. 

By using advanced biometric software, workers’ facial features are scanned and stored securely, allowing instant verification upon arrival at the site.

For access control in construction, this technology not only keeps the site secure but also accounts for lost keycards or forgotten PINs so you can get staff on-site without interruption to the working day.

As an integral part of modern turnstile access control security systems, facial recognition enhances safety, ensures compliance with site security regulations, and speeds up workforce entry. Whether used on large-scale developments or smaller projects, our construction site facial recognition helps site managers maintain full control over who enters and exits at any given time.

About Our Facial Recognition System

We understood that there was a clear issue with how construction site access control was operating, with the spread of germs between staff and the corners that could be cut when it came to security, it was important we introduced an alternative. 

For that reason, we began using facial recognition technology on our products to commit to a pursuit for heightened security. 

Our Facial Recognition product was shortlisted for the Construction News specialist contribution to construction award in 2022 for helping to keep sites safe during the pandemic with contactless site access control.

Compared with other options now available in the marketplace, our modern day plug and play solution has been rigorously tried and tested across a variety of sectors from fit-out to major new build and civil engineering projects.

How Do Facial Recognition Systems Work?

A facial recognition system from our team works to provide a security system that is sophisticated and driven by AI software. 

Prior to staff starting work, they will have their face scanned so it can be stored on the cloud for future use of facial recognition, this will then allow them to enter the site freely, without the need of keycards, fobs or costly guards.

At the first instance, the personnel attempting access will have their image captured, this camera can work in both light and dark settings making it secure all year round.

The biometric technology then matches the face to the correct profile, allowing or denying access. 

This takes just seconds and reduces unnecessary delays. On construction sites, this is crucial to ensure that access is only granted to the correctly trained people, making for a safer environment for all and reducing the risk of you becoming liable for incidents that could have been avoided.

This facial recognition system is how access is granted through security turnstiles, gates and or barriers. This makes your life easier, knowing you can rest assured that the only people on site are the ones that are qualified to be there.

The Benefits of Using Biometric Facial Recognition Technology 

The benefits are endless when it comes to using a safer, touch free and faster biometric access control system for construction site security.

Biometric data cannot be altered, plus with ever growing advancements in AI, it only gets more and more difficult for anybody to fool facial recognition technology. 

Not only do you avoid the criminal side effects of lacking in security, but you also streamline your admin for a more professionalised and straightforward way of handling staff, time and attendance and management. 

Some of the key benefits of utilising a facial recognition system for your construction site include…

• Full integration with our Time & Attendance Software
• Integration with POD & Kiosk products from VIS Systems
• Easy upload of biometric data (even during off-site pre-enrolment) 
• More hygienic way of access control
• Prevention of time theft (other workers clocking in for their colleagues)
• Increased compliance and safety
• Minimises security staffing costs
• Suitable for large or small scale projects and construction sites

By completely removing the need for expensive and unhygienic fingerprint technology or access cards, we at VIS Systems can ensure that our clients have the most advanced technology to maintain a safe, secure, and productive construction site.

Facial Recognition Vs. Pin / Card  Entry

When comparing biometric access control construction to traditional PIN or card entry systems, facial recognition stands out as the superior option for construction site access control. 

Ultimately, PIN codes are simply outdated, they can be easily shared, making it difficult to enforce security and check workforce operations. All the while, keycards can be lost, stolen, or even duplicated which is a serious security breach. 

These weak spots leave construction sites vulnerable to unauthorised access, safety risks, and potential project delays due to such instances.

That is why construction site facial recognition eliminates these security flaws, we at VIS Systems understood that there was the need for workers to gain entry without the need for physical credentials, reducing congestion at entry and exit points at the end of a working day.

Plus, when integrated with turnstile access control security systems, facial recognition provides instant verification, ensuring that only authorised and trained personnel enter the site. 

This not only strengthens security but also enhances operational efficiency, preventing delays caused by lost credentials or manual verification processes. By adopting facial recognition for construction biometric access control, you as the site manager can create a safer, more organised work environment while reducing administrative burdens associated with traditional access systems.
