Why Construction Biometric Access Control is Important

Biometric access control technology has advanced massively in recent years bringing facial recognition to the forefront of construction site security systems. VIS have trailblazed this solution and during lockdown launched our first contactless solution to help keep sites operational and safe during the Covid pandemic. This innovation was recognised in construction news specialist contribution to construction awards in 2022. Face scanning offers unparalleled security for construction sites, unlike traditional methods like keycards, fingerprint or PIN codes, biometric face detection and authentication relies on hundreds of unique biological characteristics.

Facial recognition, biometric access control makes your site much more safe and secure, simply down to the fact that only individuals with pre granted access based on data that can’t be changed will be able to enter your construction site.
