Customer NBE at Natural Cool Building

One of our customer NBE International at Natural Cool Building is using a Single FS20 Fingerprint Reader to control two separate doors to the office.

In this case, the staff can enter the office by either doors after presenting their finger on the reader.

Another innovative idea from Hense Technology. If you have an specific or special requirement on the fingerprint technology, do contact us for a discussion. I am confident that you will be surprised at the many applications you can do with your fingers.

Another customer - Goodrich the wallpaper specialist

Our latest customer, Goodrich the wallpaper and wall covering specialist has chosen our FS20 Fingerprint Reader for their staff Time Attendance and Access Control. Location is at their corporate building in Changi South.

Here is one of the location at the entrance to their gallery, look at the beautiful wall covering where the FS20 Fingerprint Reader is mounted. 8 units were installed in the GoodRich building where 2 units are strictly for Time Attendance and 6 units for access to key locations including the stores. The fingerprint TA help them to automate their payroll which is very complex as they have many staff on different shifts plus overtime since they can work during odd hours.

Well, the name itself reflect the success of the company GOOD n RICH.

More Unauthorized access to HDB Rooftops

Just reported in the past 3 days, more authorized access to HDB roof tops. So will changing to high quality locks about S$50 each prevent future unauthorized access? Can people still prise open the latches with the change to high quality locks? Well, following photos tells the truth:

          

 

Notice lock latch is incorrectly mounted.

For older roof top access, here are the concerns:

Certainly, to spend $10M on the lock change, it can be used to upgrade to a more secure, automated and efficient biometric system.

Foolproof system to control the access to HDB rooftop and pump room - Trial Done

In the past week, the discovery of a maid body in Woodland HBD block water tank highlights the urgent need for foolproof system to control and manage the access of rooftops and pump rooms rather than the traditional method of signing out physical keys from town council offices. A similar incident back in 2003 whereby some kids pouedr soap powder at the water pump room sparkled off a serious debate to have an automated secure and foolproof system to manage the access in HDB blocks.

  

                                                                                                          

Hense Technology with another partner did a Trial project as a POC with East Coat Town Council to secure the rooftops and pump rooms of 4 HDB blocks in Simei in 2007/8 with the following features:

- Authorized personnels will have their fingers registered in the Town Council system and only they can open the rooftop access or the pump rooms
- All access to the rooftops and pump rooms are installed with fingerprint readers that is linked to the Town Council systems using broadband/3G network. This allows real-time control of these access control point by the town council management staff
- The time period to whom and which group of workers allow to access the rooftops are set and managed by the town council staff. Example if group a with supervisor Mr X is allowed to block 123 at 10am to 2pm, then the access permission will be set in the system and after 2pm Mr X and team cannot access the rooftop.

- No physical keys to signout at town council offices and contractors do not need return or make spares key.

- There is no need to have to change locks when the keys are missing or any breach in the access, saving of thousands of dollars in locks and keys replacement

- All the access records are tracked real-time at the Town Council office thus any future need to trace the access personnel on a particular day is in the database.

- For added security, door sensors can be added with the system such as when any doors or access are forced or left open accidentally, it will sound an alarm locally and also an alarm to the Town Council office.

 So, if the various town councils are keen to review this foolproof fingerprint access control management systems for their HDB blocks to secure the access to rooftops/watertanks and water pump rooms, we are ready to demo the full effectiveness and secure features. With automated systems, town councils will no longer need to manage the huge numbers of keys to so many locks to highly secured areas like rooftops and pump rooms. This system will payoff itself in the long run with no more locks and key replacement cost plus the added security features.
