Critical infrastructure facilities like power plants and ports are often exceptionally large and have open configurations that may include a campus of buildings and outdoor areas. Typically, there is a significant amount of highly technical, expensive, and hazardous machinery on the site, creating a mandate of accountability which requires that only credentialed employees and visitors be allowed into any part of the facility. One way to facilitate the high level of security needed it to create a layered security solution to prevent vehicle and pedestrian ingress.

Creating Accountability

High-security portals or security revolving doors can be integrated with access control and biometric technology to help ensure that the person entering a high-security facility is who their credentials say they are. This way you can be sure that only one person has entered for each set of credentials, and prevent passback, wherein someone hands their credentials back to another person enabling them to enter. Portals also eliminate the possibility of tailgating, when multiple people pass through on a single credential swipe.

Integrating Biometric-based Entrance Solutions

Biometric-based access control solutions offer even tighter exterior / interior control, and the Pandemic-era large advancements have been made in both the touchless entry and biometrics. Speed gates can be easily integrated with GDPR-compliant AI facial recognition technology to ensure only authorised personnel can be in highly sensitive areas of the facility. Software such as this also assists in allowing companies to determine numbers of staff quickly and effectively in one area and to quickly determine who is where at what time. Settings can be fine-tuned down to setting times that access will be approved per person at each shift. Knowing the whereabout of your employees in these critical organisations is paramount when it comes to having to evacuate in case of fire or another emergency.

Accuracy and Speed Through Security Entrances

Getting through layered security can potentially be a complex and inconvenient process. While using this layered security helps to prevent terrorism, espionage, and other threats from happening at critical infrastructure locations, it is essential to make it quick and efficient to prevent bottlenecks and delays when many people need to enter or exit. Security entrance throughput can be calculated to determine exactly how many entrances are required to accommodate the number of people in the facility.

Protecting our Infrastructure

Power plants, railways, dams, chemical plants, and other facilities comprise the infrastructure on which our society runs. However, this makes them targets for terrorism, espionage, and other disruptive and destructive actions. Layered security including security entrances can protect these large, often open facilities with access control that is extremely accurate, efficient, and secure.
