Manages secure, efficient entry by tracking entrants, verifying IDs, and maintaining digital entry-exit logs.
Affluent children aged in their upper teens were arriving in groups and in cars and creating huge traffic jams at the gate especially when entering in mornings. It was difficult to authenticate each entrant and nor it was possible to segregate the unwanted entrant. University wanted to ban the use of entry by motor vehicle and also to restrict ingress at management’s desire.
Restriction of Space at entrance Untrained staff at gate Poor cordination between backend administrators & gate operators Lack of internet infrastructure at gate Management did not want to use NFC solution in first phase because of expected mishandling of expensive NFC phones.
A Biometric fingerprint machine was integrated with a full height turnstile gate to make sure only authenticated students could enter the campus singly.
Entrant was barred from use of his / her finger again unless he / she has made an exit entry on second device place remote from the turnstile.
Moreover the admin even sitting 1000 meters away from main gate had powers to block any entry / exit with a one click feature.
A permanent computer installed at the gate room was connected to both turnstile / biometric machines through a local network cable.
All data was available on real time basis to the gate staff.
Since the Local PC should be accessible by more intelligent people than the gate guards, future systems would be better placed at the main server room and be connected through local LAN wires to the biometric hardware at the gate. However, the Management has been sensitized to the virtues of our NFC solution and are now willing to try it out in the next phase.
The “Assistance Control” project was inspired by the basic idea of the “Bologna Process”, a Pan-European collaboration which started in 1999, to adapt technology to provide a better quality of education that would allow improvement of the next generation of classroom teaching.
The best project finally chosen and tested involved students registered for classes with NFC phones, during the academic year 2011–2012 at “Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca, Campus Madrid” (UPSAM).
This resulted in the senior students at the School of Computer Engineering to certify 99.5% accuracy and ease of attendance that ensured continuous assessment without loss of instructional time allocated to this activity.
