Over the past decade,
there has been substantial growth in global business, of which the manufacturing industry plays a large
part. This, accompanied by an increase in intelligent manufacturing equipment,
increased connectivity of equipment and software both internally within a
company, and with external partners has led to an increase in the probability
of attacks and threats to these systems. Combine this with the current events
and the additional requirements of governmental regulation, and several
businesses in advanced manufacturing have to increase both physical and logical security.
Corporations
and manufacturing facilities allocate significant funds to protect access to
their physical facilities as well as proprietary information. From legal
documents to employee personnel information to dedicated servers, businesses
house highly-secure equipment and information and restricting access to select
personnel can be a challenge.
Biometrics
will play a major role in different industries, from medicine, science,
robotics, engineering, manufacturing and all areas of vertical enterprise
businesses. Employers use biometric technologies to record time and attendance,
monitor physical access to high security locations, and control network access
by mobile employees. The most mature uses of the biometrics are surveillance
and screening applications, access control and citizen identification. The
number of customer care applications is also increasing.
Fingerprint scanners
are easy to install and administer, and eliminate the cost and security risks
associated with access cards and pin numbers. Using a fingerprint biometric can
also help companies save by eliminating “buddy
punching.” With Integrated Biometrics (Face+Fingerprint) owning the entire product chain, from
technology development to customer service and management solutions, they can
provide any number of customizable options that provide a corporation with
greater security while maintaining cost efficiencies.
