Interface Expert Attendance Access Reception UMV5 UMV6 TUX900

IMPLEMENTED SOLUTION

INTERFACE solution for the integration of attendance events in SAP and EXPERT solution for Access, in which the entire logic of granting access profiles is supported on a specific Lactogal platform into which we integrated using custom webservices.

As part of this project undertaken at the end of 2018, in addition to the INTERFACE and EXPERT solutions for Access, we installed around 40 UMV5, TUX 930 and UMV6 terminals, with the 2 latter units intended for registering employee attendance and, cumulatively, controlling the opening of the doors to the headquarters, production units and commercial offices. In order to guarantee compliance with the practices for granting access to Employees, Visitors and External Entities, it was considered important to synchronise the access profiles of all the individuals from an external platform dedicated to managing logical and physical access within the entire Lactogal operation using webservices. Additionally, and to assist in the reception of visitors to the headquarters, an Entry Point web module was provided for the Expert solution for Access.

MOTIVATION

With this project, it was intended to achieve 5 major objectives: complete renewal of all existing attendance registration equipment, maintaining focus on a certified solution, totally integrated with SAP HCM; adoption of more up-to-date and convenient identification technologies, specifically based on the use of proximity cards and fingerprint biometrics; standardisation of the different access control management systems, with guaranteed centralised control, without the loss of operational autonomy by production units; integration between SAP and management and access control systems, for greater rigour and consistency in systems controlling the circulation of persons and security; and optimisation of the process of managing identity cards for the entire Lactogal operation.
