IMPLEMENTED SOLUTION

Actuasys EXPERT Solution for Access at the factory premises in Póvoa de Santa Iria (Solvay Portugal) and the shared services centre in Carnaxide (Solvay Business). The implemented solution controls the access of employees, suppliers and visitors, limiting the passage through doors, turnstiles, and barriers for light and heavy vehicles. There are around 38 registration and access control points using UMV5 terminals with RFID and fingerprint biometrics technology.

The Solvay Group benefits from the modular structure of the Actuasys EXPERT solution and also makes use of the EXPERT Expenses Module for the management of the canteen in Solvay Portugal’s facilities. The Solvay Group also makes use of the Actuasys INTERFACE solution, supported by UMV5 and UMV6 terminals.

The Solvay Group has been a customer of Actuasys since 2000, with the implementation of the system at Solvay Portugal’s premises. In 2006, it was extended to Solvay Business’s facilities in Carnaxide.

MOTIVATION

With the implementation of the Actuasys solutions, the Solvay Group wanted to ensure the control of entries and exits of employees, suppliers and visitors to its facilities and, at the same time, ensure the time management control of its employees through a solution of SAP-certified point marking terminals, such as the UMV3/6 terminals supported by the Actuasys INTERFACE software, and currently have 25 of them installed.
