RecFaces implements facial recognition solution in Guatemala’s major industrial enterprise enhancing its security

In February 2023, the Id-Gate solution developed by RecFaces, the Dubai-based company, became part of a major project to ensure the security of the ferronickel industrial enterprise in El Estor, Guatemala.
Compañía Procesadora de Niquel de Izabal is a manufacturing plant with over 1800 employees. The project is aimed at improving the security of the enterprise, preventing violations, and ensuring accurate reports on actual hours worked.
The Id-Gate software is specifically designed to verify the access rights of company employees or visitors via biometric face identification rather than less secure keycards or RFID cards. When a user comes into the entrance area, the installed cameras or scanners take a picture of their face, which is then utilized to create a biometric template. After that, it is checked for compliance with the data in the profile database, and depending on the results, the person is either allowed to enter the facility or denied entry by the system.
Id-Gate compares the data from the video stream to a list of pre-loaded biometric profiles, as well as with any previously detected images. Upon uploading a list of such profiles and giving the “list” attribute to them, the solution instantly provides security officers with information on recognized or unrecognized people, their membership, and so on.
With RecFaces’ Id-Gate biometric solution, the security service managed to provide contactless access for the plant’s employees at the checkpoint area, which helped to save time and increase throughput.
says CTO of the company.
The goal of Id-Gate facial recognition software is to make sure that only authorized people have access to a private area of the facility. Besides, it enables the HR department to track actual hours worked, calculate salaries, and avoid violations of work ethics; it improves employee efficiency and assures a higher security of the object.
he adds.
With off-the-shelf biometric solutions, critical manufacturing enterprises can track when and where personnel enter the plant, assuring their safety at any given time. The once-popular “RFID-card” technology is not only easy to bypass but it also lacks the level of security required when entering restricted places. It's not hard to imagine friends or colleagues passing over a standard keycard in order to gain access to secured areas with ease or punching a time card for a friend.
Facial recognition allows businesses to ensure that security protocols are not disregarded. To make facial recognition applicable then and there, RecFaces developed adapters that can be installed with just a few clicks, allowing for the exchange of a wide range of data between systems in real-time.
As facial recognition technology evolves, there is a significant increase in demand for security enhancements at critical industrial enterprises, driven by the rising number of terrorist activities coupled with the increasing theft activities of crucial data and information. Analytical agencies agree on forecasts of FRT market growth from 25 to 35% annually until 2028.
Thus, in 2022, RecFaces announced several other large-scale projects, including biometric identification of passengers at the Bangkok Metro Chong Nonsi Skywalk and the Telecom Egypt data center.
