RecFaces facial recognition system transforms iSpace smart office in Dubai

Unlike conventional offices, iSpace offers a wide range of highly adaptable work area layouts and multifunctional design. At its core, iSpace is powered by a developed IT infrastructure that provides access to the latest services. For example, through a special mobile app developed by Inex Digital, workers can do many things remotely:

• manage offices
• reserve workplaces
• book meeting rooms
• apply for visit requests

The partnership between RecFaces and Inex Group ensures that this high-tech experience remains secure and comfortable for everyone.

RecFaces’ Id-Gate solution has enriched iSpace’s access control and management systems at entry and exit points with biometric technology. This integration allows for quick and easy identification of individuals, enabling security personnel to utilize new biometric capabilities through familiar graphical interfaces.

With Id-Gate, it is sufficient to register a visitor and their image only once. The system facilitates quick temporary guest access upon request without the need to issue a guest pass to the office. Facial recognition also enables workers to effortlessly pass through automatic doors and turnstiles, and use elevators and storage lockers.

While Id-Gate's intelligent system grants access to a smart locker system for secure storage of personal belongings, the Id-Welcome software, which was also implemented alongside Id-Gate, can display personalized greetings and any other customized media content. This software combination can significantly boost loyalty and provide a high level of hospitality within the facility.

Face image access control terminals are located at the entrances to the office space, while each locker area has its own management terminal. Upon authentication of an employee or a visitor by their face image, the system grants access to personal lockers. This eliminates the need for physical access cards or memorizing one-time passwords. Users simply have to look in the direction of the terminal, undergo a quick facial identification, and open a chosen locker.

Security services and room support administrators also utilize facial recognition to manage office spaces, providing authorized users with access to conference rooms and monitoring meeting room occupancy in real time. The data collection system aggregates office workload statistics and offers comprehensive analytics on visit data, further improving space management, comfort, and safety.

We are committed to providing the most advanced and proven technological solutions to our customers. Integrating intelligent systems into next-generation offices offers a number of advantages over conventional office formats.

Key priorities, such as providing access to cutting-edge IT infrastructure, were envisaged and implemented by our team within iSpace – the concept of technologically organized office space. In addition to existing biometric capabilities, we are exploring the possibility of implementing password-free employee authentication in corporate information systems using facial recognition technology. This will further enhance user convenience and information security.

                       says Pavel Taptygin, Head of Leasing and Asset Management at Inex Group.

Eugenia Marina, RecFaces Business Development Director for MENA, notes:

We are witnessing a consistently high demand for ready-made biometric solutions with facial recognition among A++ class business centers and smart offices. iSpace accommodates hundreds of employees, visitors, and maintenance staff daily. The integration of various biometric solutions ensures a comfortable and secure office experience for everyone.

Additionally, smart video surveillance promptly identifies and responds to potential security incidents and access violations, while minimizing the time required to investigate such incidents. Besides, the system tracks the movement of employees and visitors, generating statistics on office space occupancy.

An intelligent system with biometric capabilities is now operating in the iSpace building complexes in the UAE and Cyprus.
