Star Link owns a credit to
work on different projects resolving the most critical prevailing
problems in big set-ups. Here I will discuss one of the major problem
Star Link was able to cope-up easily by providing an appropriate
solution and services.
Problem:-
In 2003, Maruti Udyog Ltd.
(now its Maruti Suzuki) faced major issue related to the negligent
behavior of Security guards in the periphery of the factory. The
Guards in duty were showing irresponsible behavior during night
times. They were mostly found sleeping in any corner of the compound
being unaware of the problems like AC failure, Power Cuts and other
unwanted movements in the premises. This was prevailing for longer
times and the management were not finding any solution.
Star Link suggested Maruti
Udyog Ltd. (now its Maruti Suzuki) to install Industrial Model of their Biometric Access Control System, which worked on fingerprint
and smart card.
The Industrial Model is perfect device for industrial
environments as it is robust with its metallic body making it vandal
proof. Also, this device comes with built-in battery with back-up of
almost 3-6 hrs. It can store 65,000 records and 25,000 fingerprints
templates. This machine is synchronized with software for proper
functioning and detailed records.
Process:-
Industrial Model is
installed at different points in the periphery of the factory. The
Guards are provided with contact less Smart ID card with fingerprint
and his information. Guard has to simply register his fingerprint
with his information which can be uploaded in the software (provided
by Star Link). The whole process of writing this smart ID card takes
fraction of seconds, after which smart card is ready to be used by
the guards during their duty time.

During
patrolling, the guards have to carry this card with them and show
this card to the machines installed at different points. Each machine
installed at different point has some unique ID and name to identify
the location for easy understanding. They have to follow few steps
for successful authentication, which includes verifying his
fingerprints by putting his finger on the machine. Firstly the guard
will show his smart card, then after message of “Put Finger” he
will verify his finger print and then again have to show cards after
the message “Show Card”. After successful authentication Green
Light will glow, verifying the process. The same process is repeated
at every machine on his patrolling track.
During this
process, data is transferred repeatedly to-and-fro from machine to
card and vice-verse. The data which is transferred to the card is –
“Machine health” like battery status, connectivity; and the
details of punching like date and time. These details are stored in
his card; this reduces the necessity of wiring and connectivity to
connect every machine with server. The only requirement is card
that stores the data at different points.
When the day
is called off, the guard has to come in security office and show card
to one other machine in Control Room which marks his end of the duty.
During this, his all data is transferred to the machine with a green
light indicator with a long beep, indicating successful operation.
Outcome:-
Now,
Guards were unable to manipulate the attendance system due to the
features Industrial Model that accepts only biometric inputs like
fingerprints (unique physical identity). They are bound to do their
duty sincerely without any proxy in attendance.
This whole process is helping the
security officials and company personals to make the weekly and
monthly report on the basis of Guard's Info and machine health
report. Now, Maruti Udyog Ltd. (now Maruti Suzuki) is very satisfied
with the installation of this system, which helped them to find the
security solution for their prevailing problems they were facing for
so longer. All Credit goes to Industrial Model of Star Link Biometric Access Control.
