Access control systems with fingerprint verification provide even greater security.

Higher security with fingerprint identification

Access control systems with optional fingerprint verification provide enhanced security. This ensures that only authorized individuals gain access, rather than anyone merely possessing the access medium. The fingerprint is stored exclusively on the personal access medium and not elsewhere, allowing for prompt verification. This process effectively prevents the transfer of (membership) cards. A check-in is required to use secure Gantner lockers or Gantner machines for cashless payments.

How does it work?

Some Gantner terminals are equipped with a fingerprint reader. In this system, the stored fingerprint data on the card is compared with the fingerprint of the authorized individual. This additional verification step enhances identity confirmation. Only the legitimate cardholder can gain access to the facility without the need for personnel checks. Fingerprints are quickly and easily scanned and stored on the chip card through an enrollment station, which records images of two fingers for verification. This ensures that, even in the event of a finger injury, a "backup key" is always available.

The new biometric access control solution guarantees operators that chip cards or wristbands cannot simply be passed on. Verification is seamless and unobtrusive, allowing visitors to feel comfortable without the need to present identification.

Benefits of a biometric system

🛡️ Increased security & producitivity

Biometric security automates access control and time and attendance records and thus saves time for employees.

💳 Prevent fraud

One of the major benefits of investing in this type of system is that it can help to decrease fraud by ensuring that only permitted employees are able to access, using details that cannot be replicated.

↗️ Scalable

As your business develops and grows, it’s important to have systems in place that can scale with the growth of your business. Biometric security systems are flexible and easily scalable. Whether you want to secure more areas of your facility or just add more data for additional employees, biometric security systems will grow alongside your business for ease and security.

👆 Convenient & versatile

Fingerprint security systems are very convenient for both those using it and those managing it. For employees and other personnel, it’s considerably easier to use biometric identification rather than remembering passwords or keeping a badge or identification card on their person at all times.

⌚ Efficient

Biometric identification functions very quickly, typically identifying an employee or visitor in a matter of seconds. This helps keep productivity steady while also keeping your business secure.

🧑 Accurate identification

Biometric systems provide more accurate identification, lowering your risk of unwanted entries. With this type of security system, access is granted not by passwords but by biological characteristics like scans of fingerprints which are not possible to duplicate.

Applications of Biometric Systems

Self-Service Check-In – Fast access or check-in without the need for staff.

Check-in is required to utilize electronically secured lockers or to make cashless payments at machines—both of which can also be part of a comprehensive GANTNER system.

Traceability – Who checked in, when, and how often?

Gantner makes access control easier, safer, and faster than ever before. With automated, contactless check-in and access solutions, you always know exactly who has checked in and how often.

Additional Options

Do your members/employees wish to use a locker or cabinet, or consume food and beverages cashlessly? If so, a Gantner system ensures that only checked-in individuals, registered as present, can take advantage of these services. Gantner's tamper-proof biometric fingerprint solutions provide an even higher level of security.
