Genetec Releases Access Control Feature That Identifies Those at Risk of Being Contagious
Genetec Inc., a provider of unified security, public safety, operations and business intelligence solutions, today announced it has released a new reporting function for its Security Center Synergis access control system. This report helps identify all people who are at increased risk of being in contact with contaminants or contagious individuals, and will be also useful for customers that handle dangerous substances. It is made available to all Genetec Synergis access control customers at no cost.
Developed at the request of McCormick Place in Chicago, North America’s largest convention center, the reporting function correlates physical proximity of an infected individual with other employees and badged visitors based on the use of the access control system. A report can quickly be generated to correlate access events by time window to identify people who are at increased risk of being in contact with contaminants or contagious individuals. This will allow enterprises to proactively advise individuals of their potential contamination and take the necessary hygienic precautions, as outlined by health and safety procedures and regulations.
