An upgraded access control solution at the Gothenburg headquarters of biometrics company Fingerprint Cards AB embeds the company's own sensors into access cards from Freevolt Technologies.
By replacing access keyfobs with biometrics access cards, site-wide security has been enhanced and role-based access control enabled to better control access to sensitive areas of the site (including areas of the campus dedicated to hardware and software R&D).
Caroline Krüger, Fingerprints CHRO, says “The workplace has evolved significantly in recent years.
At Fingerprints, we offer hybrid working whilst still ensuring our workforce has 24/7 access to HQ.
Amidst this dynamic working environment, it is essential our team feels the workplace is accessible and safe.
This requires a flexible, secure and convenient access control solution.”
The implementation uses Freevolt’s flagship biometric access card solution, S-Key which eliminates the security risk of lost or stolen cards, enhanced by Fingerprints’ latest ‘T2’ sensors for optimised image quality, processing speed and power efficiency.
Adam Philpott, CEO of Fingerprints, explains: “To meet today’s security challenges we must move away from traditional security methods.
And, as a biometrics company, it is important that we lead the way in ensuring robust, frictionless security in our own operations.
The workplace has evolved significantly in recent years. At Fingerprints, we offer hybrid working whilst still ensuring our workforce has 24/7 access to HQ.
There is an opportunity here too; what can we learn, what innovations will we identify by using these systems day to day?
I look forward to continuing our strong and innovative collaboration with Freevolt technologies.”
Gonzalo de Gisbert, Head of Product & Business Development at Freevolt Technologies, adds: “Fingerprints are leaders in biometrics, with sensors in billions of products, so they know what makes a good biometric solution.
We’re therefore thrilled that Fingerprints has chosen S-Key to strengthen security at their global headquarters, in Gothenburg.
Our leading radio frequency energy harvesting technology combined with Fingerprints’ ‘T2’ sensors, known as FPC 1323, enables S-Key to be completely battery-less, lasting for many years.
Roll-out was seamless, with everyone set-up in less than 1 hour.
That’s simple, safe, and secure biometrics, powered by Freevolt.”
