EDITOR’S NOTE China Intends to Dominate Worldwide Robotics Development Lately, we saw service robots start to appear in retail stores to interact with customers. One bar in Vegas even intends to have a robot staff to help with customers’ orders and clean the tables. In factories, their collaborative arms help operators complete multiple tasks and many human operators in assembly lines have been replaced by robots. The International Federation of Robotics’ 2016 report stated that industrial robots worldwide are largely working in the automotive, electrical/ electronics, and metal and machinery industry segments. The strongest growth figures, in terms of robot implementation, was in Europe with 25 percent in 2015. The U.S. had the fourth largest single market for industrial robots, with a 17 percent rise to a new record of 36,000 units in 2015. In the report, China remained quite low in robot density compared to other countries. However, the country’s national 10-year plan, entitled “Made in China 2025,” sets a 600,000 to 650,000 new industrial robots installation target. In terms of global sales market for industrial robots, China is in the leading position; with Korea and Japan in second and third place. This month, China also announced that artificial intelligence will be a major part of the country’s upcoming national plan “to gain a lead in cutting-edge technology,” and soon it will launch strategies to boost AI development through 2030. We will soon see robots and other AI-related technologies from China sold widely across the globe.

NVIDIA Metropolis AI Platform Makes Cities Smarter and Safer NVIDIA recently released its edge-tocloud platform that could play a key role in the development of smart and safe cities worldwide. BY the a&s Editorial Team
VIDIA evolved the GPU from a 3D graphics chip to a computer brain at the epicenter of the industry’s most promising endeavors such as autonomous vehicles, virtual reality and more. Now the company has launched its edge-to-cloud AI platform, NVIDIA Metropolis, which paves the way for smarter and safer cities through deep learning. a&s Asia recently talked to Deepu Talla, VP and GM of the Tegra Business at NVIDIA, to learn more about this new platform and the company’s plans for Asian markets.
a&s : In your vIew, how can deep learnIng benefIt securIty and non-securIty applIcatIons?
June 2017 ● www.asmag.com
Talla: Smart and safe cities need AI. There are approximately 500 million cameras deployed in the world today for applications such as law enforcement, traffic management and retail analytics. That number is expected to double by 2020. That’s one billion cameras, generating 30 billion frames per second of rich video data. There’s no way for humans to analyze this scale of information. Humans currently monitor only a fraction of the captured video, with most stored on disks for later review. Traditional methods of video analytics just aren’t up to the task, so most of that rich video data is wasted. AI and deep learning is solving problems across industries as diverse as healthcare, robotics, self-driving cars, financial services and more. An AI video analytics system can extract meaningful insights in real time from enormous volumes of data and generate accurate results that operators can rely on to make cities smarter and safer.
12
a&s : why Is the gpu In a better posItIon to run deep learnIng algorIthms compared to the cpu? Talla: GPUs are the platform of choice for deep learning for very practical reasons. The first is productivity. Deep learning workloads are computationally intensive and highly parallel, which means they’re well-suited to NVIDIA’s GPU architecture. GPUs make it possible for data scientists to iterate faster, creating solutions that are more accurate and robust in a shorter amount of time. The second reason is the ecosystem. NVIDIA’s platforms are compatible with all of the major deep learning frameworks, so customers can leverage the rich ecosystem of solutions offered by AI city partners around the world. The third reason is the platform. NVIDIA offers the only platform for the development, optimization and deployment of deep learning solutions — from the edge to the cloud — on a single computing architecture.
a&s : can you elaborate on your latest gpu technologIes/platforms/solutIons? are they for edge devIces or servers? Talla: At the GPU Technology Conference last month, we announced our NVIDIA Metropolis edge-to-cloud platform. High-performance deep learning inferencing happens at the edge with the NVIDIA Jetson embedded computing platform, and through servers and data centers with NVIDIA Tesla GPU accelerators. Rich data visualization is powered by NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics. The entire edge-to-cloud platform is also supported by NVIDIA’s software development kits, including
JetPack, DeepStream and TensorRT. Considering where video is captured and the levels of connectivity and network infrastructure across urban areas worldwide, it’s clear that an edge-to-cloud platform is critical. AI is required at the edge for systems such as parking entrances, autonomous security robots and police cars. These need real-time insights and may not have the connectivity necessary to stream video to a centralized area for processing. AI-enabled on-premises servers are important for places such as airports, roadway intersections and retail environments, where a local area network exists and context across multiple cameras in both time and space is important. Across wide geographic areas and thousands of cameras, data needs to be aggregated and analyzed so higher-level conclusions can be drawn. In these cases, cloud computing is necessary.
DEEP LEARNING IS FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGING VIDEO ANALYTICS, SO COMPANIES CAN QUICKLY TURN VIDEO INTO REAL-TIME INSIGHTS.”
a&s : what Is your strategy for asIa? Talla: We currently have more than 50 AI City partners, with several based in Asia. They include Dahua Technology, Hanwha Techwin, Hikvision Digital Technology, SenseTime, Tiandy Digital Technology, Umbo CV, Uniview Technologies and others. With the release of our Metropolis platform, we’re continuing to expand our ecosystem and seeing more companies interested in developing smart and safe city applications. We’re also focused on driving awareness around the power of AI and GPUs specifically for this space through a variety of programs. This includes the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute, our worldwide platform to cultivate deep learning developers, as well as hosting workshops across Asia to promote GPU deep learning-based intelligent video analytics.
Deepu Talla, VP and GM of Tegra, NVIDIA
a&s : can you provIde some use cases where they are employed? Talla: Global leaders in public safety and video surveillance, as well as start-ups focused on improving efficiency of city resources and operations, are using this powerful platform. Smart City • Traffic Management: City planners can automate traffic studies and measure parking structure activity to better manage costly parking assets. • Retail Analytics: Marketers and store planners can collect and leverage valuable data on customer behavior in stores for merchandising and store planning. • Intelligent Machines: Users of all sorts can make intelligent machines the core of their vision systems by putting superhuman vision capabilities into autonomous indoor and outdoor ground-based robots, drones and other devices. Safe City • Law Enforcement: NVIDIA works with many companies that build video search tools for the security/surveillance market to complete tasks such as locating lost children in busy urban environments in minutes; analyzing thousands of hours of video to quickly bring criminals to justice; and capturing critical evidence to solve drug trafficking cases. • Campus safety: Companies and schools are employing video analytics that use machine learning to identify and understand normal activity, and generate alerts when anomalies occur, such as fires or violence.

Ipsotek to Expand Presence in Asia Ipsotek will be strengthening its Asian operations by moving into a larger office in Singapore, aiming to double manpower in Singapore over the next three months. BY Prasanth Aby Thomas

psotek, the U.K.-based solution provider of advanced scenariobased video analytics for a wide range of security and operational applications in commercial and public sectors, will be strengthening its Asian operations by moving into a larger office in Singapore. As part of this, the company aims to double in manpower in Singapore over the next three months. The company first entered the Asian market with an office in Singapore in 2013 and since then has been expanding its presence in the region. Speaking to asmag.com, David Howarth, GM for APAC region at Ipsotek gave insights into the company’s strategies and plans for SE Asia. “At the moment, it’s quite a wide ranging market, with the obvious frustration that sometimes comes from introducing a new technology into a new region, but as a whole it’s an excellent opportunity for Ipsotek as there is a real need for the type of advanced solutions that we provide,” Howarth said. “It’s an emerging requirement as far as analytics is concerned, whereas in the European
and Middle East market, analytics have been widely deployed for a number of years.” In fact, in Asia, it has been a lot about educating the customer about what advanced analytics can and cannot do, and how beneficial it can be to the end users’ business and operations. The problem, according to Howarth, is that when analytics initially took off, a lot of vendor companies had overpromised, and consequently there were situations where customers got their fingers burned. “One of my challenges has been in explaining why our solution is so very different to what the customer may have experienced before. However, I’ve been well supported by our early achievements here, and also the large fully deployed projects that we have in other
regions, such as the U.K., Europe and the Middle East — it’s always easier to grow in a new market if you are already a proven technology elsewhere.” Asia being a very different market from the West, Ipsotek has specific marketing strategies that it is applying in the continent. Howarth said that the company has been very proactive in participating in security industry trade shows, attending up to seven or eight trade shows in the APAC region every year. These can be small, regional shows where the company is supported by its partners or can also be national ones. “We invest in our partners,” Howarth said, giving an example of an instance when they took their distributors and system integrators to the U.K., put them up in a hotel for two weeks and gave them extensive training. Efforts such as this have been an excellent way to invest in the region, he said. Countries that are the main focus for the company in the region include Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. In fact, Ipsotek’s first major projects in SE Asia were in Thailand and Indonesia. Moving forward, this year, the company aims to consolidate and build an even larger team in Singapore that can then become the major regional support center for the wider APAC region.

Fraud is a constant concern for ATM operators, and statistics show that it is increasingly becoming a bigger and bigger fight. Implementing the best video surveillance solution for ATM monitoring could help operators minimize losses and reduce instances of fraud. BY Eifeh Strom, Freelancer
TMs are there for our convenience, yet they’ve also become a gateway for criminals to commit fraud. There are many ways to attack ATMs and the people using them. While physical attacks are a concern, nowadays card skimming and fraud cause far more damage. Without knowing it a person could steal your debit card and banking information in a split second. And the number of people being affected by this type of crime is increasing. Skimming and cash harvesting continue to be problems for ATMs worldwide. In the U.S. alone, the number of compromised ATMs and merchant devices rose 30 percent in 2016, according to a recent report by FICO; however, the European ATM Crime Report by the European ATM Security Team (EAST) found card skimming attacks in Europe decreased 20 percent from in 2016. Despite this, ATM related fraud attacks still increased in Europe by 26 percent in 2016, according to EAST. Around 60 percent of compromises in the U.S. were at non-bank ATMs, such as those in convenience stores, according to FICO. The remainder occurred at bank ATMs or point-of-sale (POS) devices, such as card payment machines at retailers. There is good news, though. The average duration of a compromise continues to fall. On average, FICO found an ATM or POS device would be compromised for 11 days, compared to 14 days in 2015. This also cut the average number of cards affected by a single compromise in half. Although the rising numbers in ATM fraud doesn’t sound promising, a solid video surveillance system as part of a holistic security solution for monitoring ATMs could

Raquel Elias, Marketing Manager, SCATI
help catch criminals before too much damage is done. By deploying the right type of cameras and having in place an effective video management system (VMS), ATM operators could be more prepared than ever to prevent attacks before it’s too late.
Challenges in aTM MoniToring There are many challenges when it comes to monitoring ATMs. These challenges come in the form of the environment, as well as having the proper equipment installed. Environmental challenges are difficult to control. Changes in lighting because of sunlight is one of the major challenges inherent in monitoring ATMs. With many ATMs outdoors, cameras must be able to deal with the changing brightness of the sun, as well as darkness once the sun goes down, and any other changes in environment. Video surveillance cameras, then, must be able to adjust to these changes. “March Networks offers a line of purpose-built ATM cameras that incorporate both high dynamic range and excellent low light performance to ensure that images are never overexposed or silhouetted,” said Daniel Caggiula, Market Solutions Manager at March Networks.

Connectivity of the IoT
Connectivity is one element of the Internet of Things (IoT) movement that has overshadowed the rest. “The idea is that once an end-node has the ability to intelligently communicate back to a network — rather than simply pipe raw data — then all the fruits of the IoT philosophy will follow. We believe that only then will we have truly achieved IoT systems for this market,” said Remi El-Ouazzane, VP of New Technology Group and GM of Movidius at Intel. In terms of edge analytics, El-Ouazzane explained many applications require intelligence at the edge for reasons of latency, bandwidth, fault tolerance and privacy. “Certainly, there will be many cloud-centric applications for network cameras, but we also feel there will be many hybridized approaches where intelligence is distributed appropriately along the entire stack — including the edge for workload intensive tasks such as computer vision and deep learning.”
“By applying deep learning algorithms to edge analytics, devices could be taught to better filter unnecessary data, which in a world of big data could save time, money and manpower.„ and moving them into the cameras themselves, edge analytics is able to provide end users with more accurate, efficient real-time data analysis. The edge analytics market is forecast to grow from US$1.9 billion in 2016 to nearly $8 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 32.6 percent, according to a report by Research and Markets. The report cited the advent of IoT, proliferation of massive amounts of data through connected devices, and increased adoption of edge analytics due to its scalability and cost optimizations as growth drivers for the market. Additionally,
an increase in government initiatives for the IoT and cloud technologies will also result in higher adoption of edge analytics. Regionally, APAC is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The report attributes this growth to “a tremendous demand for deployment of edge analytics technologies with advanced analytics solutions that provides comprehensive support and specialty in real-time access of data, facilitating enterprises to comprehend business scenario, and take quicker and faster decisions.”
Growth aside, it is the new developments in edge analytics that are driving adoption in smart cameras. Developments in deep learning algorithms and processing power are not only driving growth, but improving results.

NTERNET THINGS
OF
Increasingly, manufacturing is moving towards Industry 4.0, where factories rely more on automated processes instead of traditional human labor. Against this backdrop, more and more manufacturing plants are employing machine vision and RFID — the former providing vision to production and the latter allowing mass quantities of goods to be identified, all at once. BY William Pao
June 2017 ● www.asmag.com
Factories Get smart With Machine Vision, RFiD achine vision can be thought of as the “eye” of production and can come in handy in various operations, for example inspection or guiding automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Basically, machine vision addresses one key issue — that is, the human eye has limitations.
34
“Say I have a production line with 10 laborers. The problem is each person sees things differently. Also, the human eye can get tired or fatigued, and mistakes can be made,” said Roger Wang, Senior Manager of Vision Business Unit at Solomon. This is where machine vision can help. “With machine vision, we put the algorithm in the system, which applies a uniform standard to inspection, is less prone to mistakes, and never gets fatigued,” Wang noted. “Machine vision systems will continue to be the primary consideration for manufacturers who are looking to improve quality or automate production. They

are built for visual inspection and control under demanding industrial applications that require high-speed, high-magnification, 24-hour operation, and/or repeatable measurements,” said Bruno Menard, Program Manager for Embedded Vision at Teledyne DALSA. “Machine vision has the ability to perform repetitive tasks faster and more accurately, with greater consistency over time than humans. In addition, machine vision can reduce labor costs, increase production yields, and eliminate costly errors associated with incomplete or incorrect assembly.”
Basic components Typically, components in a machine system include: cameras (along with lenses and image sensors), lighting, frame grabbers and software. “There are two types of industrial cameras: line-scan cameras and area-scan cameras. More line-scan cameras are used in machine vision systems, since they can generate higherresolution images compared to area-scan cameras,” said Hongsuk Lee, Business Development Manager at SuaLab. “Frame grabbers capture individual, digital still frames from an analog or digital video stream. Video frames are usually captured in digital form as it needs to be transmitted.” Meanwhile, 3D or depth cameras are also increasingly deployed in an industrial environment. “As opposed to traditional RGB cameras which take 2D images, a depth camera adds depth data to the RGB image, therefore providing further clarity and accuracy,” said Calvin Lee, COO of LIPS Corporation. Beyond hardware, software also plays an important role. “A good machine vision system is a system with high defect detection rate. To do this, good hardware must be installed to obtain good images, and the images should be analyzed with high-performance machine vision software,” said SuaLab’s Lee. “No matter how good the hardware configuration is, if the image analysis capability is low, it cannot be a good machine vision system.”
applications Machine vision can be employed in different manufacturing operations, including inspection, orientation and robotics or AVG guidance. Inspection remains the most important machine vision application in factories, whereby the vision system can check for broken stitches, stains or other defects that are too tiny to be detected by the human eye. “The biggest influence on smart factory from machine vision technology is inspection area. Machine vision provides efficient inspection through image analysis of the products obtained in
the process,” said Lee. “Depending on the industry and products, some have built a complete automation of the inspection process through machine vision, and some have used the machine vision technology to significantly reduce the number of manpower in the inspection process if the inspection system is not fully automated.” Another operation that can benefit from machine vision is orientation. “With patternmatching, we can determine position, orientation and scale of a part or object. After training on a ’golden pattern,’ algorithms are able to move, rotate and scale (up or down), in preparation for taking measurements at the same place. After setting a threshold for acceptance, the application is able to find the object, bring it to the original position and compare it, and finally assign a pass or fail,” Menard said. With robotic arms and AGVs increasingly deployed in factories, machine vision can offer the necessary visual guidance. “For example, when a robotic arm picks up something from point A to point B, a depth camera can provide the necessary ’vision,’ telling the robotic system where to pick up a particular object and where to put it. For AGVs, the operator no long needs to set up tracks for the vehicles; with a depth camera the AGV will determine the best route to the destination and stay away from obstacles along the way,” said LIPS’s Lee.
industries Benefitted Manufacturers that can benefit from machine vision aren’t so vertical specific — most industries from traditional to electronic can leverage what machine vision has to offer. “Machine vision is a primary consideration for any manufacturer who is looking to improve quality or automate production. Multiple industries such as semiconductor, flat panel display, electronics, automotive, food and packaging and general manufac-

he next big thing in the technology industry is undeniably the Internet of Things (IoT ). The concept of connected devices and the benefits that they bring to users have taken the market by storm. According to the research firm MarketsandMarkets, its market size is estimated to grow from US$ 157.1 billion in 2016 to $661.7 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 33.3 percent during the period. All industry verticals are undergoing a huge transformation in a bid to move toward affordable, accessible and quality services to their customers. “New applications and use cases, a result of cutting-edge technology innovations, are being developed to address the changing industry needs,” said the research firm in a release accompanying the repor t. “IoT, in combination with cloud computing and big data, is creating lucrative opportunities for organizations.” The physical security industry is keenly watching the development of the IoT market while trying to take advantage of the factors that would assist in making its products more efficient. Several security solution providers have already taken steps to ensure their place as the market moves forward. However, several experts warn that unlike other industries, the physical security industry should be cautious when it comes to adopting IoT systems. This is because the very nature of the physical security industry is to protect and while IoT expands possibilities, it also creates more chances for this protection to be weaker. Recent examples of IoT devices being hijacked by hackers are indeed confirming this possibility of security systems becoming weaker with IoT. Nevertheless, with the right approach, physical security solution providers can reap several benefits from IoT. Traditional security companies who are willing to embrace this new technology have an edge over others, in terms of infrastructure, brand confidence as well as customer base.
40
The MarkeT TransiTion FroM CoMpanies’ perspeCTive Contrar y to other technological developments, IoT is making its presence known among customers. Even end users are becoming aware of the various benefits that the new technologies can bring and expect the solution providers to come up with them. Stressing on the connected home technology in Europe that is expected to reach $19,411 million in Europe by 2021, James Somerville-Smith, Northern Europe Channel Marketing Leader at Honeywell Security & Fire, said that the segment is witnessing tremendous growth.
“As a result of this growing demand, consumers have raised expectations about what their technology can achieve,” said Somerville-Smith. “Many now look to combine various household systems into one solution where systems not only work together, but understand each other. Security systems are increasingly a key part of that.” Stressing further on the demand from consumers, David Ly, CEO of Iveda, said that the market will dictate the transition, and the shift has begun. More and more, customers are demanding ease of use and management and accessibility from their smartphones. This change widens the scope for even non-traditional security companies to

pitch in with their offerings. “ They want more interaction and control from security systems,” Ly said. “This trend presents more opportunity for non-traditional security technology providers to now play in the security arena. I think it really is an opportunity for the industry to expand on its product and service offerings. In other words, you don’t need to offer traditional video sur veillance/DVR solution or even IP cameras with installation services anymore. The market opportunity is becoming more open and flexible because you no longer need to sell hard traditional security products. For those potential customers who may have passed on
the traditional security alarm or video surveillance system because of high cost and cumbersome installation, they may now want just a doorbell camera or a temperature control system. The new choices bring to the industry more customers.” He added that the company plans to take advantage of this trend by simply being more flexible with the product lineup that they offer. Leveraging the relationship they have with their telecom customers, Iveda will listen to the requests and feedback from their massive customer base. The company will, in turn, seek out technology and manufacturer partners who can help them fulfill the market expectations.
Jeffrey Wu, President of Starvedia Technology, said that the major reason for the transition from traditional security to smart home and IoT-related systems is due to competition and the lowering costs of devices. In short, it can be noted that the customers are key to driving innovation in the field of IoT. As the end users become more and more aware of the innovations that are taking place in the field, they would demand more solutions that are new and effective. At this point, it would be important to take a closer look at these customer requests in this context. No doubt, they are unique in terms of technology, but what would be more interesting is the end results they aim to achieve.

Systems Integrators to Evolve
Tips for
Alongside Industry
The face of the security industry continues to grow and evolve into one that resembles a service industry. Systems integrators need to be vigilant about keeping up with the new trends as well as listen closely to the needs and requirements of both sides of the market — not only end users, but manufacturers as well. It is only then that they can create the right solutions that will benefit all parties involved. In the following articles, we approached several manufacturers to get their thoughts on the matter. BY Prasanth Aby Thomas
What Mistakes do Systems Integrators Often Make?
June 2017 ● www.asmag.com
Systems integrators (SIs), by the very nature of their business, are representatives that manufacturers rely on to reach the end users. Depending on how the SI chooses to present a principal’s products, end users will have an impression on the manufacturer and their products.
A
s s u c h , t h i s m e a n s t h e S I’s business is a balancing act, between understanding the offerings of the manufacturer and satisfying the requirements of the
44
customer. This is not easy, given that the former keeps innovating with new products almost every other day and the latter demands lower cost and higher value.
With such pressure over them, it is inevitable that SIs make some mistakes in their approaches towards fulfilling projects. These can either be technical or in terms of their business strategies,
but what is important is that at times such mistakes can prove to be crucial in a work environment. Fortunately, manufacturers themselves are willing to provide certain guidelines pointing out where the usual mistakes are and how they can be corrected. For this article, we asked several manufacturers what they would like to see SIs do less and why. The answers were interesting and here we present them to you.
Training Too Few The training that manufacturers offer is quite important for the SI. For this reason, most SIs send their employees to the solution providers to be up to date with the latest in technology and business. However, some SIs tend to limit the training to a few technicians according to Tyco Security Products. This can prove costly in the short and long term as it is critical that all the technicians at an SI’s business receive ample training to stay on top of the latest technology. “Integrators sometimes feel that having a few technicians in their organization
trained is sufficient, as it is often a decision to sacrifice time spent in the field in favor of time in the classroom for training,” Perry Levine, Senior Product Manager, Software House at Tyco Security Products. “It is crucial that ALL technicians are properly trained and certified, for both installations and future service calls. It can be assumed that, if they are trained on one product, they are knowledgeable on all products, and if they were trained on an older version, no additional training is required. As security solutions become more IT-centric, it is necessary to stay current with the latest upgrades and new technology. To continue to serve customers well and to grow their business, it is important that integrators continue to invest in ongoing training for all technicians.”
give imporTance To STandardS over value In today’s security industry, there is a lot of stress on standards-based solutions. Although this is key to taking the industry forward, such debates often overshadow the importance of providing
value to the customer. Marwan Khoury, Regional Marketing Manager at Axis Communications, pointed this out as he explained his perspectives on what SIs should be doing less of. “To focus less on standards and data sheets when offering customers options and instead focus more on the value of quality that is placed during all phases of design to production and delivery of the technology,” said Khoury. “This focus better positions SIs in ensuring customers receive products that enjoy expanded lifetimes with a lower total cost of ownership with minimized business disruptions.”
delay in conTacTing manuFacTurerS It is natural for SIs run into difficulties in their line of work, especially in terms of the technical aspects at hand. Ideally, when hitting a roadblock SIs should contact the manufacturer as early as possible so that issues can be resolved efficiently. However, Mitchell Kane, President of Vanderbilt Industries, pointed out that this is not always the case. At

he security landscape continues to evolve in new and complex ways. Gone are the days where the term “access control” means a simple lock and key system. Access control, instead, conjures images of sophisticated, integrated systems with multi-layered security across multiple facilities. Organizations today face challenges from the adoption of new technologies, escalating security threats and the need to derive greater value from access control infrastructure, while solving increasingly complex system integration. This is no easy task, further complicated by the expansion of digital lifestyles and creation of a smart ecosystem of wearables. As security remains a critical front-line defense for organizations across industries and company sizes, what protective measures can businesses take today? Here are four key tips that companies should consider when implementing the next generation of access control systems.

EnhancE your data privacy protEction Yesterday’s technology is no longer sufficient for today ’s access control and identity management challenges. Businesses need to upgrade their legacy access control system to enhance data privacy security — be it through the on-boarding of a client that requires high levels of security, new legislation being brought in for specific industries, or even new building tenants.

tials while safeguarding various parts of sites to prevent unauthorized access.
FuturE-prooF tEchnology intEgratEd into Existing Bring-your-own-dEvicEs (Byod) The concept of BYOD is common in today’s digital workplace. With employees using their own smart devices, businesses should consider integrating secure access control measures into employee smartphones or devices for access, instead of issuing additional key cards or fobs that
risk a high chance of loss or theft. A single credential for multiple access devices might be today’s solution. Using Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP), this industry standard improves interoperability among access control and security products, supporting multiple applications across physical and logical access. By providing multiple access levels on mobile credentials, it saves the users time and complexity, reducing the risk of theft or loss across several devices. This works just as well with smart technology such as wearables, providing increased flexibility and freedom of choice for security managers and employees today.
Enhancing sEcurity through multi-layErEd crEdEntial validation IT security breaches have included issues with printer security within the past 12 months, according to IDC. Most of today’s card issuance and licensing systems rely on two-dimensional identity validation. Digital components, including smart card chips or magnetic stripes, give ID card and license issuance systems the crucial third security dimension. With multi-layered credential validation and enhancement of existing printing facilities, access control systems will be strengthened. Sophisticated credential validation elements, combined with superior printing Alex Tan, Director of Sales, Physical Access Control System, ASEAN, HID technology, will enable more trustworthy visual Global authentication to deter tampering and forgery. Higher-resolution images, holographic card over-laminates and permanent and unalterable laser-engraved personalization attributes will make forgery and alteration virtually impossible. From printers, card materials and software, the highest security requirements can be achieved by incorporating critical visual and encoding technologies for the next generation of access control solutions today. With these tips in mind, businesses can stay ahead of the ever-evolving world of possibilities in physical access control systems.
