What is Biometrics?

Definition of Biometrics

Biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and analysing biological data.

In information technology, biometrics refers to technologies that measure and analyze human body characteristics, such as fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, voice patterns, facial patterns and hand measurements, for authentication purposes.

Authentication by biometric verification is becoming increasingly common in corporate and public security systems, consumer electronics and point of sale (POS) applications. In addition to security, the driving force behind biometric verification has been convenience. Biometric devices, consist of:

• A reader or scanning device.
• Software that converts the scanned information into digital form and compares match points.
• A database that stores the biometric data for comparison.

Barriers

ASL Series - The reliable solution for intelligent vehicle access control

The new barrier is developed as a part of an efficient car park control system. You can choose from a variety of solutions ranging from a stand-alone, push-button operated car park to advanced vehicle access control systems for communal parking grounds, hospitals, supermarkets and industrial grounds.

Solid Construction

• Bichromated 2,5 mm steel housing (optional 2 mm stainless steel housing)
• 3 mm stainless steel pedestal
• Finished in a grey (RAL 7030), blue (RAL 5003) or orange (RAL 2000) powder coating Other colours available on request.

Long Life

• 230 V electrical Torque motor with sinus-lift system, ensuring fast and smooth opening and closing.
• Low maintenance costs: no friction clutch, belts or chains nor limit-switches
• Heat dissipation of the motor avoids condensation (no extra heating necessary)

Intelligent Control Unit

The new barrier is equipped with a micro-processor based control unit allowing:

• Setup and configuration, adjustable to the customer’s needs
• Easy control and diagnostics over IP or RS485 network.

Barrier arm support

Starting from barrier lengths of 4 m, a barrier arm support is necessary (optional):

• Telescopic support post, adjustable in height from 0,6 up to 1 m, with or without electromagnetic lock
• Pendulum support

The barrier can be configured to remain locked or to unlock in case of power failure.

Turnstiles

Turnstiles are physical barriers, designed to control access to restricted areas including industrial entrances, sports arenas, military premises and other fenced security areas. The UKB International full height turnstiles combine solidity, safety and hospitality.

Solid Construction

The turnstile is finished in a powder coating in a colour of choice and consists of two parts:

• a modular frame standard in aluminium
• a central rotating stainless steel column incorporating a 3 x 120° or 4 x 90° offset bar configurations

Safe Rotor

• The rotor revolves when pushed by a visitor.
• The rotation of the column is controlled by a self-centering system which automatically places the column in the next starting position after every cycle. This avoids intermediate postions of the rotor.
• A built-in breaking system gradually slows down the rotor at the end of a cycle, elimating abrupt stops.
• The turnstile can be configured to remain locked or to unlock in case of power failure. (Configurable for each direction).
• In case of technical problems/power failure, a person will never be trapped inside the turnstile.
• In case the rotor is unlocked ex. free exit, the rotor will temporarily stop when rotating too fast.

Intelligent Control Unit

The UKB International full-height turnstile is equipped with a micro-processor based control unit allowing:

• Setup and configuration, adjustable to the customers needs.
• Display for diagnose of entrance and exit.
• Various operating modes for each passage or direction; Free access, Controlled access (Entrance or exit possible), Locked.
• Counting pulse for every movement
• Compatible with any access control system: push button, proximity and magnetic card reader.
• Easy control and diagnostics over IP or RS485 network.

Long Life

• The column revolves in an industrial conical ball bearing secured in the foundation. A lubrication nipple allows easy maintenance.
• The drive mechanism and control are located above the central column, in the roof of the turnstile, inaccessible for unauthorized persons.
• The braking system of the rotor is based on a drum brake, thus avoiding the use of wear and maintenance sensitive dampers.
