Safety first: how does Partizan STD-2MP check COVID certificates?

Multifunctional terminal Partizan STD-2MP helps businesses to work in a pandemic. At many European places where visitors need to measure temperatures and verify COVID certificates, the device has already shown itself to be at its best. Due diligence is quick and hassle-free.

The “quarantine” rules are constantly changing, so Partizan developers continue to expand the capabilities of STD-2MP. Of the most recent innovations, it is worth highlighting:

  • Updating the database of European certificates
  • Introduction of additional indication of the check mode

What does it mean? Now, when verifying a COVID certificate, STD-2MP will generate three types of color notifications. Here are the situations:

  • If someone tries to use an invalid certificate, STD-2MP will signal with the red light.
  • If the certificate is valid but the visitor or employee does not present an ID, the STD-2MP will give a yellow notification. This means the certificate is in order. But whether it belongs to the one who showed it – is still a question.
  • Finally, if a valid certificate and passport are presented and their details match, the STD-2MP will give a green notification. All is OK!

The terminal will additionally send reports with PUSH notifications to Partizan mobile application and letters to the admin’s email.

In addition to the verification of certificates, Partizan STD-2MP is able to remotely measure the body temperature of visitors.This significantly saves time at checkpoints. The device also detects the presence of a mask and is able to memorize 22,400 faces and 100,000 events. An important option if you need to keep track of visits or create a database of guests/staff.

Few people like anti-COVID constraints! But realities demand responsibility from us if we want to return to normal life as soon as possible. Partizan STD-2MP terminal is one solution that will allow most types of businesses to comply with government regulations and remain alive.

Partizan specialists continue to work on expanding the STD-2MP functionality. Follow the news!

Flexible workspaces can thrive on the versatility of Incedo™ Business access control

London, November 2021 – Following a change in employment practices created by the pandemic, many office-based employees now follow a hybrid schedule, working where they are needed or find convenient. The fast-growing use of flexible offices and co-working spaces is testament to this emerging trend. With employees coming and going as they please, a change in how security and access control are managed is an urgent but overlooked aspect many firms are just waking up to.

Clockwise is a UK and European provider of flexible office space for entrepreneurs and established businesses*. The company’s expanding offering includes contemporary offices, meeting rooms and shared workspaces across multiple cities.

Any business which relies on flexibility places high demands on door security and access control. Clockwise needs a broad choice of electronic devices to secure meeting rooms, private offices, communal spaces and main entrances, which may not all require the same lock type.

The office space demands of a start-up, freelance co-worker or growing SMB can change at any time, so Clockwise offer a range of membership levels and packages. Access management must be able to adapt and change as fast as Clockwise clients’ needs.

Because tenants come and go frequently, Clockwise facility managers need tailoring of user access rights to be as easy as possible. Clockwise’s own spaces and portfolio may also evolve: Any access system must be able to scale instantly up or down.

How flexibly Clockwise can deliver for their clients is essential to growing in such a competitive market.

Incedoä Business: the right solution for flexible access control

The range of Incedo-enabled devices and door hardware — managed by simple Cloud-based software — convinced Clockwise to choose ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions’ Incedo Business for all their premises. This platform-based access solution connects security software and hardware within a single, future-proofed ecosystem.

The diversity of Incedo-enabled devices enables Clockwise to select the ideal electronic lock for every opening in their properties. Internal private office doors, “Zoom rooms” and meeting rooms — as well as communal area doors and entrance/exits — are now secured with wireless access control devices from the Incedo Business range.

Incedo’s flexible system management options help Clockwise to operate access control with maximum efficiency. Administrators quickly create groups with tailored access for specific doors.

Access permissions may also be time-limited, which is perfect for meeting room bookings or for facilitating access hours for different membership options: Private desk members get 24/7 admission, whereas hot-desk membership only allows entry during office hours.

According to Clockwise: “The flexibility to create groups and the ability to remotely update cards both work really well for our business.”

Dahua helps reinforce safety at EPA Food

Dahua Technology recently designed a video surveillance and control solution for Empresa Panamena de Alimentos (EPA), a processed food company in Panama.  The risks brought by the pandemic were the drivers for the management to consider the implementation of a new system to sustain efficient safety and security management and operation over staff and premises.

Empresa Panamena de Alimentos is a leading company in the processed food industry in Panama, founded in 2012 and owns production plants and warehouses in the capital city as well as agencies around the country.

As a food company, the operations of the company need to be under caution especially during the pandemic. It was necessary to implement multiple access controls in the facilities. With multiple plants located around the nation and accelerated growth, a centralised monitoring system for all equipment, alert management and user reports was required.

The solution applied at EPA’s facilities integrates various electronic security systems under a single platform and was evaluated based on the company’s needs. “Currently, 480 Dahua devices have been deployed. Amongst them are different models of cameras, access control systems, and automatic number-plate recognition products. AI-based cameras enhance the level of personnel protection. Everything is monitored by a DSS Express server in the main plant,” commented Luis Araujo, Manager of Infrastructure and Telecommunications of the Secutec Panama group.

Every day, more than 800 employees enter EPA facilities nationwide, the access control system allows a faster and safer automated entry of the staff and their cars. Apart from automatic number-plate recognition (ANPR) devices, more than 20 access controllers (ASI7213X-T1) were installed in main offices for temperature monitoring and attendance management. In addition, three Pro Network Video Recorders (NVR5864-4KS2) were also adopted. With a powerful processor, they have the capability of 4K resolution processing and high recording quality.

In Dahua’s solution, perimeter protection and access control are both realised. “We have had Dahua equipment for 7 years, it is a brand that has been of great help to our safety. It has contributed to continuous and steady operations throughout the pandemic,” said Guillermo Figueroa, EPA’s Safety and Control Manager.
