5 Key Trends for Biometric Access Control in Buildings

The landscape of biometric access control for buildings is rapidly evolving, shaped by technological advancements and shifting user expectations. Here are five key trends currently defining the application of biometric access control in buildings. While some aspects of the biometric access market remain constant, such as the importance of privacy protection and rising attention to ease of use and efficiency, new trends have emerged which are transforming the way users interact with their surroundings. Understanding these key trends can help access solution providers and property managers navigate the market more effectively and better serve users. New biometric technologies are accelerating in application The market research agency ResearchAndMarkets estimates the global biometric authentication market will reach around $8.8 billion in 2026, growing at a CAGR of 16.3%. Biometric technologies – like iris and palm recognition – have made significant strides, becoming increasingly applicable in high-security environments. They provide superior security compared to traditional or pure face recognition access control systems, remarkably reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Since launching the MinMoe face recognition series, Hikvision has been at the forefront of biometric innovation, now offering more advanced biometric solutions including iris recognition terminal, face & palm recognition terminal to bolster access control security. Building management systems are increasingly converging According to Meticulous Research’s latest report, the Integrated Access Control System market is projected to experience an annual growth rate of 10.1% from 2024 to 2031. In residential properties, access control is being combined with video intercom and security systems, creating seamless user experiences and improving security. For office buildings, the integration of access control with elevator systems, advertising displays, and time attendance systems is increasingly in demand, streamlining operations while providing valuable insights. Hikvision consistently leads the way in integrated solutions, offering comprehensive packages that seamlessly blend access control with it’s own or third-party building management systems, encompassing video security, elevator control, smart automation, and more. Moreover, Hikvision facilitates integrated building management on a unified platform, allowing subsystems to interconnect and be managed cohesively, enhancing both efficiency and security.

Weather Security: Need of Hour

Col. Prof. Sanjay Srivastava ChairmanClimate Resilient Observing SystemsPromotion Council (CROPC) & Professor of PracticeTERI School of Advanced Studies, New Delhi It was 28th of June, 2024 when Delhi-NCR woke up to a flooded morning. The flights from Terminal 1 at Indira Gandhi International Airport were suspended as there were severe damage to the façade and related infrastructure causing delay and suspension in flights. The cargo area was flooded and the stuff in transit had severe impact to the tune of total damage to parcels. The logistics companies and e-service providers had a time of nightmare in damage control. There were huge payouts due to the event. Actually, India Meteorological Department (IMD) had forecasted heavy rain in Delhi on 27 June 2024. This was followed by a midnight nowcast of extremely heavy rain. Next day, Delhi-NCR region woke up to a flooded morning. Delhi had a thunderstorm & lightning and extremely heavy rain on 28 June 2024. The turbulent wind damaged façade of T1 terminal of Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGAI) and airport operations from Terminal 1 was suspended for 48 hours. Safdarjung experienced more than 228.1mm rain in 24 hours which was first such incidents since 1936. Gurugram, NOIDA to Delhi, the precipitation varied from 40mm to 260mm which was historical. At IGAI, entire cargo area was flooded causing damage to the stored items in transit and disrupting the supply chain management. This being a working day, there were terrible traffic jam in entire NCR region. The intensity of rain was so much that any city with such extreme rainfall will get adversely impacted. Overall, the event had huge impact on the national and international business of more than INR2100 crores. This risk was not fathomed, weather warnings were ignored and corporate houses had to bear unbearable losses. The risk assessments were not done properly. And hence, even risk transfer tools like insurance did not work. There have been extreme events felt more frequently in most of the parts. Besides metro, tier 2 cities were more affected. In another event of heavy rain in Gurugram the DLF mall and expensive apartments like Camelia and magnolia had to face the wrath of flash flood. Since, the luxurious hutments and global stature, commercial malls, and IT-hubs like Cyber city are located in the vicinity of lake areas in the natural grains of Aravalli to the lakes, the water always follows natural grains, the infrastructures in the area will be affected. Similar extreme rains were felt at many cities viz. Hyderabad, Mumbai, Vadodara, Rajkot, Wayanad etc. Since Indian cities are developing very fast, there has been rapid growth of Infrastructures. An estimated impact of extreme weather in terms of financial losses in recent past has been depicted in Table 1 below:- Changing weather and extremes events like flash flood, sudden thunderstorms, lightning & hail, unbearable heat are being witnessed across the country. Weather is now a visible risk and it’s a big challenge to security and safety. Recent years have been marked with such extremes. It’s time to take a re-look and adopt weather intimately to have a fruitful way forward Last year, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres declared the ‘era of global boiling’ has arrived after July 2023 which was the hottest month ever record ed. The impact is being felt in terms of extreme and erratic events like heat wave beyond human endurance, sudden heavy rain in very short time, extreme colds, rapid rise in storms, cloud burst, thunderstorms and lightning. As per the research by University of California and the Indian researches by India Meteorological Department (IMD) and Climate Resilient observing Systems Promotion Council (CROPC), with one degree rise in temperature, there is 12% rise in evaporation that is overloading additional moisture. During last two-month August-September 2024, there have been four deep depressions in Bay of Bengal. There has unique phenomenon of deep depression in Bay of Bengal crisscrossing east to west and effecting western states. There was also a recurve of deep depression. “Changing weather and extremes events like flash flood, sudden thunderstorms, lightning & hail, unbearable heat are being witnessed across the country. Weather is now a visible risk and it’s a big challenge to security and safety. Recent years have been marked with such extremes. It’s time to take a re-look and adopt weather intimately to have a fruitful way forward” Climate change is not hypothetical, but it is also here, right now, at our gates. Senator Andrew Young had pointed out in US Presidential election in 2019. Even now, in the recent impending US Presidential election, Climate change is bone of contention. The risk of weather events affects everyone. Rather entire life cycle of common man, government and corporate businesses are governed by weather. There is state-of-the-art early warning forecast available by IMD. The government has laid down rules for usage of land as per master plan. Weather events, if sensibly followed, give adequate knowledge and opportunity for a progressive business instead of careless attitude causing huge damage. In addition, there are collateral impacts of complete SCM, mobility, solid waste management, energy transmission and distribution, and most importantly human health. The estimated economic damages during few recent events, as given in table 1 have been in thousands of crores causing dent to the economy. It’s worth pondering over the emerged risk of weather, especially extreme events. Cities have encroached upon the rivers and the land use zonation are encroached, municipal corporations are finding it tough to deal with the situations. The corporates are deeply engrossed into their business, least realizing the emerging risks and its impacts. For most of these corporates, these are short term events and it would be over by after few days or hours. The heat waves in 2024 were at extremes in many cities with temperature soaring in between 40 to 50 degree celcious. The working hours of people in corporate, government and routine business were grossly compromised. Rather, in peak hours of heat that is past mid-day till evening, 4-5…

Yard Management Systems: Optimizing Truck Flow for Efficient Park Operations

Managing the daily operations of a busy industrial park involves ensuring the smooth movement of trucks in and out. Effective yard management is crucial, encompassing the organization, guidance, scheduling, and coordination of truck activities. Any misstep can lead to chaos and disrupt the flow of goods. Industrial parks usually face common inefficiencies in their yards due to manual operations and outdated systems. Heavy reliance on manual labor slows down processes and increases errors. Truck entry appointments made via phone or email are slow and inefficient. As trucks enter and exit the yard, staff inspect and record vehicle information using paper forms which leads to long delays. Manual dock scheduling is complex and difficult to adjust during emergencies or disruptions. What’s more, the lack of a streamlined online management system results in poor time management, inefficient resource allocation, and frustrated drivers. The absence of visibility further complicates operations. For instance, efficient dock activities require careful planning and coordination, real-time monitoring, and alerts for any issues. Without real-time visibility of the number of trucks in the yard and their expected arrival times, operators face significant challenges in maintaining order. Recording and digitalizing data like plate numbers, freight information, weight, location, and speed from the moment a truck is appointed to its departure is crucial. Without a comprehensive view and proper utilization of this data, operators struggle to trace and resolve issues. A smooth yard processes offered by yard management systems Managing a diverse fleet of trucks and drivers is challenging and leaves no room for error. Operators need a comprehensive yard management system (YMS) to enhance safety, automate truck flows, streamline docking operations, and boost overall efficiency. Here’s how yard management solutions simplify the entire process: Streamlined appointments Drivers can book appointments individually or in batches through an online self-service portal or by scanning a QR code. This system records vehicle information in advance for a smoother process. Efficient inspections Upon arrival, drivers check in and undergo on-site inspections at the gate with the help of mobile handheld devices such as PDAs. This facilitates online management and evidence recording, saving time for security guards and drivers. Automated entry An Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system speeds up entry by verifying and recording license plates automatically. This process is fully tracked for security purposes. Orderly docking The next upgrade is the intelligent docking. AI cameras monitor occupancy and loading rates in the docking area. When the platform is vacant, the system automatically notifies waiting vehicles and displays their status on a call display screen. This streamlines queue management and assigns docks appropriately, ensuring trucks are directed to the correct docking area. Following docking, each truck completes inspections and receives an electronic pass (e-pass). Real-time monitoring The system provides real-time online updates on truck and shipment status, enabling quick responses to potential disruptions. Safety alerts Alerts are issued for over-speeding and incorrect parking within the yard to ensure safety for both drivers and pedestrians. Seamless departure Finally, the process concludes with a digitalized exit. Security guards inspect trucks by taking and uploading photos via mobile devices. The ANPR system then automatically identifies the vehicle and facilitates its smooth departure. Effortless traceability In case of issues, the trajectory of vehicles and records within the yard can be queried after they leave. End-to-end yard management with Hikvision Hikvision’s yard management solution combines cameras, mobile handheld devices, the ANPR system, LED display screens, and HikCentral Professional software to offer a comprehensive approach to end-to-end truck management. It streamlines the management of yard trucks and drivers, optimizes each truck’s flow, enhances the efficiency of yard operations, and reduces associated costs. This versatile solution seamlessly integrates with various industry operations, including industrial plants, logistic warehouses, distribution centers, retail, e-commerce, and more. By streamlining yard entry and exit processes, automating tasks, and providing real-time visibility and insights throughout the yard, YMS significantly enhances supply chain management efficiency.
