The brief

The design and manufacture of a new generation of biometric access control

systems with the ability to distribute and integrate into new and existing card access control systems supplied by

existing and leading UK and EU manufactures.

Objectives of brief

•Minimalistic in design and aesthetically pleasing•Vandal resistant and IP rated to IP65•Easy to use •Easy to install and operate•Good ergonomic design

Brief – Core requirements

The current solutions are:

•The biometric readers are too large and expensive for large scale installations

•Many have design defects which mean they cannot be located externally as they are neither weather or vandal proof

•Have poor compatibility and robustness when delivered to the UK and European markets.
