Why Physical Biometrics is rapidly Replacing Traditional Methods of Identification at the Workplace

1. Why Physical Biometrics is rapidly Replacing Traditional Methods of Identification at the Workplace

2. Due to technological advances, we are afforded the opportunity to work with evolving biometric technology which offers businesses a scalable solution to prevent issues such as ID swapping and unauthorised access from taking place, while at the same time eliminating the need for manual identity checks. Over the next few years, the use of biometrics will continue to grow and become much more commonplace in applications such as time and attendance and access control.

3. Today the core technologies have evolved and the cost of the equipment is reducing at a rapid rate due to the integration and increasing processing power. Certain applications of biometric identification technology are now cost-effective, reliable and highly accurate. As a result, there is no technological or financial barrier for widespread deployment.

4. The benefits of biometric identification at the workplace far outweigh those of traditional systems in the sense that it’s more secure. It automates the process of monitoring access through physical or physiological characteristics of a person and provides positive personal identification. Biometric systems that are currently available today examine fingerprints, handprints, iris and retina patterns, and face.

5. This identification method is quickly becoming the preferred option for many companies over traditional methods for several reasons. It provides better security and reliable and accurate information. It also obviates the need to carry a fob or remember a PIN.

6. Advantages of Biometrics:- Biometric traits and attributes cannot be lost or forgotten. Biometric traits and attributes cannot be forged The person to be identified is required to be physically present at the point of authentication Eradicate “buddy punching” Physical Biometric technologies

7. Fingerprint Identification:- Fingerprint identification is the method of identification using the impressions made by the minute ridge formations or patterns found on the fingertips. No two persons have exactly the same arrangement of ridge patterns.

8. Hand Geometry:- When measuring the hand, three-dimensional image of the hand is taken and the shape and length of fingers and knuckles are measured. Hand geometry has been in use for many years in various applications, predominantly for access control. On the capture process a user places a hand on the reader, aligning fingers with specially positioned guides. Cameras, positioned on above and on the side of hand capture images from which measurements are taken at selected points.

9. Face Recognition:- Face recognition technologies analyze the unique shape, pattern and positioning of facial features. There are essentially two methods of capture, using video or thermal imaging. Video is more common as standard video cameras can be used. On the capture process a user simply stands in front the reader. A camera, positioned on the face of the reader captures the image from which measurements are taken at selected points.
