Greengate Security

In line with the Ofsted guidance to improve the security of access to nursery school premises and monitor the movement of staff and visitors onsite Greengate has deployed the Sign Assured solution to great effect. Replacing paper based solutions and capable of integrating to door lock control & management information systems some of the features/advantages include:

High level of security - registered signatures for each child
Automatic listing in case of fire alarm - on the fire alarm going off a print off can be automatically sent to any printer(s) on or offsite
Staff time and attendance - linked into local net work to track time and attendance of staff member
Automatic entry on correct signature
Allows staff to focus on the children
Parental confidence that the children are in good hands

In this highly dynamic environment where making profit depends on minimising cost and waste the Sign Assured solution offers significant savings. Replacing the traditional card or key fob by the signature allows each new tenant or exiting tenant to be added or removed from the system at no extra cost. Some of the features/advantages include:

Secure recognition of personal
Tenants no longer have wasted journeys where they have forgotten the fob
No chance of card/fob swapping as its personal
Can be mounted outside and linked to any type of fire door - simple door locks, magnetic locks, turnstile internal or external
Not effected by environmental conditions - the system can work in any conditions i.e. light conditions, damp, cold, dirty, dusty
It is not an obtrusive technology. People have been using a signature for 100’s of years and hence there are no issues with infringement of human rights as with figure print and Iris control.

Within the school environment the 6th former is a significant management headache, with no fixed timetable it is hard to track who is in or out of school/class. In trying to find a socially acceptable solution for managing this situation we believe the Sign Assured technology can provide the answer. As part of the transition to adulthood the student will be getting a bank account and maturing the signature they will adopt for life. What better time to help them help you? Some features/advantages of our solution include:

Allows information of who is in the School at any time.
In 6th form not all the students that are in the school are in a class hence for H&S the system can track who is in the school.
Can be linked to common operating system within the school e.g. SIMS and allows access to time table and attendance records to be transferred.
The software support within the system can allow for lesson plans to be compiled. This allows for email or text to parents on non-attendance when it happens, allowing immediate action can be taken.
Automatic listing in case of fire alarm - on the fire alarm going off a print off can be automatically sent to any printer and or a number of printers

Where companies have made huge capital investments in production lines or plant and machinery it is often essential to ensure only the appropriate trained operatives are using the machinery. The Sign Assured system can be applied to the management of the machinery to track the eligibility of the operator to use the machine. This type of application has features/advantages including:

Tracking of when equipment has been used and by whom.
Stops untrained people from using the equipment - linked into training needs to ensure staff are developed.
Signatures can automatically be removed when training period has expired. If the training is Software based this can automatically be linked to allow access on successful completion of test.
This demonstration of control may also help reduce the cost of insurance policies, reduce the risk of accidental damage & improve productivity.
