- Shared Device RosterAccess control and face recognition devices read the same roster, including whether entry is allowed and why
- Entry and Exit RecordsEntry and exit records return to IPCS and remain available when you change device vendors
- General Contractor ControlThe roster is maintained in Site Personnel Management; device vendors can read it but not change it
- Site-Specific AuthorizationEach vendor is authorized per site, and access is revoked when the project closes or the contract ends
Problems & solutions
Access control and face recognition each have their own portal, and the site manager logs in to several websites every day
Devices send back entry and exit records, and the office overview shows headcount on site and last upload times
The site manager just uses IPCS, with no logging in to each vendor's portal or requesting reports
Face recognition devices store their own worker lists, so people who left can still get in and new hires can't get through
Access control devices read the Site Personnel Management roster directly, and removed people are listed separately
No re-entering records on each device, and removed people can be deleted from devices in sync
Entry and exit records sit in the vendor's system, so changing vendors means losing the history
Devices send back entry and exit records, unrecognized entries are kept too, and you can search by person and date
Keep your entry and exit history when switching device vendors, and check whether someone entered on a given day
Devices can't get the latest list of people who are banned or barred for violations
The roster sent to devices includes whether entry is allowed and why, matching Site Personnel Management
No need to notify the access control vendor separately, and the gate and devices decide from the same roster
After a site closes or a vendor's contract ends, devices keep sending data
Authorization can be disabled at any time, and only devices registered by the general contractor can send data
The general contractor disables access when a project closes or a contract ends, and operation and transmission logs are kept for review
Features
Roster sent to access control devices
Access control and face recognition devices read this site's roster, including whether entry is allowed and why, so each device can decide whether to let someone in.
Removal list sync
People who have been removed are listed separately, so devices can delete them in sync.
Entry and exit record upload
Devices send check-in and check-out records back to IPCS, and unrecognized entries and exits are kept too.
Data only for registered devices
Only devices the general contractor has registered in advance can receive data, and unregistered devices can't send data in.
Authorization by site and vendor
Each site and each vendor is authorized separately and can be disabled at any time.
Integration guide
Generate a vendor-specific integration guide as a PDF in one click and hand it to the device vendor to follow.
Site board
Shows who's on site now, today's entries and exits, recent arrivals, and today's headcount by trade and work item, plus the weather and air quality for the site's city. Supports full screen.
Office overview and entry/exit search
See today's entries and exits, headcount on site, the number of unrecognized records, and each device's last upload time. Search past entries and exits by person and date.
Activity log
Back-end operations and vendor transmissions are logged, so there's a record to check if a contract ends or something goes wrong.
vs. traditional methods
Site entry and exit records are searchable in IPCS, with no logging in to each vendor's portal
The roster follows Site Personnel Management; device vendors can read it but can't add or edit
Device vendors follow the same integration guide to connect their equipment, with no separate development per brand
The general contractor authorizes by site and vendor, and can revoke access when a project closes or a contract ends
Who it's for
Owners, evaluation committee members, and visitors
See who's on site and today's entries and exits on the gate board.
Site managers and the site office
Track headcount on site and today's entries and exits without asking the access control vendor for reports.
Safety and access control staff
Keep an eye on unrecognized entries and exits, and on whether each device is still sending data.
Project managers and company management
Entry and exit data from every site lands in IPCS, and access can be taken back when a project closes, a contract ends, or a vendor changes.
