Intelligent intruder management via RFID

March 2014 Perimeter Security, Alarms & Intruder Detection

When considering an intelligent intruder detection, LogiTag suggests a different approach. LogiTag presents the LogiTrack, a real-time location system (RTLS) for tracking and securing people and assets. From hardware and equipment to valuable artwork, the LogiTrack RFID platform wirelessly tracks, locates, monitors and reports in real time.

Suited to a broad range of applications, LogiTrack can monitor locations, activate alarms, close doors, trigger events and send alerts. This means you can protect and secure patients, staff, visitors, equipment, traffic, medicine – or any type of asset – with greater accuracy and confidence.

The LogiTrack end-to-end hardware-software suite complies with standard wireless protocols and access control systems for seamless integration into existing networks. It operates indoors or out and is accessible from any Web-enabled device (smartphones, tablets, desktops). LogiTrack is installed and in use in dozens of banks, insurance and technology companies, galleries, hospitals and international companies

A success story

A software security company specialising in developing customised Internet security solutions turned to LogiTag for its RFID solutions. All of the company’s clients place their trust in the company’s dedication to and discretion about the sensitive nature of the information they have at hand. As part of this commitment to security, the company has an access control system for monitoring visitors in its facilities.

LogiTag integrated its active RFID technology with the security company’s existing access control system. Using the LogiTrack system, LogiTag met the software security needs in different ways:

* The cloud- and Web-based system communicates with and aggregates information quickly and reliably, without any disruption to the company’s existing hardware infrastructure and network.

* The business rules engine allowed for application specific customisation, tracking each visitor, and generating alerts accordingly.

* Built-in building and zone security maps were customised for the company.

* On-screen, SMS and e-mail alerts (depending on situation) were developed as part of the installation.

* The browser-based system was available to designated users on different devices (at their desk or on their phone).

LogiTag developed and installed a complete LogiTrack system, combining traditional access control with active RFID technology. The system operates on frequencies of 433 MHz and 125 kHz. The application server manages all communication and data flow between the visitor’s tags readers. Information from the tag-reader stations is analysed with LogiTag software and transmitted to the Apollo control stations which present alerts or messages as part of the HMI at the control desk.

The company’s security manager said: “Department managers know exactly where visitors are at all times, which gives them peace of mind and confidence that visitors are not wandering around the facility. They can see high-resolution location information from LogiTrack’s custom security maps and receive real-time alerts if a visitor strays away from or out of permitted areas. Displays and alerts are all delivered in LogiTrack’s intuitive interface.”

The results obtained were as follows:

* Highly scalable system that easily adapts and updates to changing needs, locations, and requirements.

* Versatile, wide range of applications connect to and use the same infrastructure.

* Easy installation and deployment.
