Designing the Access Control System of a Logistics Sector Company

Access control for a logistics company

360-degree system, tailored designed to meet the specific needs of the involved sites

A good distribution structure begins with an efficient logistics organization. This is absolutely true for companies involved in goods distribution, where it’s necessary to coordinate and track the employees work (by recording their attendance and activities) and coordinate work in different areas of the facility, from warehouses to offices, server rooms and vehicle access areas.

In the specific case of our client, an Italian company operating in the field of logistics, we have designed an automated access control system, combining GoPlanner Access and GoPlanner Time.

The context

The client operates in the logistics and distribution field on behalf of a multinational company that is a global leader in the industry. Hundreds of people are employed in the facilities with different shifts and roles. Without an automated personnel management system, errors in management can occur in the case of such large companies.

For security reasons as well, there is a need to protect the assets in the warehouses and monitor the main access points in real-time, sometimes requiring the installation of anti-scaling sensors.

The necessities

The Client requested an access control system to manage employee access to logistics facilities and export their attendance data to a dedicated management system.

It also expressed the need to have access to some specific areas of the buildings under control at all times, requesting the installation of anti-scavenging sensors.

The solution

The system designed by our technical department is based on GoPlanner software combined with a system of physical and logical barriers. Given the need for minute control, in compliance with the GDPR rules; we have provided an anti-override system equipped with 3D cameras. The devices are connected to the access control of physical barriers-turnstiles or gates and their badge readers. If the system detects unauthorized or disallowed passage (bypassing the turnstile), an alarm is generated.

For each turnstile, we have provided customized platforms to facilitate installation, cable routing and accessibility.

The results

The Client immediately experienced greater effectiveness in controlling the access of goods and people, with positive repercussions especially in the management of employees and goods in warehouses.

Thanks to the continuous work of our research and development department, the client benefits from a constantly updated solution.

Products choice

GoPlanner Access and GoPlanner Time Softwares, delivered in the cloud, were combined with a careful selection of hardware products: turnstiles, gates and terminals were chosen in consideration of the specifics and needs of each venue.
