Automation & Face Recognition Paves The Way For Contact less Routine



Did you know that a handshake transfers more germs from one person to another than mouth-to-mouth resuscitation? And germs mean one thing – diseases. This pandemic has instilled in us the fear of touching public surfaces and has forced us to draw attention to activities as mundane as shaking hands and opening doors. It has challenged us to innovate and automate wherever possible for convenience and hygiene purposes.

Consider this scenario: you have arrived at your office, and as usual, you are to register your presence with the biometric fingerprint scanner. Many have already gone ahead of you. Would you dare touch the germ-infested, scanner's interface? Then comes the challenge of opening the office door using the handle or knob. We’ve done this day-in and day-out and never given it a second thought; but today all that has changed.

Washing or sanitizing hands after every action is the immediate solution, but may not be practical long term. The question is not what can be done if you have come into contact with germs, the question is what can be done to ensure no contact in the first place?

The New Face of Convenience and Safety
Enter face recognition, voice-enabled action and automated doors. These technologies have been around for some time, but was considered more a luxury than a necessity.

But off late, the looming threat of the spread of Corona Virus has made everyone reassess their necessities, in relation to safety and convenience. Face recognition has been gaining a lot of traction, as opposed to fingerprint sensors and digital door locks, to allow access to employees in workplaces, residents to homes and guests to hotels.

Digital door locks that earlier offered only keyless entry have now incorporated new tech with face recognition/voice enabled software to heighten the contactless experience.

One-Time Investment, Round-The-Clock Convenience
Face recognition systems are a valuable one-time cost investment. Once it’s been installed, all you have to do is maintain a simple database. You can add or remove authorised persons easily and without any cost.

They also have added security benefits. In other systems, once authenticated, the door stays open for some time, or it can be held open. In that time, an unauthorized person can gain entry. With face recognition systems, only the authorised face is allowed entry; if anyone tries to enter without authentication the system detects it and an alarm is sounded.
