Streamlining Contractor Ingress and Egress at a Large Manufacturer Saves Time and Money

Compliance requirements were the primary motivating factor for this large company. An additional benefit was the time employees saved each day by converting from a manual process to an automated one, resulting in significant reduction in payroll overhead. Multiple clip boards for each company supplying contractors were replaced by the Regiscope desktop and ruggedized tablet solutions. Each contractor employee was signed up into the database with photos, fingerprint, address, expiration date, company name, OSHA and other requirements, then printed a color photo ID badge with name, company and bar-code. At the gates, guards replaced clipboards, pen and paper with ruggedized tablets connected to the database server via a secure Wi-Fi connection. A scan of the bar-code on the badge with the ruggedized tablet brings up the contractor photo, name and expiration date, and allows entry or denial, based on database records. The entry or exit record is recorded in the database. All reports necessary for compliance were now easily retrievable from the Regiscope report center, saving the guards several hours of manually entering info. An additional benefit was realized by the clerk in the office who had to record all the contractor hours for payroll. A simple report from the Regiscope report center replaced manual entry from the clipboards.
