Lift storage systems feature biometrics
April 1st 2008 Cargo Storage Systems,
manufacturer of automated
vertical storage devices, has
confirmed that all units will
be supplied with biometrics
access technology.
Using individual
characteristics from
fingerprints that cannot be
transferred or copied, the
storage lifts can be
programmed to permit full or
limited operator access.
The software allows
management to deny access
to unauthorised personnel,
and to restrict access to
specific shelves.
The biometrics system
records operator history,
providing verification, and
reducing opportunity and
incidence of fraud and theft
It also negates the need for
passwords.
Once the Cargo fingerprint
scanner has a record of the
operator's print, it then
identifies the print by use of
an optical scanner. This
consists of an array of lightsensitive
diodes called
photosites, which generate
an electrical signal in
response to light photons.
Each photosite records a
pixel, a dot representing the
light that hit that spot.
Collectively, the light and
dark pixels form an image of
the scanned finger. The
processor then compares the
fingerprint with those on file. More articles from CARGO Automated Storage Systems: |
