The synergy of Rapid and ICT 

This collaboration between Rapid Access and ICT provides comprehensive security solutions tailored to different needs and scenarios, offering robust and flexible security measures. We outline the options below: 

Integration 1: Visitor kiosk & temporary PIN codes 

Rapid Access Windows kiosks can now interface seamlessly with the Protege GX server, creating a temporary user record and generating a PIN code anytime a worker signs in. This code, printed on a visitor label, allows access to restricted areas. 

Benefits: 

• Ideal for contractors and visitors needing temporary site access.
• Enforces necessary compliance by requiring sign-in via the visitor kiosk.
• Automation in the sign-out process ensures efficiency and removes temporary records in the system.

Requirements: 

• Dedicated entry and exit points with PIN readers.
• Windows Rapid Access terminal.

Integration 2: Visitor Kiosk & Pedestrian Checkpoints 

This integration utilises Rapid Access iPad and Android kiosks to facilitate frequent access while maintaining stringent entry requirements. Multiple checks, such as ID verification via facial recognition, health checks, and compliance confirmations, ensure only eligible individuals access the site. 

Benefits: 

• Unmanned entrances that maintain security integrity.
• Biometric and 2FA measures bolster security.

Requirements: 

• Tablets, readers, and relevant hardware at entry points.
• Biometric credentials in Protege for ID verification.

Integration 3: ALPR & Vehicle Checkpoints 

Leveraging strategically placed LPR cameras, this solution checks vehicles against compliance requirements using licence plate recognition. It seamlessly integrates with Rapid Contractor Management’s Transport Module. 

Benefits: 

• Unmanned vehicle entry with detailed entry records for audits and reports. 
• Real-time data is accessible via Rapid web and mobile apps. 

Requirements: 

• LPR cameras at target entry points. 
• Dedicated server for processing. 

Integration 4: Combined Pedestrian and Vehicle Checkpoints 

A comprehensive approach, combining integrations 2 and 3, provides a workflow that addresses both pedestrian and vehicle access control. 

Options for checks can include: 

• Facial recognition 
• Licence plate recognition
• Blood alcohol level checks  
• Checking compliance at both individual and contracting company level 

 

Integration 5: Access card Integration 

This solution is tailored for permanent staff using swipe cards or PINs. Site attendance data is synchronised into Rapid Access logs, providing insights for attendance and evacuation management. 

Benefits: 

• Centralised access to attendance data for efficient site management. 
• Integrates seamlessly with Rapid Admin mobile app for real-time oversight. 

Requirements: 

• Event logs from dedicated entry and exit points.
