NISA Project: Employee Management Case Study

Message Display Terminal, and the system automatically allocate the next free locker. Within a few weeks, the solution was drafted, and the Borer Dynamic Locker Management Solution was formed.Instead of fitting one locker per staff member, they fitted 1/3 of the required amount, enough to cover a shift. When the employee presents their card to one of eight Message Display Terminals, the system will look for the next available locker in that bank, and allocate it to the employee. The system will then only allow that user to access their allocated locker. When it is time to leave site, at the end of a shift, by presenting a card at any of the “OUT” (off site) readers and exiting through the turnstile clears their allocation ready for the next shift. The locker will then be free for the next user. The amount of lockers, and access equipment deployed was considerably less than other solutions, which reduced the cost and relieved valuable floor space. The system provides remote opening, indication of locker allocation and historical locker use through a standard web browser.

Benefits:
-The value was added due to the reduced costs of not having to administrate mechanical keys for the lockers (replace broken/lost keys)
-An audit trail of usage reducing mindless vandalism/damage of lockers, lowering maintenance costs
-Metallic locker keys were not required to be carried, enabling other 3rd party metal detection security systems to function properly
-The system provides remote opening, indication of locker allocation and historical locker use through a standard web browser

Key Features:
-Dynamic locker allocation, chosen without operator intervention, linked to access control site IN/OUT status
-Group lockers i.e.system will allocate wheelchair users with lower level lockers, Motor cycle users with wider lockers for crash helmets, etcUses single site card, the same card is used for time recording, cashless vending and photo ID
-Static allocation, so same locker can be used by an individual. Diabetics can keep supplies of insulin on-site in their locker outside of shift rotation
-Remote override operation, administrator can open locker from remote desktop PC if card becomes faulty, look at the history of usage and remove a person from a locker
