Human Recognition Systems helped secure Olympic Park with MSite biometric solution

British biometric firm Human Recognition Systems (HRS) has played a key role in ensuring safety in the construction of the Olympic Park and Olympic Village for the London Games 2012 via MSite, a biometric identification and access control management platform.

Combining the latest advances in biometric identification, card encryption and cloud-based technology, Human Recognition Systems has supplied a complete identity management and access control solution for the construction protection of the Olympic Park and Olympic Village at the London Games 2012. Implementing this solution on a large scale, having a constantly changing environment, It was a significant challenge that required MSite to operate at levels of security and scale never seen before.. This allowed the MSite platform to evolve and deliver new features to high-profile construction clients., tales como Lend Lease, BAM y Carillion.

The MSite smart card contained hand geometry and iris recognition templates for identification purposes on a single smart card. The large-scale project was flexible, since the scope of construction varied constantly and still, the system consistently maintained its high levels of security, processing more than 30 million transactions a day with 81.000 people registered in the system. This has positioned MSite as one of the most important biometrics systems and security management platforms in the world..

The CEO of HRS, Neil Norman, has commented: “As a British company, I am very proud that our technology plays an important role in protecting the Olympic Park during the last 4 years. It is the largest protection system in the world at the largest event in the world and that is something to be proud of.”.
