Extend the Benefits of Access Control to Visitors & Contractors
SecurityOS is a physical identity and access management solution designed to meet the unique needs of the manufacturing industry. In the fast-paced and competitive market, operational efficiency and security go hand in hand. With SecurityOS, manufacturers can easily manage temporary physical access to their facilities while enhancing security, improving operational performance, and simplifying compliance management.
Centralized Access Control
Simplify the management of physical access to your manufacturing plants and distribution centers. Ensure only the right guests are granted access to critical manufacturing areas. Create customized permissions to control access to all your facilities, authorized times based on details like work shifts or production schedules, and the duration of access such as project timelines or maintenance schedules. With SecurityOS, your factory floors, warehouses and restricted zones remain secure.
Automate Provisioning
Streamline access management for visitors, contractors, and temporary employees with automated workflows. Issuing and revoking access to sensitive manufacturing zones is time-sensitive and critical to operations. SecurityOS removes human error and ambiguity by automating the provisioning process, ensuring that only authorized personnel gain entry to areas like production lines, R&D labs, or secure storage areas.
Compliance & Reporting
Easily meet industry standards and regulatory requirements with detailed audit trails and logs of current and historical credentials issued to facility visitors. With comprehensive physical security analytics, SecurityOS tracks access points, areas visited, and the duration of access—critical for security audits and compliance reviews. Comprehensive reports help you stay on top of temporary visitor activity and provides clear visibility into who accessed your manufacturing facilities, ensuring accountability.
Expire on Sign-Out
Ensure that physical access is automatically revoked when no longer needed. For temporary workers, contractors, or visitors to your manufacturing site, you can configure access tags to expire upon sign-out. Alternatively, set automatic expiration after a specific time, reducing the risk of unauthorized re-entry after a shift or project is complete.
Centralized Management
Simplify operations across multiple manufacturing plants with a centralized platform for managing access credentials. Administrators can easily oversee and manage access for visitors, contractors, and employees at all sites from a single interface, ensuring security and operational efficiency across your entire manufacturing network.
Control Points of Entry
Use your FacilityOS provided hardware or integrate with third-party access control systems to control critical entry points across your manufacturing facility. SecurityOS is not a replacement for access control – it extends the benefits for complex, dynamic requirements.
Data Privacy and Compliance
Stay compliant with industry-specific regulations and safeguard sensitive data. SecurityOS helps ensure that the personal information collected during temporary credential management is protected in accordance with data privacy laws. This is particularly crucial for manufacturers who must comply with strict regulatory standards regarding personnel access and data handling.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets guidelines to ensure workplace safety. Manufacturing facilities must adhere to these regulations to minimize hazards for workers and visitors. SecurityOS supports OSHA compliance by:
- Restricting access to high-risk areas such as machinery zones or hazardous material storage.
- Tracking who enters and exits restricted areas with time stamps, enabling manufacturers to identify and address safety violations.
- Providing audit trails that document who accessed safety-critical areas, supporting safety audits and incident investigations.
Export Control Compliance (ITAR & EAR)
Manufacturers in the defense, aerospace, or high-tech industries must comply with ITAR and EAR, which regulate the access and export of sensitive technologies and materials. SecurityOS helps ensure compliance by:
- Managing access to restricted zones where controlled materials or technologies are stored or handled, preventing unauthorized access.
- Supporting the integration of access control systems with physical security protocols to meet ITAR and EAR regulations.
- Providing detailed access logs to demonstrate compliance during audits and inspections of controlled areas.
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) ensure that products are consistently produced under controlled conditions. Manufacturers must comply with GMP to ensure product quality and safety. SecurityOS supports GMP compliance by:
- Controlling and limiting access to areas where manufacturing, packaging, or product testing occurs, safeguarding product integrity.
- Ensuring only qualified and trained personnel access production lines or sensitive areas, in line with GMP protocols.
- Maintaining detailed records of who accessed GMP-regulated zones, facilitating audits and ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements.
ISO 9001: Quality Management Systems
ISO 9001 is a widely recognized standard for quality management that applies to manufacturing operations. It focuses on product quality, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement. SecurityOS aids ISO 9001 compliance by:
- Managing access to areas critical to product quality, ensuring only authorized personnel can access sensitive areas.
- Ensuring employees and visitors are trained and qualified to enter specific zones, in alignment with quality management requirements.
- Providing detailed, automated audit logs to simplify ISO 9001 inspections and ensure compliance with quality assurance processes.
