ONEstep Self-Expiring TIMEbadge Solutions!

ONEstep TIMEbadge
Tired of issuing temporary badges to visitors only to have them go missing? We have a simple, smart solution that just might be what you’ve been looking for – self-expiring temporary badges. Don’t worry – when the time is up, these unique badges won’t self-destruct! There will be no smoky poof into thin air; there will be no alarm sounding in the distance. What there will be, however, is an easily-identifiable expired badge. And that is the answer your company needs.

While we offer a wide array of permanent badges that are the ideal answer for your everyday employees, there are countless others who require access to your facility on any given day. These can be prospective employees, vendors, maintenance workers, contractors, visiting clients or customers, and more. In order to make their movement throughout your building or site as seamless as possible, chances are good that you currently issue them badges that offer access to every area they might need to be. And if your company is like many, these badges are nearly identical in appearance and function to those that your regular employees use every day. For the most part, that would be fine if those badges were recovered once the visitor departed. Unfortunately, they often aren’t, which can pose a security risk.

A package of ONEstep self-expiring TIMEbadges is an economical solution that can save you time, money, and peace of mind. Often, people simply forget to return their temporary badge at the end of the day, or the person who they would return it to is busy when they are leaving. You’ll never have to worry about missing temporary badges again with ONEstep TIMEbadges. These badges are fashioned from a unique paper that starts off white, but fully displays red ‘void’ stripes one day after being issued. These stripes are easy-to-see even at a glance, so if someone tries to access your facility the next day with yesterday’s badge, it will be immediately apparent they should not be on the premises. Pretty smart, right? We think so, too!

Benefits of Biometric Security Systems

Biometric Security System
Biometrics is concerned with identifying a person based on his or her unique characteristics, often through fingerprint, hand, face, eye, or speech recognition. Biometric security systems are an exceptional way to secure your facility because they only allow people who have clearances in, and it’s often impossible to flub the system like many other forms of security. How exactly are biometrics more secure than other security options? Let’s take a look…

  • Biometrics are unique. Everyone has different biometrics and the chance of two people having the same biometric data is impossible.
  • Unlike ID Cards, a person’s biometric property cannot be lost or misplaced.
  • Biometric property cannot be shared with anyone. Unless it becomes possible to copy your face or hand, nobody could steal your biometric property and unlawfully enter a protected security!
  • Biometrics provides a convenient and low-cost solution for advanced security.
  • Biometric security helps reduce fraud, such as “buddy punching.”
  • Eliminates the problems caused by lost IDs or forgotten passwords.

Biometric security systems are perfect for any facility or business that requires the strictest security sanctions. Biometric systems are highly accurate, incredibly reliable, and make huge improvements to the visible and overall security of any place they are implemented.
