Fingerprint biometric access control systems are considered among the most effective access control systems ever made. This is due to a number of factors.
First and foremost, fingerprint biometric access control considered effective due to the nature of the input they take, namely fingerprint patterns. As it were, every individual has unique fingerprints - and these cannnot be faked or exchanged. Thus a properly implemented fingerprint biometric access control is virtually incorruptible. This is unlike the input for other similar access control systems like PINs in PIN-based systems and the cards in smart-card operated systems, which can quite easily fall into the wrong hands, causing irrepairable damage. Consider, for example, the damage the hacking of the PIN opering a mining industry security system could cause.
Another benefit to be gained from fingerprint biometric access control systems is their reliability. It has been observed that properly designed and implemented fingerprint biometric access control systems are reliable and hardly experience the scarry downtimes common with other similar systems like smart cards and PIN-based systems. This is probably due to the unintrusive data entry process employed in fingerprint biometric access control systems, which usually only involves touching a pad with a finger (or a number of fingers) to convey the fingerprint patterns. Now compare this with a smart card oparated system, which usually involves swipping the card onto a card reader, or a PIN-based access control system, which usually involves entering the PIN from a keypad, and you see just how inintrusive the fingerprint biometric access control system data entry process is.
An added advantage from fingerprint biometric access control systems is their relative ease of use. As mentioned, all it usually takes to operate a fingerprint biometric access control system is touching a pad - something everyone - even someone without any knowledge of how basic electronic systems work can still do, and have some fun while at it. Now compare this with PIN based systems, which are inaccessible to illitrate workers and hard to use for literate workers without an understanding of the workings of basic electronic systems.
Due to all these factors, fingerprint biometric access control access systems have found widespread application in construction site time and attendance management as well as in mining industry security. Due to the sheer number of employees in large construction sites, and the usually casual nature of their employment, nothing short of a fingerprint operated time and attendance management system can effectively monitor their going out and coming in.
Another factor making fingerprint biometric access control systems attractive for construction site time and attendance management is their ease of use (just touchig a pad) - considering that the bulk of workers in construction sites may be ill at ease with more complex systems.
In the case of mining industry security, the main factor making fingerprint biometric access control systems highly attractive is the need for foolproof security in mines - and the subsequent fact that only a biometric operated system can really guarantee this, as the alternatives to it are relatively easy to circumvent. Furthermore, the bulk of the rank and file employees in mines - as in construction sites - may be ill at ease with more complex access control systems due to skill mismatch or simply due to apathy towards such complex systems.
