HID Global has been selected to deliver the company’s network access control solutions and contactless readers at the Fuxi power plant in China’s Sichuan province.
HID Global’s VertX V2000 network access controllers, iCLASS R10 contactless readers and Genuine HID credentials were installed at the Fuxi facility, enabling administrators to restrict staff access levels and entry times based on job titles and critical entry zones, such as the main production plant, engine room, central station and chemical waste areas.
A centralized network access control system provides multi-layered security to eliminate unauthorized access to the plant and ensure the operational safety of production and facility areas. The web-based solution also offers real-time monitoring and enables security administrators to remotely closed facility doors for improved safety management.
With the new system, access to the chemical waste area is restricted to authorized staff, and administrators can establish access rights to prevent unauthorized entry and ensure occupational safety. Additionally, iCLASS readers provide data encryption and mutual authentication capabilities, further increasing the plant’s security.
