Schneider Electric, world leader in control and signalling components, and Sagem Sécurité (SAFRAN group), world leader in biometric identification solutions, have combined their expertise to create a new security solution for industrial environments: the Harmony biometric switch.
Particularly innovative and perfectly suited to the needs and stipulations of the industrial market, the Harmony biometric switch provides optimum access control to systems and equipment.
The biometrics integrated in the switch combine user-friendliness (no key, badge or password that can be lost, forgotten, stolen or copied) with a high level of protection (unique access using fingerprint recognition). It offers the industrial sector increased productivity by reducing maintenance and operating costs of the system and, at the same time, prevents unauthorised operation.
Autonomy and simplicity
Designed to operate fully independently, without an additional interface (PC), the switch is simple to set-up since both its parameterisation and registration/recording are quick and intuitive directly on the sensor. Regarding installation, its compactness enables it to be easily integrated in a control panel due to its compliance to the standard diameter 22 mm cut-out mounting method.
Innovative technology
Sagem Security, world leader in biometrics and major provider for identification systems throughout the world, has permitted the development of a biometric sensor originating from a compact biometric module of the CBM MorphoSmart range in order to ensure the highest level of security and reliability as possible. This fingerprint recognition sensor uses the optical technology mastered by Sagem Sécurité to provide an excellent quality image as well as the robustness essential in an industrial environment.
