The Challenge

Italian company Sicim SPA is a global infrastructure contractor, specializing in construction services for heavy industries, including chemicals, water supply, oil and gas, marine and others. In Kazakhstan, the company provides oil field and pipeline construction, which requires special attention to safety and security of all personnel involved.

In huge projects, time is of crucial importance. A delay of a few days or hours can mean millions of dollars in lost revenue. Furthermore, Sicim SPA arranges accommodation and meals for all the specialist teams near job locations, as well as transportation and other services. However, they faced quite a few unresolved challenges in living quarters:

High flow of 2000+ employees per site daily
Getting accurate work time data into ERP system
Correctly accounting meals 3 times a day
Ensuring safety in vast work zones with access right verification and ability to report incidents
Ensure HID iClass card compatibility for a large number of existing credentials

The Solution

CredoID was chosen as the core of the system.
The following means were chosen for the project:

High-speed turnstiles installed at dormitories in combination with highly reliable Mercury LP1502 controllers and HID R10SE readers
Anti-passback measures employed to eliminate incorrect double-entries and distorted work time reporting
A custom action script to display multiple enlarged photos of persons entering all monitored turnstiles
Another custom script to temporarily prohibit repeat entries into the cafeteria
HID iClass-compatible mobile readers with CredoID Mobile app distributed to each location security per-sonnel for ID checks on arrival and random verification / incident reporting throughout the day
