The Last Word… Duncan Perry, ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions

Duncan Perry, CTO for Construction, ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions explains how integrating Biosite hardware with CrewSight and TrakaWEB software sets the company apart.

How is this integration improving site security? 

Construction sites face unique security challenges, with 70% of job site thefts stemming from unauthorised access.

Protecting both people and property has never been more important. Biosite turnstile systems, now integrated with CrewSight and TrakaWEB technologies, offer a seamless blend of hardware and software that enhances site security and operational efficiency. 

The integration allows real-time personnel tracking, ensuring only authorised individuals can access construction sites, alongside asset security for the first time.

It means you have a connection between your keys or assets and your turnstile. Before entering a controlled area, the individual must check out their key or asset before presenting their credentials at the turnstile before being granted access.

Until the key or asset is returned, the individual won’t be able to pass through the turnstile again. 

It’s not just about who’s on site, but how safely and efficiently they move within it.

This synergy strengthens security and streamlines workforce and asset management, reducing administrative burdens and minimizing human error. 

How valuable is it being part of the ASSA ABLOY Group? 

Being part of the ASSA ABLOY Group, a global leader in access solutions, provides Biosite with extensive resources and expertise.

This affiliation enables us to deliver locally responsive and globally scalable solutions. Our products, including the Biosite turnstiles and CrewSight software, are backed by ASSA ABLOY’s commitment to innovation and quality, ensuring our clients receive state-of-the-art security solutions that meet the highest standards. 

How are you addressing the future of construction site security? 

The construction industry increasingly recognises the importance of digital transformation in enhancing site security.

The future of construction site security lies in integrating automated access control systems with workforce management software and real-time data analytics alongside key and asset management.

By leveraging these advancements, we envision a construction environment where safety and efficiency are optimised through intelligent systems that provide comprehensive oversight and control. 

How does Biosite protect data and stay compliant? 

At Biosite, we prioritise data security and compliance. Our systems, designed to adhere to stringent data protection regulations, ensure that all personnel information is handled with the utmost care and confidentiality.

The integration with TrakaWEB enhances our ability to manage access credentials securely, providing a robust framework for compliance with industry standards and regulations. 

What’s on the horizon for Biosite? 

In the coming year, we are committed to further enhancing our solutions through ongoing discussions with Traka.

We aim to incorporate additional features and benefits of TrakaWEB into our CrewSight technologies, creating a more intuitive and efficient user experience.

This collaboration reflects our dedication to continuous improvement and our vision of leading the way in construction site security. 

Integrating Biosite turnstiles with CrewSight and TrakaWEB represents a significant advancement in construction site security.

By combining cutting-edge technology with ASSA ABLOY’s global reach, we are poised to deliver solutions that not only meet but exceed the industry’s evolving needs.

Together, we are local when needed and global when it counts, making a meaningful difference in the safety and efficiency of construction sites worldwide.
