Key Objectives
DHL required a completely secure and reliable answer to their access control requirements but also needed a solution that would be user friendly and unobtrusive to employees, visitors and management.
What was done
Core provided DHL with a state of the art access control solution which utilises the latest in biometric technology – Core’s Iris Scan Solution. The solution has been rolled out in DHL’s Data Centre in Dublin and has proved a resounding success. Iris recognition simply involves taking a picture of the iris, which is then used solely for authentication. This stable, reliable and non-evasive solution employs iris recognition technology to provide DHL with accurate identity authentication without PIN numbers, passwords or cards.
The benefits
DHL have enjoyed a number of benefits since implementing the CoreAccess solution including:
- Reduced costs: DHL have reduced their payroll overheads as employees are now paid accurately for actual hours worked through integration between CoreAccess and CorePay
- Reduced costs and administration: DHL need not incur the administrative or monetary costs involved in creating cards or badges, as joining employees can easily be set up on the solution with no associated cost
- Instant notification of absences or lates, allowing supervisors to more effectively manage their employees and take quick, decisive action, in response to employee absence.
- Provision of a rapid user friendly technologically advanced biometric solution. Enrolment of an employee takes less than 2 minutes with authentication taking less than 2 seconds. This allows DHL employees to be easily set up on the system and facilitates speedy access of staff.

Challenge
To provide an access control solution to Ireland’s 3 major airports, Dublin, Cork and Shannon. The issue of access control in airports is an area where reliability and robustness are paramount. Dublin Airport Authority selected CoreAccess as part of its on-going Aviation Security Strategy.
Solution
The solution comprises of the CoreAccess software application, integrated Kaba Benzing security devices and Legic Smart Card technology sitting on the Hewlett Packard Server technology. The solution controls and monitors the movement of passengers and staff within the Airport and also extends to the use of biometric technology to control staff movement at all high security Airport Locations. The CoreAccess solution is due to be rolled out to the new Pier D of Dublin Airport on the terminal’s completion at the end of 2007.
Benefits

- Dublin Airport Authority chose to adopt a best practice "One Card" approach, using a single card for Visual ID, Security Access Control, Time & Attendance, IT Security Desktop Log-on, Biometric Identification and Parking. By utilising this single card solution DAA are making substantial cost savings on card production as there is only one card to be replaced in the event of loss, damage or theft
- The implementation of Biometric devices in areas of high security has allowed the DAA to utilise the latest technology to ensure the integrity of their most sensitive areas. Biotechnology is the latest in access control and provides a solution which is extremely secure and notoriously difficult to breach
- Core have provided the DAA with a scalable solution, which evolves with their needs as they change. When the expansion of Dublin Airport was undertaken the DAA had no hesitation in extending their existing CoreAccess solution to incorporate the new Pier D
