Joining digital and RFID card security, Biometric (fingerprint) technology has been added to EMKA’s Electronic Locking and Monitoring (ELM) or cabinet access and environmental control system. This technology is integrated into their modular swinghandle and cabinet locking components.

For the protection of valuable data in compliance with PCI, SOX, SSAE 16 and HIPAA in support of EN 50600, BioLock, with integral fingerprint reader, increases the level of security offered. With unique personal identification and traceability, biometric access control enables the designation of specific alarm fingers which can both open the system and set off a remote alarm to warn of an operator under duress.

In conjunction with PIN codes and RFID access cards, the BioLock provides three levels of protection. The security feature may be applied on an individual cabinet or on a designated block of cabinets with, for example, a group controller supplemented with separate cabinet release protocols. Linked ELock slave units allow multiple releases of separate panels on individual cabinets.

Control Cockpit software offers comprehensive control and monitoring functions, augmented by the flexibility to add/remove/report/alarm in support of the SYSLOG standard. Handling BioLock management, the software also includes an SNMP interface for integration with third party systems.
