SmartGate - The Smart Solution to a Secure Site

Introducing SmartGate

The Bull SmartGate System offers ultimate site safety and complete control of access to sites.

The ‘off the shelf’ solution from Bull Products utilises the infobric access control cloud-based software along with Ievo biometric readers to allow access. The turnstiles also have the ability to interface with temporary emergency alarm systems which allow the turnstile to rotate freely – enabling a quick escape in the event of a site evacuation. Most commonly, the Cygnus Wireless Alarm Systems are used for this.

IEVO Ultimate Biometric Hardware

Construction environments are known for housing high levels of dirt, grease and dust which is then also present on the skin. This type of environment can often hinder biometric security systems that simply cannot function through the debris. The Ievo Ultimate uses multispectral imaging (MSI) to read the surface of the skin and data points from the subsurface level (up to 4mm deep) of a finger.

This advanced method allows for a high number of uniquely identifiable data points to be recognised and used for a more accurate, reliable and efficient verification process. Equipped with an internal thermostat- controlled heater, the Ievo biometric fingerprint reader can operate in conditions as low as -20°C and is IP65 rated so it can function in all weather conditions.

Infobric Cloud Attendance Software

Ideal for construction sites of all scales, Infobric is the safe and simple solution that keeps track of the presence on site

An electronic staff ledger is a digital attendance registration that keeps track of who is on the construction site. The registration can be done using a smartcode (for example, the IPAF or CSCS card) or a biometric reader. Information is then stored in the web service, Infobric Ease.

Infobric allows you to monitor exactly who’s on the construction site, how long they are there and how much time they are spending on
projects. Plus, it is easy to add additional units to control registration and presence as the construction site grows. Infobric also supplies
units that control door locks, gates, plant and power usage.

How does it work?

1. Plug and Play control box

Simply plug in the Control Box or Regbox. Registration is done quickly by the individual’s smart cards. You can add people who should have permission to register their attendance on site through Infobric Ease, or you can choose to add them automatically by reading their card on the Regbox. (Use the Regbox as a permanent registration station or move it around to various locations if your worksite is geographically spread. The solid Regbox is industrially classified and designed to operate in both indoor and outdoor environments.)

2. Infobric ease

The Regbox is connected to the web service, Infobric Ease, and you can log on to the system from your computer, tablet or smartphone. Wherever you are, you can see who is on the construction site and you can produce a full suite of reports for those individuals. Should there be an emergency, you have complete visualisation of who is on site at that precise time and can immediately produce a fire roll call.

3. Control Panels

Each location will have a separate control box with direct access to the Infobric cloud-based software, and when in operation, it is charged out at a weekly rate, per location.
