HID Global announced it has collaborated with software company Alutel Mobility to power employee authentication at Newmont?s polymetallic mine in northeastern Mexico.
HID?s OMNIKEY? readers, Seos? credentials, and Alutel Mobility?s solution with RAGTAB tablets and Alutel?s mobile app, allow Newmont to safeguard and monitor multiple entry points and car access at rural and underground mine locations, which are often impossible to equip with readers and lack internet connectivity.
?With HID Global and Alutel Mobility?s help, Newmont has been able to establish an innovative access control system that is optimized for our specific needs,? said Daniel Tejeda, project manager at Newmont.
?Previously, there was no control over who was on-site. We have gone from zero control to complete control.?
How it works
- Staff members simply tap their Seos credentials to a RAGTAB tablet with an embedded HID OMNIKEY reader
- The Alutel Mobility app displays the worker?s photo and data for increased visual verification and connects with Newmont?s access control platform for authentication
- The tablet displays signals to allow or deny site access
- If there is no internet connectivity, the mobile device saves the data collected and verifies once the connection has resumed
