Summary
Semieta Access Control was signed up by a Premier League Football Club after it managed to solve an intractable problem – how to effectively verify and process thousands of staff streaming into the stadium on match days…in a millisecond!
Challenges
Security and Operations at a state-of-the-art Premier League football stadium needed to manage thousands of workers arriving on-site simultaneously, applying different access control rules vs non-match-days AND linking in real-time to 3rd party databases.
Other access control providers were only able to offer a one-way data upload, requiring staff lists and ID cards to be sent back and forth for approval, causing delays, confusion and security problems.
How Semieta helped
AccessIT designed and implemented an access control solution that could connect instantaneously to an onsite database for staff managed centrally, and a 3rd party agency database, that was updated in real-time in the cloud.
After these checks, the system immediately controlled access to the stadium through turnstiles and controlled doors.
By linking with the external database, we were also able to help the stewarding agency record time in and out, for accurate wage payments.
Key outcomes for the client
- A ‘switch’ for access control on a match-day mode
- Real-time verification of up to 3,200 stewards and staff using 3 separate databases, in milliseconds
- 98 turnstile and door readers across three separate locations
- Accurate Roll Call data in real-time
- Accurate time and attendance for wage payments
- Proper control of out of hours working, including lone worker flags
- No spreadsheets and no stress!
