“Samsotech is a great addition to the EBS program. Their ultra-fast scanners come in a variety of form-factors and are compatible with a wide range of identity documents, making them an ideal partner because Symmetry also offers customers flexible, efficient green-field installations, as well as solutions for retrofit of current and end of life products from other manufacturers,” said Symmetry Extended Business Solutions Program Manager, Adam Shane. “Samsotech scanners and Symmetry security management software make a great combination for the front lobby, the HR office, or anywhere in between.”

The result is enhanced accuracy, increased productivity and greater ROI.”

Samsotech passport scanners can read the following ID documents:

  • All international ICAO compliant passports and International ID cards type 1 & 2;
  • Several local identification cards and driver licenses (6,500+); and
  • Machine readable VISAs.

This module will enhance visitor management through easy, accurate and automated entry of visitor ID details, thereby increasing the efficiency and speed of the visitor registration process./p>

Samsotech Interface Module minimizes errors associated with manual data entry and provides a complete automated experience to the user. On the access control side, this module will allow quick and easy capture of an authorized person’s data to offer access in a timely manner.
