Airports
Airports are among the busiest locations in the world, requiring complicated authorization models for access control. They have very specific security requirements to protect their employees and passengers, including the need for strict separation of landside and airside.

Airport security is a 24/7 need. And these days, the persistent threat of terrorism means the stakes are even higher. All the more reason to identify who you can trust, and who you can’t.

AEOS Enterprise offers airports a whole range of options for identification and verification. Biometric ID through fingerprints or iris scans can be integrated into the system. Visual checks are made easy by the AEOS Photo Event Monitor option. With this software, security personnel who remotely monitor events at a particular access point can view an image of all those presenting a badge there.

AEOS software-based programming makes it simpler to maintain landside/airside separation. Any changes to the automatic or manual locking/unlocking schedule of gates can be centrally programmed. No need to send mechanics around to manually change the PLCs that would otherwise regulate the doors.

Because your hardware’s behavior is determined by the software, the system is freely configurable and totally flexible. AEOS gives you limitless expandability combined with constant high performance. No matter how many doors, people, locations or badges the system has to deal with, it never gets sluggish. With AEOS, you’re prepared for the future.

Case Study: Security Management at Geneva International Airport
Securing and controlling a dynamic environment like Geneva international Airport requires a state-of-the-art access control system flexible enough to meet present and future security requirements.

Nedap Security Management simultaneously implemented multiple reader and credentials technology in the AEOS security management system, as well as extensive monitoring, visitor management, contractor management, and vendor & permit management. AEOS has raised Geneva airport’s security standards and provides comfortable, reliable access for people and vehicles.

To comply with strict airport security rules, the AEOS system separately manages contractors, vendors and employees. In this way, the system facilitates people flow management and business operations.

Due to the large crowds at airports, extensive monitoring is required --especially in vital areas. Access to these areas is checked very carefully and badge movements are monitored in the system.

Visual verification takes place at a permanently manned security desk. The photo event monitor in AEOS allows the security officer to check whether the person presenting the badge is the rightful badge owner.
