Overview of innovative end-to-end visitor management solutions:
friendlyway hardware and software solutions, integration with Interflex
friendlyway covers all phases and aspects of professional visitor management. At the Interflex Customer Solution Day at the ZEISS Forum in Germany, we showcased advanced solutions for the manufacturing industry and companies subject to strict critical infrastructure regulations.
The event under the slogan “Digitalization — new ways, your opportunities!” featured inspiring discussions of current trends and best practices, idea exchange, and networking with experts. This article provides an overview of the solutions we presented, especially the ones we have developed in collaboration with Interflex, our project partner for visitor management systems.
Intelligent Self-Service for All Types of Visitors
Self-Check-In/Check-Out
Lighten the load on your reception team while enhancing security and compliance — let visitors handle their registration autonomously at the friendlyway check-in kiosk. You can tailor registration processes to different visitor types. Pre-registered visitors would use the QR or PIN code received with their invitation, whereas walk-in visitors would input their data directly at the kiosk.
Automated ID Verification
All visitors can identify themselves with an official ID document (ID card, passport, or driver’s license) or biometric data. The built-in card reader scans the ID document, and the camera captures the visitor’s face. The final check can be automated or confirmed by the security team. Only after confirmation is a visitor granted access to the site.
Visitor Badging at the Kiosk
Automatically generated visitor badges save your team the hassle of manual printing with external devices. The kiosk’s built-in printer creates visitor badges in seconds, available as simple badges or RFID-coded access cards. The return of the badge is then automatically documented during check-out.
Efficient Management of Legal Documents
Proper compliance forms protect your business, reducing the risk of liability claims. Visitors, external suppliers, and contractors sign the required agreements online during pre-registration or on-site at the friendlyway check-in kiosk with a digital signature. You can set a document validity period to avoid repeated checks for recurring visitors. A complete digital log of all the signed documents is available.
Access Management for Logistics Partners
Registering logistics partners is faster and more secure with a friendlyway self-service kiosk provided indoors or outdoors at the facility entrance. Truck drivers can identify themselves with their driver’s license at the kiosk, and the security team receives the data for verification. Freight documents are handled automatically through integration with the yard management system.
Integration with Other Systems
friendlyway solutions integrate seamlessly into existing IT landscapes and physical access management systems. friendlyway’s API-first architecture enables integration with Interflex IF-6020 and IF-6040, MS Outlook, MS Teams, Microsoft 365, and other applications. As a result, your teams can use their familiar applications while enjoying comprehensive visitor management features.
