An often overlooked component of a lot of commercial access control systems is lobby/ visitor management. Louisville, Ky.-based Honeywell Access Systems attempts to remedy that with the Lobbyworks system. Configurable for both a manned guard station and a self-service kiosk, Lobbyworks provides powerful visitor tracking and access control.
It offers serious value by automating many different steps in the visitor registration process, such as offering a simple Web interface for preregistration; business card scanning; automatic badge printing; and even automatic notification of the appropriate employee when their visitor checks in.
