Tensor Integrates the ievo Biometric Fingerprint Readers with our Tensor.NET Access Control and Time & Attendance Platform

Tensor plc, the UK based, award winning market leader in the design, manufacture and installation of security, access control, attendance monitoring and energy management solutions, and the only Access Control manufacturer and installer to hold both the NACOSS Gold and the 'Secured by Design' certifications, are delighted to announce the integration of the CPNI-approved ievo biometric fingerprint readers into our industry leading Tensor.NET Access Control and Time & Attendance platform.

Building on Tensor plc's pioneering leadership in the access control, time & attendance and security markets and using ievo's expertise in developing secure biometric identification and authentication systems, this partnership will enable new and existing customers to enjoy a superior level of security, usability and efficiency, whilst significantly reducing operational costs.

Customers requiring a security upgrade, or who are new to biometric technologies, can trust that the Tensor Time & Attendance and Access Control systems integrated with ievo biometric readers provides a secure & reliable solutions that can be used in virtually any environment and in any configuration (from a single door to complex, multi-site enterprise level systems).

Due to the multispectral imaging technology, the ievo readers are able to correctly identify a registered fingerprint even with surface contaminates (grease, dust, etc.) present on the skin, as well as some types of latex gloves worn by the user. This makes the Tensor.NET Time and Attendance and Access Control system integrated with the ievo readers, the ideal solutions for an extensive array of applications, from food processing facilities to construction sites and from gyms to secure government installations.

The Tensor.NET platform is highly versatile, flexible and scalable; the ievo fingerprint reader simply connects to Tensor's T8526 Intelligent IP Access Controllers or T32xx Time & Attendance station. The process of adding and controlling users is conducted via the standard Tensor.NET software interface, which stores the user fingerprints against the employee's existing record — eliminating the need for a separate enrolment application.

The seamless nature of the process means that existing and prospective Tensor customers can easily add ievo biometric fingerprint readers to their system with minimum disruption to their daily activities. Plus, they can also customize the look of the readers to better match their premises, as multiple colour options for the cases are available, upon request.

Rob Cochrane, Group Sales Director, Tensor plc commented "At Tensor, our clients' security requirements are of the utmost importance. We only select technology partners capable of delivering proven, robust technologies that we know will meet the highest standards. By integrating the ievo biometric fingerprint readersinto the Tensor.NET Access Control and Time & Attendance platform, we offer new and existing customers the option to choose a fast and secure biometric authentication solution that works very well even in the harshest environments."

"Innovation for the access control market is always at the foresight of ievo's business model, developing accessible solutions to the wider market is both encouraged and celebrated. We are extremely happy to announce our new working relationship with Tensor plc which only embellishes this ethos. We are pleased to announce that ievo fingerprint recognition is now fully integrated into Tensor's Access Control and Time & Attendance solution" said Keri Feeney, central region account manager, ievo Ltd
