Access Control for Factory and Warehouse Sites
A sober shift policy on paper cannot stop an impaired worker at the gate, and a fixed terminal cannot record attendance at a loading dock beyond the network. This scenario shows how one factory access control system from EASCO closes both gaps.

Logistics Warehouse Site
The Challenge
A written safety policy against impaired workers does not enforce itself at the door. A card only clock in cannot confirm that the person tapping the badge is the badge owner. The loading dock and yard often sit beyond the reach of fixed network cabling, so attendance goes unrecorded in the areas farthest from the main gate.
The Approach
At the main gate, the EASCO ESFAT terminal runs a breath alcohol test and a face match in one step, and the warehouse turnstile opens only when both pass. At the dock and yard, ESR51 rugged handheld terminals record attendance over 4G, so no fixed cabling is needed.
The Outcome
Identity and sobriety are verified together at the point of entry, instead of relying on self declaration. Attendance covers the dock and yard as well as the main gate. Because every clock in is tied to an enrolled face, buddy punching stops at every entry point.
Where Card Based Factory Access Fails
Unenforced Sober Shift Policies
" A written policy cannot stop an impaired worker from reaching the production floor. "
Attendance Gaps Across a Large Site
" One terminal at the front gate misses the loading dock and outer yard. "
Buddy Punching
" A card only system cannot stop one worker from clocking in for an absent colleague. "
Harsh Operating Conditions
" Dust, humidity, and temperature swings shorten the life of hardware not sealed for industrial use. "
Factory Access Control Built for the Shop Floor
ESFAT Alcohol and Face Terminal
" Alcohol detection and a face match run in one step. The clock in completes only when both pass. "
ESR51 Handheld With 4G
" A rugged handheld terminal records attendance wherever crews work, with no network cabling required. "
Face Matched Clock Ins
" Face recognition time attendance ties every record to one enrolled person, whether at a fixed gate or a handheld unit. "
IP65 Sealed Terminals
" Handheld and fixed terminals are sealed against dust and water jets, so they keep working in docks, yards, and humid production halls. "
Frequently Asked Questions
The worker looks at the terminal and blows into the breath sensor. The face match and the alcohol reading happen in a single interaction. If both pass, the attendance record is saved and the gate opens. If either fails, the gate stays closed and the event is logged for the supervisor.
Treat it as a screening result, not evidence. The ESFAT is a workplace screening device. Where a confirmed result is legally required, such as regulated testing in the US, confirm it with an evidential breath testing instrument approved under your local rules and your company policy.
Yes. The ESR51 handheld sends records over 4G. Where there is no signal, records are stored on the device and uploaded when the connection returns.
The breath test and face match run together in a few seconds per worker. For sites where hundreds of workers arrive at once, add more ESFAT lanes or stagger shift start times so the gate never becomes the bottleneck. Share your largest shift size and we will size the lane count.
Yes. EASCO engineers train supervisors by video call on enrolling workers, reading attendance reports, and handling failed alcohol checks at the gate. English manuals are included for shift leads.
It depends on the number of lanes and the civil work needed. Gates arrive prewired and tested, so on site work is mainly anchoring, cabling, and commissioning, with EASCO engineers supporting your installer remotely. Handheld terminals are ready to use once staff faces are enrolled.
