Enhanced Security for Airports with Biometric Facility Access Control

The management of ariport security demands operational efficiency, adherence to strict protocols and regulations when dealing with customers, employees, guests, and vendors. Managing access can be challenging, and more importantly, a safety and security risk.

Wicket Access Control & Credentialing allows airport employees, guests, and vendors to safely pair their credentials and IDs with their face, eliminating shareable credentials, increasing security and accountability, and maintaining SIDA compliance.

Access Control

Remove the risk of misplaced or misused credentials or PINs by using facial authentication to manage access to TSA-regulated doors and secured areas of the airport.

Touchless access control for employees, guests, and VIPs, increasing safety and accountability

Restrict and manage access to sensitive or employee-only areas with single or two-factor authentication

Eliminate risk of unknown people and previous employees entering the premises

Replace PINs with facial authentication, removing PIN resets entirely

Remove the safety risk of manual employee screening and reduce lines, minimizing entry bottlenecks

Centralize ID Lists by ensuring that 1 Person has 1 ID across all spaces

Aggregate credentials from multiple access control systems into a single system, streamlining management

Maintain a digital perimeter by verifying individuals in your secured area using facial authentication

Credentialing

Employee Screening

Increase accountability by using a single credential to ID individuals, ensuring only those with the right credentials can enter restricted areas such as gate areas, below wing, FAA facilities, airfield access gates, and more.

Other Use Cases

Escorted Visitor Management

Simplify guest access with the creation of a centralized digital record of escorted visitor entries and exits to and from the SIDA zones

Facial Payments

Seamless payments with ID verification for reduced costs and shorter lines at concessions and airport dining

Time & Attendance

Time-boxed entry makes it easier to determine and manage employee entry, exit, and check-in

Increase Security for Restricted Areas

Increase security and accountability, simplify screening, and improve TSA compliance rates.
