In order to protect people, assets and property it is imperative that an organisation manages the movement of its employees, visitors and third party personnel into and throughout a facility. Whilst this can essentially be achieved by a security platform, it may not offer sufficient protection particularly in high risk environments. This is because access rights are largely generic and are granted without regard for the purpose and length of time access should be allowed.

The Personnel Movement Control System (PMCS) is the only system that is based on the intent of a person’s access and the timeframe required for that access, controlling and monitoring movement through a series of secure access points in accordance with either a pre-defined or custom time-based trip plan. Alarms are generated when a person is overdue or detected as being in an incorrect location thereby ensuring the safety of unaccompanied personnel.

The PMCS therefore provides the highest level of protection necessary particularly in high risk environments such as military bases; petrochemical, hydro and nuclear power plants; refineries and mines; prisons and detention facilities; hospitals, laboratories and aged/psychiatric care facilities; and manufacturing environments where it is critical that personnel movement is known at all times.

Whilst the PMCS easily integrates with any pre-existing security platform, it can operate as an independent self-contained system incorporating the following components:

CASI-Rusco Micro Controllers (including PoE DirecDoor Controllers)

MIFARE® Smart Cards and compatible Wiegand Readers

PMCS server, PMCS Configurator and PMCS Trip Control Stations.
