Going to #EpicorInsights? Have a System Security Concern? Enter: Our Biometric Authentication Solution
Any organization with concerns about secure access to their facility or their Epicor Kinetic system might find it a challenge to ensure that they’re compliant with their quality, security, or business standards.
For example, simply knowing who’s physically in one building or another might be an annoying, costly hurdle that you can’t get around efficiently. That might mean hiring security staff at the gate, checking badges, or any number of other logistical concerns to just get into your facility.
Yet, even after your staff are physically in your building, issues don’t subside there. Just clocking into MES with an employee ID number can easily be “borrowed” by a friend of one employee or another. At that point, you’re dealing with the wrong, unqualified person polluting your system with information that, probably, isn’t correct—not to mention the fact that it’s a security breach.
To solve this problem, we created a solution that integrates biometric devices (in the form of a finger scanner) and signature devices into Epicor Kinetic.
Currently, this solution is most often configured for MES and inspection processing but can certainly be adapted to all modules that require enhanced user security.
Our clients who’ve deployed this solution have reaped the immense benefits of incorporating this technology into their ERP system, not to mention their overall information/technology strategy, to address specific issues.
For instance, a popular tactic in this regard is requiring all staff to scan their fingerprint each time they log into MES, especially at one critical step of the production process or another.
Proper lot tracking, inspection, or any other point in production that requires a specific person to do a specific task is guaranteed by using this solution.
Whether it’s a building access concern, ensuring the right person is entering the right information into your system, or just a matter of expediting different aspects of MES, this solution can help on all fronts.
This unique integration has enabled many of our customers in highly regulated industries to tailor this important aspect of their Epicor Kinetic system to their specific needs.
