Enables Access Tracking, Reporting
On Tasks Performed
Crucially for food processors, the system
also enables reporting on functions and
tasks completed –– such as sanitation
procedures or testing for salmonella. For
example, a customized task list could be
created that would require a card swipe
to record that the task has actually been
performed / completed, and by whom.
Like a punch card, the swipe records
that the employee went to the post, but
not necessarily that he performed the
function. A second step, addition of a
reporting requirement, adds another
level of safety: To fill out a required
report, the employee “opens” and “clos-
es” the document with the key or card.
It would then be encrypted and saved.
Area access within secured rooms or
floors is another level of security
enabled: If an employee wanders into
an unauthorized area, the badge turns
itself “off,” reverting to dark or opaque
configuration with a hologram glare vis-
ible (see photos).
In terms of its ability to turn itself “on”
and “off,” the credit-card sized badge is
unique, Minushkin notes.
Another unique feature is that access
authorization can be timed –– the
ClearedBadge® turns itself “off” and goes
dark when a user’s time on site / in a spec-
ified area is up. This feature enables access
control not only for regular employees, but
for visitors. The ClearedBadge® system
allows access only to locked doors, secure
areas or equipment that an individual is
authorized to access.
In conjunction with the Department of
Defense, Priva has also designed a
next-generation secure microchip to
protect data in portable devices such as
cell phones and laptop computers.
Priva technology utilizes the only com-
mercially available, biometrically
enabled microchip with the govern-
ment’s FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification,
one of the highest security ratings the
federal government awards.
