UK Biometrics has provided a biometric based access control security system at fourteen of Busy Bee children nurseries chain in the United Kingdom/ The system has been trialed for the past year, according to a Computer Weekly article. Following the success of the trial Busy Bee has placed a more than $1million order from UK Biometrics to fit the rest of the chain with the biometric access devices.
The access system is not only for employees of the care centers, but the parents of the enrolled children as well. The system now keeps unauthorized people from accessing the nurseries as well as allowing the caretakers to stay attentive to the children when parents are dropping other children off.
The system is setup to ensure forgeries or data theft is near impossible. By encrypting the fingerprint data of the users and storing it locally at each nursery rather than a central database they are able to stop the theft of any usable data. Additionally, the scanners scan more than the print by scanning sub-dermal ridges on the finger making it essentially impossible to fake a print.
