Honeywell’s Sine platform has enhanced visitor and contractor verification with the introduction of Advanced ID Check for SinePoint Pro iPad kiosks. This new feature seamlessly integrates identity verification into the check-in process, eliminating the need for manual document checks or separate workflows. The Advanced ID Check allows for rapid identity confirmation and compliance record creation, expediting visitor processing while ensuring reliable audit trails before any individual enters a site.
“Organisations with serious compliance obligations can’t afford gaps between who they think is on site and who actually is. Advanced ID Check helps close that gap automatically, at the moment it matters – giving teams the audit trail they need without slowing anyone down,” stated Chuck O’Leary, General Manager, Sine by Honeywell.
The system operates by prompting visitors to scan a government-issued ID, such as passports or driving licenses, at the SinePoint Pro iPad kiosk. The platform then quickly verifies document authenticity, checks expiry dates, and matches the ID photo with the visitor’s captured image. This verification is automatically appended to each visitor pass and the activity feed, ensuring thorough documentation before site entry.
For visitors, this process offers a streamlined and efficient check-in, while organisations benefit from consistent, standardised verification across all locations. The automated method removes reliance on staff to detect expired documents or discrepancies during check-in.
Every ID check generates a timestamped compliance record, providing ready evidence of visitor clearance during audits or incident reviews. Organisations can tailor verification requirements by visitor type, allowing for stringent controls over higher-risk categories or contractor access. Discrepancies are flagged, and check-ins can be held for manual approval based on the site’s specific risk profile, giving security teams oversight without hindering routine visitor flow. Importantly, only essential data is stored, with no retention of document images, numbers, or dates of birth.
Chuck O’Leary added, “This removes a significant operational burden – reducing manual document checks, reducing the risk of human error, and having the ability to apply controls to specific visitor types adds an important layer of verification for sites and the people on them.”
This advanced verification technology is well-suited for industries where compliance or safety mandates identity checks, such as manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and critical infrastructure. Advanced ID Check utilises document authentication to assess ID validity through security features, text consistency, and image quality checks before approval. Face matching further ensures the individual matches their ID photograph, and expiration validation catches outdated documents without requiring manual oversight.
Powered by Regula Forensics, used globally by organisations and border control authorities across 250 countries and territories, this system delivers a robust solution for enterprise-level identity verification.
