A DIGITAL SOLUTION TO A MAJOR EMERGENCY SITUATION IS IN PLACE AND READY FOR USE

Ninja Solutions, an innovation technology company, has designed a unique cloud based application that can assist in managing the situation for office buildings and their users. By quickly moving all access identifications and defining the routes for each tenant, the building manager can take back control instantly. Once the business owner or manager decide to become an active responsible leader, they can quickly redefine the cross-contamination hotspots by reducing the risk of close-contact in public areas and elevator landing lobbies. Door handles and elevator buttons are notoriously difficult to maintain to an acceptable level of hygiene so by rendered these useless, the reduction in risk of infection between tenants and employees is reduced dramatically.

The key word is security, but in a new way.

Now that hygiene has been placed front and centre for important consideration, reducing the risk of infections in the workplace is a concern for most businesses moving forward. Responsible business owners have a duty to minimise the risk that these types of viruses highlight – a sudden outbreak that is quickly passed on by either physical or close proximity contact with an infected person or shared equipment. Security and lobby secretaries may no longer form an effective backbone for controlled access, add to this the contamination risk from multiple common touch points and the office building becomes a breeding ground crying out for an automated access system such as Indoor.ninja.
In large office buildings, security begins with a clear access system between the public and private areas with in its walls. That’s why this new application starts with the fundamental need to modernise the thought process behind access controls. The commonly used RFID plastic cards, we all tend to loose, have many flaws. They can be easily copied, they fall into the hands of some ill-intentioned persons while at the same time they are difficult to track and identify the actual person swiping the card in real time. Biometrics, the identification of a person by fingerprint or facial recognition, eliminates most of these risks. Madis Laas, Innovation Manager at Ninja Solutions: “The digital world provides new, fast and far more secure solutions. We are comfortable with having so much of our working life and communication on our ever present smartphones, adding access controls is easily adapted to with an app “
The Indoor.ninja access system currently has three defined levels for action.

All tenants within the buildings determine the access rights of each of their users based on the location of their workplace (floors, assigned doors) and also timing related to their needs or duties.

The first level is the access doors. These start with exterior doors, garage barriers, indoor access routes and fire exits, all being opened remotely through the touch of a finger on the persons own phone.

Secondly, each tenant can remotely call for an elevator and travel quickly to their designated floor(s). The same person is also given approval rights to welcome their guests in the same manner by remotely opening an access point or inviting them onto a private elevator ride. The users choice of biometric authorisation adds an instant level of security, as there is no longer a question over the authenticity of the request. This makes the employee more responsible for authorising guests access as well as their actions within the workplace.

The third level connected to the previous two. Preventing strangers from being able to enter the private areas of the building. In most cases this relates to couriers and delivery personal who are now directed to a centralised parcel box system. The delivery is placed into the box against the name of the recipient on the screen. Once placed, the recipient receives an instant message inviting them to retrieve the document or parcel when they see fit. The instant notification on their smartphone and corresponding e-mail also removes the intervention of a 3rd party lobby secretary or security guard.

Using the Indoor Ninja platform offers the building owner the opportunity to fully inspect the way their tenants use the office space while reducing the number the layers required for access approvals. Each tenants not only controls the access of their employees but also that of their guests. Exposure to virus and infection risks are instantly reduced as all users navigate using only their own device without the need to interact physically with commonly touched infrastructure. The uniqueness of Indoor.ninja’s digital solution lies in its ability to integrate with many existing access systems as well as to develop new solutions from other manufacturers. All current access control points of buildings can be transferred to the Indoor.ninja platform and to users’ mobile phones rapidly, without having to replace existing systems, rather a quick plug-in.
