[Thailand] Krungthai Card Public Company Limited

THE CUSTOMER

Krungthai Card Public Company Limited (“KTC”) operations include credit cards, personal loans, utilities payment services, and act as a payment service provider. KTC was registered as a legal entity on December 4th, 1996 with an authorized capital of 50 million Baht. On 2nd July 2002, KTC was transformed into a public limited company under the name of Krungthai Card Public Company Limited. The total authorized capital is now 1,000 million Baht with a total of 100 million shares. The company was listed in the Stock Exchange of Thailand on October 28th, 2002.

THE CHALLENGE

For the last 10 years, KTC used different brands of fingerprint standalone devices. However, as biometric access control technology has improved, KTC wanted to upgrade its security headquarters’ access control system. KTC required acentralized fingerprint system installed among two buildings where the Headquarters’ offices are located. The software was required to be sophisticated enough, cloud or web-based, and yet has “ease” of usage and remains “scalable" for future upgrades.

THE SOLUTION

Suprema’s valued partner in Thailand, Tanabutr, replaced the entire system with our own biometric solution. KTC had several brands under consideration for this project. Suprema won the project because our hardware offers superior technology and performance, and as a bonus a sleek design that compliments the headquarter’s offices well. Suprema’s platform also fitted their billing and requirements perfectly. Suprema’s BioEntry P2 (compact standalone fingerprint access control device) which features the fastest matching speed was installed along with BioEntry R2 (a dummy fingerprint reader). A combination of BioEntry P2 and BioEntry R2 were connected through RS485 to Suprema’s CoreStation (Intelligent Biometric Access Control panel). Since the site was required numerous doors, CoreStation topology saved installation cost of IP addresses and LAN bandwidth. Also it enables to use P2 as a substitutional device in case of a CoreStation failure. In case of any unforeseen event, the BioEntrys R2 could be connected as slaves to BioEntry P2 devices and still have a fully working system. Altogether, the Biostar 2 Platform provided a comprehensive solution for Access Control and Time & Attendance, which highly improved KTC’s operational efficiency.

KEY BENEFITS

1) Secured and Convenient System As implementing a centralized system with CoreStation, it results in having a far more secured access control system because no user information or log data are exposed. It also allows administrator to operate the system more conveniently.

2) Total Management Platform BioStar 2 Access Control and Time & Attendance software fully provides all access control features and manages the Time & Attendance solution.

3) Easy Installation No additional Ethernet wiring is needed for fingerprint devices BioEntry P2 and BioEntry R2. The solution can improve effectiveness of the workforce as well as reduce costs.
