CLA Global TS: Ensures Workplace Security with Face Recognition Technology - Business Insight - Canon Singapore

    Ensures Workplace Security with Face Recognition Technology

    Maintaining the security of sensitive information has always posed challenges for global accounting and audit firms, including CLA Global TS. To address this issue, CLA Global TS has partnered with Canon to safeguard their workplace and business information.

    Canon offers a powerful Face Recognition Technology solution that combines advanced image processing technologies with state-of-the-art deep learning AI architecture. This technology excels at accurately detecting and identifying faces, even in challenging conditions such as low resolution, difficult angles, and low light. In fact, Face Recognition Technology is ranked as the number one solution in Japan, and is among the top performers globally in four categories of the Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

    Leveraging the uniqueness of facial identities, Face Recognition Technology provides one of the most secure methods for authenticating identities and enhancing workplace security.

    CLA Global TS has implemented Face Recognition Technology in two key areas:

    1. Door Access Control

    By integrating Face Recognition with Door Access Control, CLA Global TS fortifies workplace security by preventing unauthorised and unidentified individuals from entering restricted areas. Administrators have the flexibility to set up different profiles, controlling personnel movement throughout the office. This includes limiting access to high-security areas and implementing time-based restrictions for employees and visitors.

    In addition to enhancing security, this technology also improves employee productivity. With Face Recognition, employees no longer need to worry about forgetting their passes. They can simply glance at the device, granting them seamless, convenient and efficient access.

    2. Secure Printing Control

    To ensure the confidentiality of sensitive documents, CLA Global TS utilises Face Recognition with Secure Printing Control. This feature ensures that only authenticated individuals can release print jobs or scan documents to the cloud or other designated accounts. The system also optimises efficiency and productivity by intelligently routing print jobs to the nearest printers based on employees' locations.

    Moreover, the printing control mechanism contributes to the firm's green initiatives by actively monitoring print usage. Since implementing this solution, CLA Global TS has observed a reduction in printed documents, effectively supporting their waste reduction goals.

    The effectiveness of Face Recognition Technology and Canon's Smart Workspace Solutions in enhancing workplace security has been evident at CLA Global TS. As Lee Tze Shiong, Director of Assurance and Transformation & Quality describes, “These are some of the most genius solutions from Canon because they are safe, secure and contactless.”
