Birdi Systems, Inc. has been awarded a multi-year contract to modernize and maintain security systems at Daytona Beach International Airport (DBIA) in Florida.
The contract includes the installation of biometric facial recognition cameras, a perimeter intrusion detection system, an integrated video management system, and a smart key solution. Additionally, the airport will adopt an access control system, an ID management and credentialing system, and a Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) platform.
Another key feature of the project is the implementation of Birdi’s Federated and Integrated Services for Credentialing (FISC) software, which consolidates ID management and credentialing processes into a unified system.
FISC streamlines tasks such as badge applications and employee access management, allowing for efficient control of access credentials. One key feature of FISC is the ability to promptly deactivate access credentials when an employee leaves an organization, enhancing security by preventing unauthorized access.
The system will also automatically deactivate credentials when employees leave the airport. Birdi Systems will further enhance the airport’s operations center by expanding its collaborative capabilities and adding a new audio/visual system for real-time situational awareness.
DBIA is the latest major airport to turn to biometric tech to help improve security and streamline passenger throughput. Recently, Denver International Airport (DIA) announced that it had introduced facial recognition technology at 15 gates to expedite the boarding process for international travelers.
That system compares passengers’ photos with government-stored images, such as passport and visa records, as part of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) initiative aimed at improving flight security. The facial recognition process takes about three seconds and offers an alternative to manual passport checks.
