International. Genetec announced that it has been working with customers to use its Genetec Mission Control system, Genetec Security Center's decision support technology, in different ways to help automate the inspection process of employees and visitors entering the facility.
As hospitals, factories, large retail stores, and customer service companies struggle to put in place sanitary control measures to minimize the risks of epidemic outbreaks, they often have to resort to time-consuming and error-prone manual processes. To meet this challenge, Genetec has been working with its customers in this way.
Genetec Mission Control is a collaborative decision management system already used in airports, critical infrastructure organizations and security departments to coordinate incident response, through increased situational intelligence and guided responses. Designed to eliminate procedural doubts, it filters noise to provide the essential data, visualizations, and tools needed to respond to various situations quickly and collaboratively. Mission Control also tracks every step of the response process, allowing for thorough post-action evaluation and continuous improvements to standardize operating procedures.
Mission Control can also be used to streamline inspection processes and ensure accurate logging. The system digitizes the inspection questionnaire used by the organization and guides admissions staff through each step to identify individuals who require further evaluation. It also centralizes the data gathered and automates supervisor notification. With Mission Control, customers can significantly speed up the inspection process, while maintaining compliance with safety standards and minimizing operational disruption.
While most solutions require custom coding or manufacturer involvement, Mission Control provides an intuitive configuration interface that allows administrators to create a custom questionnaire to guide staff performing the detection and automatically identify the need for additional verification.
"This is a great example of the unique value that Mission Control offers," said Gabriel Labrecque, Control Mission Product Manager at Genetec. "In cases where traditional decision management systems are slow to adapt and difficult to use, customers can leverage Mission Control's capabilities to quickly address an emerging challenge. This is done simply by using the functionality from Mission Control and leveraging data from their existing security systems."
The main features of Mission Crontrol for detection applications include:
- Centralized Data: Mission Control leverages data from connected security systems to perform inspection, eliminating the need to extract and record data in multiple locations.
- Guided operating procedures: The system automatically identifies people who require a second review based on responses to the questionnaire, rather than relying on staff who follow procedures manually.
Automation: When employees are delayed by a second analysis or sent back home to self-isolate, the data is automatically recorded, and managers and employees can receive a copy of the inspection questionnaire.
- Dashboards: Using Security Center Dashboards, customers can track the latest inspection metrics to measure efficiency, track trends, and assess resource allocation, as well as the impact of these inspections on the organization.
Mission Control offers an intuitive design and management interface. Procedures can be created and customized in a few clicks, so that detection personnel can easily keep up with changes in guidelines. Its centralized data collection provides real-time information from each detection station.
