SilverShield to debut self-service kiosk

April 11, 2019

SilverShield Safety & Information Systems, which offers a cloud-based multi-platform system, will debut a self-service visitor management kiosk this week.

The kiosk enables unmanned registration, according to a press release, and is integrated with the SilverShield Visitor and Incident Management System.

"Our self-service kiosk helps organizations secure all of their entry points so they know who is on premises at all times, even those entry points that are unmanned," said Robin Baker, SilverShield CTO, in the release. "Even a single uncontrolled entrance could otherwise compromise the safety of the facility."

Visitors can self-register using a Mac or PC, iOS or Android device by entering credentials manually, scanning a valid ID or a SilverShield Quick Badge. The kiosk notifies a kiosk monitor that a user has completed check-in, and the monitor can then initiate access or deny access if the details match any watchlist or sex offender entries.

The system can initiate silent alert notifications to any stakeholders the organization chooses. If a user is denied access and becomes a further threat, the monitor can initiate any additional internal or external alarms that are needed.

"The SilverShield self-service kiosk ensures that all visitors are correctly checked in, screened and badged," said Baker. "It's one more way that SilverShield Systems helps keep your facility safe and secure."
