In the Dominican Republic, a well-known beer production company recently completed a comprehensive upgrade of its factory security system. Addressing the brewery's high standards for personnel access control, Chongqing Huifan Technology Co., Ltd. (HFSecurity) tailored a full-height gate access control system for them, covering key areas such as the raw material warehouse, brewing workshop, packaging production line, and finished product logistics area. Based on their actual management needs, the client chose NFC card swiping as the primary access method, achieving convenient and efficient personnel management while ensuring high security. The brewery has multiple functional areas including raw material storage, saccharification and fermentation, bottling and packaging, and logistics and delivery. The factory area not only houses permanent employees but also a large number of temporary workers, equipment maintenance personnel, logistics drivers, and visitors. Traditional half-height turnstiles or ordinary card-swipe access control systems are insufficient to prevent people from climbing over or tailgating. Unauthorized personnel may infiltrate unauthorized areas, posing risks to food safety, production safety, and the leakage of trade secrets. To address this scenario, full-height turnstiles, with their fully enclosed rotating gate structure, completely eliminate climbing and tailgating, making them the ideal choice for brewery security upgrades. HFSecurity's full-height turnstile access control system for breweries uses a robust stainless steel rotating gate body. The gate height exceeds that of an adult, effectively preventing crossing. Each channel is an independent passage space for "one person at a time." Only after the person completes identity verification will the turnstile rotate to release a passage opportunity, ensuring absolutely single-person, single-entry entry. This series of full-height turnstiles is equipped with a thickened stainless steel chassis and impact-resistant rotating rods, capable of withstanding high-intensity, frequent use. Designed for the humid, water-rich environment of breweries, the equipment surface undergoes rust and corrosion protection treatment, and the internal electrical components feature a sealed design, providing a high level of waterproofing and dustproofing, suitable for the harsh conditions of brewing workshops and cleaning areas. In this deployment, the client, considering their management habits and employee convenience, chose NFC card swiping as the sole identification method. Each employee and resident supplier is issued an encrypted IC card, which is simply swiped on the sensor area of ​​the turnstile for verification. The turnstile automatically rotates to allow passage, the entire process taking only one second and requiring no contact with the turnstile itself. The card swiping system is linked in real-time with the factory's personnel attendance data. Employee entry and exit records are automatically generated into attendance reports. Card swiping permissions for temporary workers and visitors can be set by shift or time period, automatically expiring afterward. Security management personnel can access the passage records of each turnstile at any time, enabling traceability of personnel flow. HFSecurity full-height turnstile terminals support multiple authentication methods, including facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, QR code scanning, and palm vein recognition, allowing clients to flexibly select according to their actual needs. We also provide a free SDK development package and standard API interfaces to support secondary development and system integration. Furthermore, the company offers comprehensive OEM/ODM customization services, customizing everything from equipment appearance and functional configuration to software platforms to meet the personalized needs of different scenarios. To address the frequent material transportation needs of breweries, HFSecurity specifically designed widened full-height gates in the logistics channels, accommodating handcarts, forklifts, and small trailers. Simultaneously, separate card-swiping pillars and fast lanes were provided for logistics drivers, achieving separation of people and vehicles, ensuring logistics efficiency while avoiding the safety hazards caused by mixed traffic. In the finished product shipping area, the full-height gates are linked to the vehicle dispatch system. Only drivers who have completed the goods manifest verification can swipe their cards to enter the loading platform, further standardizing logistics management processes. After the full-height gate access control system was implemented at the brewery, the level of security management in the factory area has significantly improved. The factory's security manager stated, "In the past, outsiders would often try to tailgate into the production area; now, the full-height gates have completely eliminated this phenomenon. Moreover, everyone's card swipes are recorded, showing who went where and when." The factory's HR department also reported that after employee attendance data was integrated with the access control system, the statistics on late arrivals and early departures became more accurate, and the calculation of temporary worker hours was automated, reducing manual statistical errors. Designed for the high humidity and frequent cleaning environments of breweries, HFSecurity full-height turnstiles are constructed from 304 stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. The motor and control system are wide-temperature capable, operating stably from 0℃ to 50℃. The equipment supports offline mode; even during network outages, the turnstiles can still verify access using a local access control database, ensuring uninterrupted production. The Dominican Republic is a major manufacturing hub in Central America, and this brewery case study fully demonstrates the superior performance of HFSecurity full-height turnstiles in industrial production environments. Moving forward, HFSecurity will continue to expand its presence in the Latin American market, providing high-security, high-durability, and customizable full-height turnstile solutions to help more manufacturing companies achieve intelligent security transformation and upgrades.

With the accelerated digital transformation of the retail industry, consumers' demands for payment convenience and security are constantly increasing. While solutions such as QR code payment and facial recognition payment are already widespread, problems such as dead phone battery, poor signal, and lighting affecting recognition remain. In response to this market trend, Chongqing Huifan Technology Co., Ltd. (international brand "HFSecurity") has launched a palm vein payment solution for supermarket scenarios, which has been successfully deployed in several chain supermarkets in China, bringing consumers a brand-new "pay with a simple gesture" checkout experience. In traditional supermarket checkout scenarios, consumers often face the following problems: QR code payment requires accessing the phone, involves multiple steps, and is even more awkward when there is network latency or the phone is dead; while facial recognition payment does not require a phone, the recognition rate decreases in low light, when wearing a mask, or at an incorrect angle, and some consumers have concerns about privacy and security. For supermarket operators, improving checkout efficiency, reducing queuing time, and mitigating payment risks are core demands. A solution that ensures both transaction security and contactless payment has become a key focus for supermarket managers. ▍Palm Vein Payment: Pay with a Raise Your Hand, Secure and Contactless HFSecurity's palm vein payment terminal utilizes advanced near-infrared palm vein recognition technology. For first-time users, simply place your palm above the device's sensing area; the system quickly collects and binds it to your payment account. At checkout, simply raise your hand again, and the system completes identity verification and automatically deducts the payment within milliseconds. The entire process requires no contact with the device, no mobile phone, or bank card—truly "swipe your hand and go." Palm vein recognition reads the distribution structure of subcutaneous veins in the palm, a physiological characteristic that is extremely difficult to replicate or forge, and requires a living body to be read. Compared to facial recognition, palm veins are unaffected by light, masks, or makeup; compared to fingerprint payment, there are no issues with peeling skin, moisture, or dirt on the fingers; and compared to QR code payment, it does not rely on a mobile phone or internet connection. These characteristics make it an ideal choice for high-traffic, high-security scenarios in supermarkets. In practical supermarket applications, the HFSecurity palm vein payment solution brings multiple benefits to consumers and operators: Significantly improved checkout efficiency: Consumers no longer need to search for their phones or wait to scan; a simple gesture completes the payment, significantly reducing transaction time and effectively alleviating queue pressure during peak hours. Higher security: Vein features cannot be stolen or counterfeited, and liveness detection prevents forgery, providing strong protection for transaction security. Wide applicability: Suitable for all ages and finger conditions, easily usable by everyone, bridging the digital divide. Integrated membership identification: The system can simultaneously identify membership status, automatically accumulating points and deducting coupons without additional operation. HFSecurity palm vein payment terminals can be flexibly deployed in various supermarket checkout scenarios: Manual checkout counters: The terminal is placed next to the cashier; consumers can complete the payment simply by extending their hand. It can be used in parallel with barcode scanners, without requiring cashiers to change their operating habits. Self-service checkout machines: Self-service checkout machines integrating the palm vein module allow consumers to scan items and then pay by raising their hand—a fully self-service process requiring no human assistance. Unmanned convenience stores: As the primary payment method, combined with palm vein recognition for access control, they achieve a seamless "swipe your hand to enter, swipe your hand to pay" experience. The equipment supports seamless integration with the supermarket's existing POS system, enabling real-time transmission and reconciliation of payment data through a standard API interface. Deployment is quick and requires no replacement of the entire POS hardware. At a pilot store of a chain supermarket, many consumers tried palm vein payment with the guidance of cashiers. A young customer said, "I've used facial recognition payment before, but it's not convenient when wearing a mask. Palm vein payment is new, and it's especially convenient because I don't need to take out my phone." An elderly customer said, "I'm not very familiar with mobile phone operation, but now I can pay by raising my hand. I don't have to worry about forgetting my password, which makes me feel very secure." Supermarket cashiers reported that consumers using palm vein payment generally had smooth operation, with a high recognition success rate. There were no failures due to wet fingers or lighting conditions, greatly reducing the communication burden on cashiers. With the maturity of biometric technology and increased consumer acceptance, palm vein payment is expected to become the next generation of payment methods after QR code scanning and facial recognition. HFSecurity will continue to focus on the retail scenario, providing supermarkets and retailers with a highly secure, stable, and easily integrated palm vein payment solution to help them improve checkout efficiency, optimize the customer experience, and build a differentiated competitive advantage. Currently, HFSecurity has released its SDK and API for palm vein payment terminals, supporting system integrators, POS equipment manufacturers, and retailers for secondary development and rapid integration. Together, we will usher in a new era of "palm-swipe payment."

As the retail industry undergoes an upgrade toward more refined operations, traditional management methods—such as manual verification, card-based access control, and paper-based registration—are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of supermarkets regarding employee time & attendance, internal control, and visitor traceability. These traditional methods commonly suffer from issues such as unreliable identity verification, distorted attendance data, lax control over external personnel, and low passage efficiency. Addressing these operational pain points, HFSecurity has custom-designed an integrated solution featuring face recognition swing gates and access control systems. This solution has now been successfully deployed in numerous large-scale supermarket chains across the country, comprehensively enabling intelligent access control for areas such as employee entrances, logistics receiving zones, and administrative offices. Traditional supermarket access management suffers from significant drawbacks: employee access cards are easily borrowed or misused, making it impossible to guarantee the authenticity of the identity of those entering or exiting. Furthermore, there are often no complete records of the entry and exit of suppliers, delivery personnel, and temporary visitors, creating potential security vulnerabilities in critical areas such as back-office zones and warehouses. Concurrently, manual attendance tracking is inefficient; since clock-in data is disconnected from actual passage records, it is difficult to accurately verify attendance status, thereby significantly increasing management costs. The deployed solution centers on face recognition terminals and intelligent swing gates. Leveraging high-precision face recognition algorithms and liveness detection technology, the system effectively thwarts fraudulent attempts using photos, videos, or other spoofing methods, thereby ensuring accurate and secure identity verification. The equipment is designed to adapt to the complex and varying lighting conditions typical of supermarket environments, enabling recognition and passage within seconds. Requiring neither access cards nor physical contact, a single lane can support high-frequency traffic flow, thereby completely resolving the issue of congestion in access lanes during peak employee arrival and departure times. The solution achieves deep integration between access control and time & attendance systems, establishing an automated management model where "passing through equals clocking in." Records of employees entering and exiting back-office areas are automatically synchronized with attendance data, allowing administrators to monitor the attendance status of the entire workforce in real-time and accurately identify anomalies such as late arrivals, early departures, or absenteeism. Tailored to the multi-store and multi-shift operational characteristics of supermarket chains, the system supports time-based and zone-specific access permission controls, allowing for the precise restriction of access times and areas for employees in different roles—thereby significantly enhancing the level of granularity in internal management. Regarding the management of external personnel, the solution is adaptable to a diverse range of scenario-specific requirements. Long-term suppliers can register their facial profiles to be granted permanent access privileges. Temporary visitors and delivery personnel, conversely, can obtain time-limited access to designated areas via temporary QR codes or facial recognition permissions authorized at the front desk. All entry and exit records are automatically archived, ensuring full traceability while effectively balancing security requirements with operational convenience. This solution is adaptable to a wide variety of supermarket premises and operational environments. It supports multiple deployment configurations—including single-lane setups, parallel multi-lane arrays, and customized extra-wide lanes—making it suitable for diverse settings ranging from standard supermarket aisles to large-scale retail floors and goods receiving areas. The equipment is constructed from thickened stainless steel, rendering it dustproof, moisture-resistant, and impact-resistant—ideally suited for the complex supermarket environment, which often features dusty conditions and significant temperature fluctuations. Furthermore, the system supports offline operation; in the event of a network outage, it continues to perform verification checks and store data locally, automatically synchronizing the information once connectivity is restored to ensure zero data loss. To date, this solution has been successfully implemented across numerous supermarket chains, yielding tangible results. It has completely eliminated issues related to employees clocking in on behalf of others, while automated attendance tracking has significantly reduced the burden of manual data compilation. Moreover, it has standardized personnel management in goods receiving and office areas, thereby effectively mitigating security risks within the retail environment. Moving forward, HFSecurity will continue to deepen its focus on the retail sector, leveraging intelligent and customized access control solutions to empower supermarkets in achieving sophisticated, standardized, and intelligent management upgrades.

At the core of this solution lies a high-precision face recognition terminal equipped with liveness detection technology. This technology effectively thwarts fraudulent access attempts using photos or videos, performs reliably in challenging lighting conditions, and ensures both rapid and secure identification. Once employees register their facial biometric data, simply passing through office access points automatically logs their attendance; the unlocking of access doors and the recording of attendance data occur simultaneously. This completely eliminates the cumbersome "make-up card" procedures and the time-consuming, error-prone manual data verification tasks that characterize traditional systems. Furthermore, the system supports granular access permission management, allowing administrators to configure access rights based on department, job rank, or specific zone—thereby effectively safeguarding sensitive areas such as finance offices and server rooms. The accompanying smart elevator control system enables precise, floor-specific access management. After scanning their faces, employees are granted access only to their authorized floors, thereby preventing unauthorized personnel from freely entering or exiting office levels. This solution is ideally suited for a wide range of environments, including high-end office towers and corporate headquarters. By consolidating elevator control with access and attendance management onto a single unified platform, the system streamlines the maintenance of personnel information, access permissions, and entry logs—significantly reducing operational and maintenance costs for enterprises.

With the continuous advancement of educational informatization in Kenya, more and more schools are focusing on the intelligent upgrading of campus security and personnel access management. Traditional methods such as manual registration, paper records, or simple door locks are gradually revealing many shortcomings in terms of access efficiency, visitor control, and data statistics. In response to this market trend, HFSecurity has launched an integrated facial recognition turnstile access control solution for Kenyan schools, which has been successfully deployed in primary and secondary schools and universities across the country. In Kenya, many schools still rely on manual security guards for access control. During peak school hours, large numbers of students enter and exit, making it difficult for security guards to verify the identities of each student, posing a security risk of unauthorized personnel entering the school. Visitor registration is mostly done by hand, resulting in incomplete and untraceable information, and visitor badges are easily forged or lent. Furthermore, boarding schools need separate control over dormitory buildings to prevent non-resident students or unauthorized personnel from entering. A comprehensive access control system that ensures campus security, improves access efficiency, and provides data traceability has become a pressing need for many school administrators. HFSecurity's solution for Kenyan schools uses facial recognition terminals and turnstiles as its core components. Students and staff pre-register their facial information, and upon entry or exit, they simply face the device for instant recognition, with the turnstile automatically unlocking. The entire process is contactless and requires no cards. The terminal employs a high-precision facial recognition algorithm, supporting stable recognition in various lighting conditions and effectively preventing forgery using photos or videos. Simultaneously, the device features liveness detection, ensuring only genuine individuals can pass through. The turnstiles utilize a mechanical rotating lever design, allowing only one person to pass at a time, effectively preventing tailgating and making it suitable for schools and other locations requiring strict access control. Parts of Kenya have a hot, dry climate, with dusty conditions during the dry season and heavy rainfall and high humidity during the rainy season. Designed to meet the specific environmental conditions of the local environment, the HFSecurity tripod turnstile is constructed of thickened stainless steel, offering excellent rust, dust, and corrosion resistance, and adapting to year-round climate changes. The internal circuitry is sealed to effectively prevent dust and moisture intrusion, ensuring stable operation even in harsh environments. Furthermore, the tripod turnstile's mechanical structure is reinforced to withstand frequent use and certain external impacts, making it particularly suitable for densely populated, high-frequency locations such as schools. The facial recognition terminal has wide-temperature operating capabilities, maintaining stable recognition performance even in high-temperature environments, ensuring uninterrupted operation throughout the year. Addressing the concentrated flow of people during peak school hours, the tripod turnstile can be configured with multiple parallel lanes according to the school's needs, fully open during peak periods and partially closed during off-peak periods, flexibly adjusting traffic capacity. Each lane can support dozens of people per minute; students can simply scan their faces to pass without waiting, effectively preventing congestion at the entrance. For new students or temporary visitors who have not yet registered their facial recognition, the school can register their identity information at the front desk, and staff will authorize temporary access. The system automatically records entry and exit times, and all data is traceable. HFSecurity's tripod turnstile access control solution supports multiple configuration options to suit different school site conditions and usage scenarios: Main school entrance: Multiple parallel tripod turnstiles are installed to meet the needs of large-scale student access. Dormitory entrance: Single-channel tripod turnstiles are installed to control the entry and exit of resident students and prevent non-resident students from entering. Library, laboratories, and other key areas: Independent tripod turnstiles are installed, allowing only authorized faculty and students to enter. The equipment supports various facial recognition terminal installation methods, including wall-mounted and column-mounted models. The recognition position can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation of the entrance and exit, ensuring that the recognition angle and height are suitable for students of different heights. In conjunction with the front-end access control equipment, HFSecurity's self-developed HFIMS security cloud platform provides school administrators with powerful back-end management tools. The platform covers modules such as personnel management, access records, visitor management, and data analysis, with core cloud services permanently free. Through HFIMS, school administrators can achieve: Personnel information management: Online completion of student and faculty facial recognition, permission activation, and status updates. Real-time Access Monitoring: View personnel entry and exit records at each entrance and exit to understand real-time campus pedestrian flow. Attendance Statistics: The system automatically generates reports on student arrival and departure times, facilitating communication between school and home. Visitor Management: Register visitor information, authorize temporary access permissions, record entry and exit times, and create electronic files. Anomaly Warning: The system automatically sends alerts for unauthorized entry, tailgating, and other abnormal behaviors. Unified Management Across Multiple Campuses: Education authorities or school groups can centrally view access data for each campus. At a large secondary school in Kenya, the deployment of the HFSecurity facial recognition turnstile access control solution has significantly improved campus access management efficiency. The school principal stated, "Previously, during peak hours, the school gate was often congested, and security guards had difficulty verifying the identity of each student. Now, students can enter and exit by facial recognition, which is faster, and parents feel more at ease." At a boarding school, a turnstile access control system has been deployed at the dormitory entrance, allowing only boarding students to enter by facial recognition. The school's dormitory supervisor pointed out, "Previously, non-resident students would often sneak into the dormitories, which was a huge headache to manage. Now, with the access control system, this problem has been completely solved." As Kenya's education informatization continues to develop, schools' demand for intelligent and secure campus access management will continue to grow. HFSecurity will continue to deepen its presence in the African market, helping Kenyan schools achieve a dual improvement in campus security and management efficiency with its cost-effective, stable, and durable facial recognition tripod turnstile access control solutions.

As Mexican companies deepen their digital transformation, more and more companies are focusing on intelligent office management. Traditional access cards and fingerprint attendance methods are gradually revealing shortcomings in terms of security, convenience, and hygiene. In response to this market trend, HFSecurity has launched an integrated facial recognition attendance and access control solution for Mexican companies, which has been successfully deployed in offices in Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, and other locations. In Mexico, many companies still use IC card access control systems or fingerprint attendance machines. IC cards suffer from common problems such as loss, duplication, and forgetting to bring them. Frequent card replacement requests by employees not only increase administrative costs but also pose security risks. Fingerprint attendance requires employees to directly contact the device, and some employees are concerned about the hygiene of public equipment; at the same time, employees in certain positions often experience unsatisfactory fingerprint recognition rates due to worn or dry fingers. In addition, businesses need to address complex needs such as visitor management, multi-floor access control, and employee attendance data statistics. A system that ensures secure access, achieves accurate attendance management, and is easy to use has become a pressing need for many business managers. HFSecurity's solution for its Mexican office uses a facial recognition access control terminal as its core device. After employees pre-register their facial information, they only need to face the device to complete the recognition instantly, and the access control automatically opens. The entire process is contactless and requires no cards or employee badges. This terminal uses a high-precision facial recognition algorithm, supporting stable recognition in different lighting conditions and effectively preventing forgery using photos or videos. Simultaneously, the device has a liveness detection function, ensuring that only real people can pass verification, significantly improving the office's security level. Another core advantage of this solution is the deep integration of attendance and access control. When employees enter the office via facial recognition, the system automatically records their attendance time, eliminating the need for separate clocking in/out. Managers can view employee entry and exit records and attendance status at any time through the backend, making it easy to identify abnormal situations such as lateness, early departure, and absenteeism. For companies with multi-story, multi-area offices, the system supports granular access control. Employees from different departments can enter designated areas based on authorization, while unauthorized personnel cannot enter sensitive areas (such as the finance department, server room, and executive offices), further enhancing internal security. Addressing the challenge of visitor management, the HFSecurity solution offers a convenient and efficient solution. Visitors can register their identity information at the front desk, and staff will then register their temporary facial recognition or issue a temporary QR code. Visitors can enter designated areas by scanning their face or QR code within a specified time. The system automatically records entry and exit times, and all data is traceable. This feature improves the visitor experience while ensuring the security of the office area. In conjunction with front-end access control and attendance devices, HFSecurity's self-developed HFIMS security cloud platform provides enterprise managers with powerful back-end management tools. The platform covers modules such as access control, attendance management, visitor management, and anomaly alarms, with core cloud services permanently free. Through HFIMS, managers can achieve: Hierarchical access control: Setting differentiated access permissions for employees of different departments and job levels. Real-time Monitoring: View personnel access records at each entrance and exit to track entry and exit dynamics. Remote Configuration: Adjust device parameters, update personnel information, and upgrade firmware without on-site visits. Attendance Reports: The system automatically generates visual attendance reports, supporting export to Excel or integration with enterprise payroll systems. Anomaly Alerts: The system automatically pushes alerts for abnormal behaviors such as entry/exit outside of working hours and consecutive absences. For network environments in parts of Mexico, the facial recognition access control terminal supports offline operation. When the network is interrupted, the device can continue to recognize and store access records locally, automatically synchronizing to the backend once the network is restored, ensuring no data loss. The device interface supports Spanish and English to meet the usage habits of local employees. As a manufacturer with over 20 years of experience in biometric device manufacturing, HFSecurity also provides customized services based on the specific needs of enterprise clients, including device appearance, software interface, and API integration with existing HR or OA systems. With the continued development of Mexico's digital economy, the demand for intelligent, contactless, and high-precision access control and attendance management tools will continue to grow. HFSecurity will continue to deepen its presence in the North American and Latin American markets, helping Mexican companies with their digital transformation through cost-effective, stable, and customizable facial recognition access control and attendance solutions.

Recently, the team from Chongqing Huifan Technology Co., Ltd. (international brand: HFSecurity), which is currently conducting customer visits in Ghana, visited several primary and secondary schools and universities in the country, focusing on the application of the company's palm vein recognition attendance terminals in school scenarios. With its core advantages of being contactless, highly accurate, and anti-cheating, the device has gained high recognition from schools, teachers, students, and parents, injecting new momentum into the construction of smart campuses in Ghana. In Ghana, most schools still rely on manual roll call or IC card swiping to manage student attendance. The drawbacks of these two models have long constrained the efficiency and security of campus management. Manual roll call is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially in large-scale schools, seriously encroaching on classroom teaching time; IC cards, on the other hand, suffer from problems such as unauthorized use, high costs of replacement for lost cards, and inconvenience in carrying them. Meanwhile, with the increasing demands for campus security, contactless management devices have become the preferred choice for schools. A solution that combines efficient attendance tracking, anti-cheating, and contactless operation has become an urgent need for schools in Ghana. During the visit, several schools that had already deployed HFSecurity palm vein attendance terminals demonstrated the efficient and convenient usage process. Students do not need to carry cards or mobile phones; they simply raise their hands above the device's sensing area, and the system completes identity verification and attendance recording within milliseconds, achieving zero-contact and seamless passage. During peak dismissal hours, students lined up orderly to pass through the attendance point. Raising their hands was all it took for recognition, and the device screen displayed their names and passage status in real time, ensuring a smooth and congestion-free process. A school official stated, "Since implementing palm vein attendance, proxy attendance has been completely eliminated. Students love this convenient method, and parents are more at ease." Palm vein recognition technology completes identity authentication by reading the unique distribution structure of subcutaneous veins in the palm. As an internal physiological characteristic of the human body, veins are extremely difficult to forge and can only be read by a living person, making its security level far superior to traditional identification methods. Compared to other technologies, its advantages are particularly prominent: unaffected by mask-wearing, lighting conditions, or facial angles, it avoids the limitations of facial recognition; unaffected by peeling skin, dampness, or dirt on fingers, it solves the pain points of fingerprint recognition. Even when students have sweaty hands after physical education classes, or when their palms are wet during the rainy season, the device can still recognize them stably with an extremely low false recognition rate, perfectly adapting to the complex usage scenarios of students. The HFSecurity team conducted in-depth exchanges with school administrators, front-line teachers, and student representatives, receiving unanimous praise. Schools reported that after deploying palm vein attendance, attendance statistics efficiency has significantly improved. Abnormal situations such as lateness, early departure, and absenteeism can be monitored in real time and synchronized with parents, achieving efficient home-school collaboration. One primary school principal remarked, "Previously, daily roll call consumed a lot of time; now, students are automatically recorded upon entering school, allowing teachers to focus on core teaching tasks." Students find the hand-raise recognition "convenient and cool," eliminating worries about forgetting or borrowing cards; parents are highly satisfied with the real-time attendance data push function, allowing them to know their children's arrival and departure status immediately. Beyond core attendance functions, the school and the HFSecurity team actively explored extended applications of palm vein technology, covering scenarios such as library access control, dormitory access management, and campus cafeteria payments. Several administrators expressed their desire to establish palm vein technology as a unified campus identity credential, enabling seamless access. HFSecurity responded that its existing solutions already support functional expansion and can be implemented in phases according to school needs, facilitating the intelligent upgrade of the entire campus. This visit to the Ghanaian campus is a key step in HFSecurity's deep cultivation of the African education landscape. Through on-site research and face-to-face communication, the team accurately grasped the actual needs and usage habits of local campuses, accumulating valuable experience for subsequent product optimization, technology iteration, and localization services.

Amidst the rapid expansion of Vietnam's warehousing and logistics industry, efficient management of large numbers of mobile personnel, prevention of attendance loopholes, and ensuring operational safety have become core concerns for operators. To address this need, Chongqing Huifan Technology Co., Ltd. (international brand "HFSecurity") has combined facial recognition attendance terminals with the HFIMS cloud management platform to provide Vietnamese warehouses with a comprehensive hardware and software personnel management solution, which has already been implemented in several local electronics manufacturing plants and logistics centers. Many warehouse managers have reported three unavoidable shortcomings in the early clocking-in or registration methods: Unreliable Identity Verification: Work cards and passwords can be lent, proxy clocking is rampant, and attendance statistics for temporary workers are particularly prone to errors. Efficiency and Hygiene Difficult to Balance: Queuing for clocking in slows down operations during peak hours, and touch-screen devices raise hygiene concerns in densely populated environments. The tracking of visitors is often unclear: Drivers and visitors rely on paper records for entry and exit, making post-event tracing difficult and preventing real-time blocking of blacklisted individuals. HFSecurity deploys wall-mounted and pillar-mounted facial recognition terminals, installed in key locations such as warehouse entrances, loading/unloading areas, and office areas. Employees stand facing the device, and the system quickly captures their faces, verifies their identity, and records entry and exit times—all without requiring them to stop or touch the device. Addressing the complex lighting and dusty environment of warehouses, the terminals are equipped with wide dynamic range cameras and infrared illumination, ensuring stable recognition even in backlight and low-light conditions. The casing is dustproof and moisture-proof, adapting to Vietnam's hot and humid climate. Liveness detection algorithms effectively filter forgery attacks using photos and videos, preventing proxy attendance at the source. Unlike traditional attendance machines that only record attendance times, the HFIMS cloud management platform handles more refined personnel management. Separate management of permanent and temporary employees: Supports batch import of temporary employee information, setting access permissions by hour or day, with automatic expiration upon expiration, eliminating the need for manual collection of employee cards. Temporary Visitor and Driver Authorization: External personnel can enter by pre-booking or registering on-site, with administrators setting valid time slots and facial recognition. All access records are stored in the backend. Real-time Blacklist Interception: If a former employee or unauthorized personnel attempts to enter, the system immediately refuses entry and issues an alert, effectively reducing the risk of warehouse theft. For companies with multiple warehouses, headquarters can view attendance reports for all locations through a single account, supporting separate attendance rules for Vietnamese statutory holidays (such as Lunar New Year and Hung Kings' Day). At an electronics manufacturing warehouse in Ho Chi Minh City, the HR manager stated after the system's implementation: "Previously, we spent a lot of time checking temporary workers' hours every day. Now, the system automatically generates reports by job type and shift, reducing end-of-month payroll calculation from a week to half a day." The operations manager of another logistics warehouse mentioned that drivers can enter via facial recognition with temporary authorization, eliminating the need for manual registration by security guards, and simultaneously preventing several former employees who had left the company from attempting to enter the warehouse. Currently, this solution covers multiple warehousing and production nodes within Vietnam, and can be deployed locally (data stored on the company's own servers) or in the cloud, depending on the company's needs. Customized Services: Matching the Specific Needs of the Vietnamese Market As a source factory, HFSecurity supports full-process OEM/ODM customization. For common needs of Vietnamese warehouses, we offer: Vietnamese language user interface, integration with mainstream local HR/payroll systems; Mobile attendance terminals for easy use in temporary warehouses or construction sites; Optional solar-powered auxiliary power supply to address unstable power conditions in some remote warehouses; Support for multiple languages ​​including Chinese, English, Vietnamese, and Korean, facilitating unified management for multinational companies.
