"Efficiency, Convenience, and Security All Achieved"... Spotlight on Contactless Security Services

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwak Minjae] We are truly in the 'contactless' era. Since COVID-19, contactless living has become a daily routine, and various industries are continuously introducing contactless and non-face-to-face services. In particular, security companies are targeting consumers by offering contactless security services that combine efficiency, convenience, and security in spaces used by many people, such as apartments, large cultural facilities, and stores.

According to the industry on the 25th, a security algorithm applied to blockchain technology is being increasingly implemented in apartment entrance door management solutions. Chamkkae Research Institute introduced a ‘shared entrance door management solution’ through its digital key platform ‘KEYRING,’ which allows authenticated users to remotely control entrance doors with a single mobile app without any physical contact. KEYRING’s shared entrance door management solution is characterized by providing a convenient access experience through the simple installation of a small device at the shared entrance.

KEYRING explained that it replaces the use of traditional plastic cards and enables fast and convenient access without physical contact, such as pressing a password. It also enhances security by allowing only authenticated individuals to enter, as verified by the administrator.

An all-in-one service combining security and quarantine solutions has also emerged. Samsung Group’s security company S-1 introduced a comprehensive security and quarantine total service solution for large-scale sports and performance facilities. This solution consists of a ‘biometric-based facial recognition solution’ for infectious disease prevention, an ‘AI-based fever detection solution,’ and an ‘ICT-based advanced security solution’ for enhanced security. The biometric-based facial recognition solution serves as a quarantine solution for facility managers. It grants users zone-specific access rights through contactless facial recognition, facilitating the separation of movement paths between infection control managers and general visitors.

The AI-based fever detection solution uses heat scan technology to detect fever contactlessly at facility entrances, allowing simultaneous verification of mask-wearing and fever status of entrants. Additionally, the ICT-based advanced security solution installs emergency call systems linked to CCTV in high-risk or blind spot areas. Pressing a button automatically transmits the location of the signal and the corresponding video feed to the control room screen, strengthening security and enabling rapid response.

Contactless store management solutions for unmanned stores are also gaining popularity. Suprema, a company specializing in biometric recognition and access security, introduced an ‘unmanned store access authentication solution’ that supports 24-hour safe unmanned store operations, reduces operational personnel, and facilitates store management via a mobile app. This solution not only allows real-time monitoring of unmanned store usage through the mobile app but also enables customer tracking in case of theft or damage incidents, making customer management easier. Furthermore, it allows remote and convenient setting of door opening and closing times at any time, making it suitable for hybrid stores operated in both unmanned and manned formats.
