Biometric Electronic Permit to Work Software

Biometriya SmartPass ePTW for verified permit control in high-risk operations

Biometriya SmartPass ePTW is biometric electronic permit to work software designed for high-risk environments where safety, compliance, and accountability depend on proving that the right worker is performing the right job at the right time in the right location. It connects digital permit validation with biometric identity verification so permit misuse, substitution, expired authorizations, and weak audit trails can be reduced before work begins.

Why ePTW needs stronger identity control

The presentation frames a very specific operational risk: permits may be approved, but the wrong worker still ends up performing the job. In high-risk environments, that gap can translate directly into safety incidents, compliance failures, and weak accountability.

  • Permit misuse and substitution when the authorized person is not the one doing the work.
  • Expired or invalid permits still being used in the field.
  • Multiple subcontractors and large workforces increasing control complexity.
  • Weak audit trails that make incident review and compliance reporting difficult.
Wrong worker Permit approved, but executed by someone else
Permit misuse Substitution and manual loopholes weaken control
Expired authorization Old or invalid permits remain in circulation
Audit weakness Limited traceability after the work has started
Core concept

Face = who. Permit = what. System = where and when.

SmartPass ePTW is built around one simple but powerful operational model: verify the worker biometrically, validate the permit digitally, and enforce the decision in context.

  • Face confirms WHO is standing at the checkpoint.
  • The permit confirms WHAT task is authorized.
  • The system confirms WHERE and WHEN the work can proceed.
  • No identity means no work authorization for the task at hand.

Field workflow

How inspection works in the field

The deck describes a straightforward field workflow designed for fast decisions and low operational friction even in demanding environments.

1 Inspector scans face

Capture begins at the checkpoint using the mobile inspector workflow.

2 1:N identification

The system identifies the worker against enrolled profiles.

3 Fetch permits

Authorized work and worker profile data are retrieved immediately.

4 Check validity and prerequisites

Permit scope, location, timing, training, and compliance are checked.

5 Decision is returned

The inspector receives a simple outcome they can act on fast.

6 Action and audit log

Every result is captured for traceability and compliance review.

Decision engine

Simple field decisions with clear color logic

Green Authorized and valid
Amber Warning or conditional issue
Red Unauthorized or not allowed

That fast decision model helps inspectors move from identification to action without relying on manual interpretation in the middle of a hazardous operation.

Pre-requisite checks

No compliance means no work

SmartPass ePTW is not only checking whether a permit exists. It is also designed to confirm whether the worker is actually ready and cleared to perform the task.

  • Training validity
  • Medical fitness
  • PPE compliance
  • Toolbox talk completion
  • Supervisor approval
  • LOTO and gas test status
Inspector app and capabilities

Built for rugged field use and fast inspections

The mobile inspector layer is a major part of the solution story. It is meant to work in the field, not only in a control room.

  • Offline support for remote and connectivity-limited sites.
  • Fast response for checkpoint decisions that cannot wait.
  • Rugged devices for industrial and construction use.
  • Multi-language interface for workforce diversity.
  • Easy UI for faster adoption by inspectors and supervisors.
  • Liveness detection, GPS logging, photo/video capture, and digital signatures for stronger field evidence.

LivenessReduce spoofing risk during face verification
Evidence capturePhoto, video, and signatures for audit strength
Architecture and integration

Scalable architecture for cloud, on-premise, and multi-site deployment

The architecture slides describe a system that can run locally in the field while staying connected to a broader enterprise or project environment.

  • Mobile app ↔ local cache ↔ backend for resilient field operation.
  • Backend ↔ permit engine for centralized decision logic and permit validation.
  • Cloud or on-premise models depending on site and policy requirements.
  • Multi-site scalability for large projects and distributed operations.
  • Integration options for HR/ERP, access control, ePTW systems, and CCTV systems.
