Transforming Security with Visitor Management System (VMS) and Handheld NFC Scanner

In today’s fast-paced industrial environments, seamless and secure access control is more than a necessity—it’s the foundation of operational excellence. When PT Freeport Indonesia’s smelter in Gresik faced challenges in maintaining a high standard of security due to limited infrastructure, SOLU stepped in to turn obstacles into opportunities. This is the story of how innovative technology and tailored solutions reshaped their approach to access management.

CHALLENGE

PT Freeport Indonesia’s smelter operates in the bustling industrial zone of Gresik. Despite its critical role in Indonesia’s mining sector, the facility faced significant hurdles in managing personnel movements. Restricted access to reliable electricity and computer networks rendered traditional access control gates impractical.

Adding to the complexity, G4S security personnel struggled with manual tracking methods to log employee and visitor entries and exits. This not only created inefficiencies but also left room for inaccuracies, putting the safety and operational discipline of the facility at risk. The question arose: how could they modernize security without overhauling the entire infrastructure?

SOLUTION

Smarter Security with VMS and Handheld NFC Technology
Recognizing the need for a practical yet powerful solution, SOLU introduced an integrated Visitor Management System (VMS) coupled with handheld NFC scanners. Here’s how it worked:

1. Visitor Management System (VMS)
This system streamlined the registration process for employees and visitors, providing a centralized digital record of everyone entering and leaving the premises. With an intuitive interface and robust data management, the VMS became the cornerstone of access control.
2. Handheld NFC Scanners
Replacing the need for physical access control gates, handheld devices equipped with NFC technology enabled security personnel to verify identities and log movements in real-time. Portable and efficient, these scanners proved to be a game-changer in environments with limited infrastructure.

Together, these solutions empowered security teams to overcome logistical challenges while ensuring seamless and accurate monitoring of personnel movements.

RESULT

Enhanced Security, Elevated Efficiency
The implementation of SOLU’s VMS and handheld NFC scanners delivered remarkable outcomes:

• Elevated Security Standards
With detailed logs of employee and visitor movements, the facility’s security was significantly improved, leaving no room for oversight.
• Optimized Workflow
Security personnel experienced enhanced efficiency, with faster and more accurate recording processes that reduced administrative burdens.
• Boosted Operational Discipline
With better oversight of staff movements, the system reinforced workplace discipline and accountability, driving a culture of responsibility.

By adopting SOLU’s innovative solution, PT Freeport Indonesia turned a challenging situation into a showcase of modern security management. The success of this project highlights how tailored technology can revolutionize operations even in resource-constrained environments.
