Considerations Security & Access Control : Finnair Challenge ƒ Finnair was actively seeking a solution to help employees meet the challenge of increased passenger volumes on their day to day operations ƒ Finnair is currently using phone based check in/out solution where employees need to call a certain number to check in/out from the duty With this solution employees need to type in the personal identification number each time they arrive or leave from the work place The existing solution has had some technical challenges which has frustrated employees Solution ƒ The Solution is based on an RFID tag which holds the employees personal identification number ƒ The RFID reader is attached to an Intel based kiosk with a touch screen The employees operate the system by touching the buttons on the screen which eliminates the need for typing in any information to check in/out ƒ The RFID kiosk is communicating with an RFID server using WebServices The RFID server is running at the top of WebSphere Application server providing the scalability and availability required by the solution The RFID server is integrated with the existing RTC system where actual work optimization is performed Benefits 11 ƒFixed location based (RFID) check in/out operation ƒBecause the identification number is stored on the RFID tag employees can check in/out from the duty by just waving the tag near to the RFID reader without remembering and typing in the identification number ƒFast and easy to use ƒUsing the Kiosk the first Assignment can be delivered at the time the employee checks in ƒThe solution should also provide efficient information channel to employees checking in to the duty This allows employees to get the latest information of the situation on the airport right away when they
