Biometric identity, zone-level access and shift attendance run from one connected platform, so every worker, contractor and delivery is verified, and every hour is recorded accurately.
The reality on site
Not abstract policy, but the practical requirements that plant, HR, and security teams work to.
Hundreds of people moving through a few entrances at shift change, without queues or missed clock-ins.
Temporary staff and maintenance contractors need fast onboarding and access that ends when their contract does.
Production lines, chemical stores and high-voltage areas need access limited to trained, authorised staff.
Prototype areas, tooling stores and finished stock need a clear record of who accessed what, and when.
Delivery vehicles and dispatch need controlling and logging separately from pedestrian access.
Health & safety, quality and payroll audits all expect accurate, retrievable attendance and access records.
The integrated solution
Manufacturing sites often run separate systems for site entry, zone access, time recording and payroll. Each keeps its own list of people, so a leaver, a new agency worker, or a shift change has to be updated in several places, and the records rarely line up when an audit asks for them.
Arana connects identity verification, zone permissions, vehicle control and time and attendance into a single platform. One enrolment covers every system, so changes apply everywhere at once, and the records reconcile without manual effort.
When access, attendance and payroll all draw on the same verified identity, hours worked and areas entered can be evidenced without cross-checking separate systems.

Why Arana
We’re a specialist integrator, not a call-centre-scale vendor. You deal directly with senior engineers from the first site survey onwards, and with a team that takes the time to understand how your organisation actually operates.
Speak with the engineer who set up your plant access, not a support queue starting from zero.
New lines, shift patterns and zone permissions are actioned in days, not a vendor’s quarterly release cycle.
Access built around your gates, production zones and shifts, not a generic plant template.
The team that installs your systems is the same team accountable when an auditor asks who was on the line.
Tell us about your site and workforce, and we’ll show you how one connected system handles access, attendance and vehicle control together.
