The Problem

Why Cards and Basic Readers Aren’t Enough

A credential that can be lent, copied or faked tells you what was presented, not who is actually standing at the door.

Shared and cloned cards

Access cards and fobs are routinely passed between staff or duplicated, and there’s no way to know who actually used them.

Forgotten or shared PINs

PINs get written down, shared over group chats, or forgotten, each a route around your controls.

Tailgating and buddy-punching

Credential-based systems can’t confirm the presence of the actual authorised person at the point of entry.

Weak audit trails

“Card 204 badged in” isn’t proof of identity; regulators and auditors increasingly expect more.

Ongoing credential costs

Replacing lost cards and reissuing fobs is a continuous, avoidable administrative cost.

High-security zones

Server rooms, labs, vaults and clinical areas need a stronger standard of proof than “something you carry.”

The integrated solution

One Platform, Three Easy Steps to Access

Different sites need different modalities. Arana deploys facial, fingerprint and iris recognition, individually or combined, from the same underlying BioWave platform, so you’re never locked into a single sensor type.

Every match is processed against an encrypted biometric template, never a raw image, and matched in real time against your permissions database.

The right biometric modality depends on your environment, throughput, hygiene requirements and lighting; all matter more than the marketing spec sheet.

In practice

How Biometric Access Is Deployed in Real Environments

Matched to the risk and throughput of the site, not a single default configuration.

High-Throughput Facility Entrances

Hundreds of staff move through a few entrances during shift changes, with no room to queue.

Facial Recognition

Speed Gates

Centralised Reporting

Outcome: Sub-second, touchless entry with zero buddy-punching

Restricted Labs & Data Centres

Small, high-value zones where only a named, verified individual should ever be able to gain entry.

Face Recognition

Single-Door Control

Full Audit Trail

Outcome: Highest-assurance verification for critical assets

Clinical & Care Environments

Hygiene-sensitive settings where shared card readers and PIN pads are themselves a risk.

Fingerprint Recognition

Compliance Reporting

Restricted Area Control

Outcome: Hygienic, contactless access with a defensible audit trail

Why Arana

Big Business Standards. Small Business Attention.

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.

Direct access

Speak with the engineer who installed your readers, not a support queue starting from zero.

Fast to move

New doors, shift rules or payment points are switched on in days, not a vendor’s quarterly release cycle.

Tailored, not templated

One reader configured for exactly what you need it to do: access, attendance, payments, or all three.

Accountable, end to end​

The team that installs your Bio X readers is the same team accountable for how they perform day to day.

Ready to Stop Chasing Timesheets?

We’ll show you what your existing access hardware can already do for payroll — often with nothing new to install.
