As we enter a new decade, enterprises and institutions alike will increasingly embrace innovation in the physical access control domain. According to Prabhuraj Patil, Regional Sales Director, South Asia, PACS - HID Global,  the following trends will embrace the area - 

 
•    “Access control will become more valuable to users and less visible: The identity technology industry will combine biometrics technologies with machine-learning-based decision-making at the edge, mobile IDs, and new wireless location-service technologies like UWB to expand access control use cases while making them more intuitive and friction-free for users. 

 
•    Trusted Identities will enable smarter workplaces, factories and business processes: Marrying access control with mobile, cloud and IoT-based location- service technologies are expanding trusted identities’ role in today’s smart buildings, facilities and business processes, from creating more connected workplace experiences, to protecting retail brands from counterfeiting, to simplifying and securing Industry 4.0.”

  
There is also the opportunity to generate valuable insights from today’s access control solutions, using machine learning analytics to improve security, personalize the user experience and make better business decisions.  We are pursuing each of these opportunities and more with our growing portfolio.
