GENETEC has released a free contagion proximity report for its Synergis access control and automation solution.

A few days ago, McCormick Place, the largest convention center in the US, reached out to Genetec with an idea: the security team wanted to be able to use their existing access control system data to help identify if any employees or badged visitors had been in close physical contact with someone who had recently reported a positive diagnosis for a contagious disease, so they could be informed and could take the necessary steps.

Genetec said software engineers were able quickly develop a ‘Contagion/Contaminant Proximity Report’ function for Synergis, which the company is now making it available to all its customers, free of charge.
