VIRDI × Saflec Systems
Biometric Technology. Seamlessly Connected.

Bringing biometric authentication into the Saflec access control ecosystem.

The VIRDI × Saflec Systems integration brings biometric authentication technology into the Saflec ecosystem, connecting VIRDI biometric readers with Saflec Systems controllers and the SACS Software Range. This provides organisations with a secure, reliable, and scalable approach to biometric access control while maintaining centralised system management.

The Technology

Biometric Authentication, Connected to SACS

VIRDI biometric readers provide organisations with a reliable method of identifying users through biometric credentials. Through integration with Saflec Systems, this technology becomes part of a complete access control environment rather than operating as a separate biometric solution.

01
Biometric
Fingerprint-based authentication provides an additional layer of identity verification for controlled access environments.
02
Integrated
VIRDI biometric readers communicate with Saflec Systems controllers as part of the wider access control infrastructure.
03
Centralised
Users, credentials, access permissions, and system activity can be managed through the SACS Software Range.
The Integration

From Biometric Identification to Access

The VIRDI integration connects the biometric reader, Saflec controller, and SACS software into one access control workflow. Each component performs a specific role while working together as part of the same system.

STEP 01
VIRDI Reader
The user's biometric or supported credential is captured and presented to the reader.
STEP 02
Saflec Controller
The credential is processed and the controller determines whether access should be granted.
STEP 03
SACS
User information, permissions, configuration, and access events are managed through the SACS ecosystem.
STEP 04
Access Point
The authorised access point is released and the transaction becomes part of the system record.
VIRDI Hardware

The VIRDI Range

Saflec Systems supports a range of VIRDI biometric terminals, providing flexible hardware options for different access control requirements. Each supported device can operate within the Saflec Systems ecosystem while offering its own combination of features, capacity, and communication options.

Software Integration

One Platform. Complete Control.

The integration extends beyond the physical reader. Through the SACS Software Range, VIRDI biometric technology becomes part of a centralised access control environment where users, credentials, permissions, and system activity can be managed together.

Users
Centralised management of users and access control profiles.
Biometrics
Manage biometric credentials and templates within the integrated environment.
Access
Configure access permissions and control how users interact with secured areas.
Monitoring
Monitor access activity and maintain visibility across connected access points.
The Advantage

Why Integrate VIRDI with Saflec?

Combining VIRDI biometric technology with Saflec Systems infrastructure gives organisations the benefits of biometric authentication while maintaining a unified access control environment.

01
Security
Biometric authentication provides an additional layer of identity verification, helping organisations strengthen control over secured areas.
02
Simplicity
VIRDI readers become part of the existing Saflec access control environment instead of requiring a separate biometric management system.
03
Flexibility
Multiple VIRDI reader options and Saflec controller configurations allow solutions to be designed around different installation requirements.
04
Scalability
The integration can support a range of environments, from individual access points through to larger access control deployments.
Applications

Where Can VIRDI Be Used?

The flexibility of the VIRDI and Saflec Systems integration makes biometric authentication suitable for a wide range of access control environments.

Corporate Offices
Secure employee access and strengthen identity verification at controlled entry points.
Industrial Facilities
Manage access to restricted areas and controlled environments using biometric authentication.
Commercial Buildings
Provide reliable authentication for employees and authorised users across commercial access points.
Multi-Site Environments
Extend biometric access control across multiple locations while maintaining centralised system management.
The Bigger Picture

Part of a Larger Access Control Ecosystem

VIRDI is another technology integrated into the wider Saflec Systems ecosystem. Rather than operating as a standalone biometric solution, VIRDI hardware works alongside Saflec Systems controllers and software to create a unified access control environment.

VIRDI
Biometric readers and user authentication.
Saflec Systems
Controllers and access control infrastructure.
SACS
Software management, configuration, monitoring, and reporting.
Biometric Access, Without the Complexity

The VIRDI × Saflec Systems integration brings biometric authentication together with the proven Saflec access control infrastructure. By connecting VIRDI readers, Saflec Systems controllers, and the SACS Software Range, organisations can introduce biometric technology while maintaining a unified and scalable approach to access control.
