Aberdeen company thrives even through pandemic
Aberdeen-based controls technology provider Proserv Controls has opened a new site in Glasgow, as well as abroad in Mussafah and Abu Dhabi.
The Cumbernauld service support site was set up in reaction to the company’s continued success even through the pandemic. It replaces a previous site in Coatbridge.
The site includes a testing laboratory, workshop and office provision. It houses Proserv’s in-house technical and design teams with their system modification and upgrade specialisms.
Michael Purkiss, Proserv’s vice president, services said: “Both service centres of excellence in Abu Dhabi and Cumbernauld offer dedicated, larger spaces to support our clients’ needs.
“We made our commitment to these facilities before the pandemic arrived, and our team has skilfully harnessed their dynamic designs to make them safe and entirely fit for purpose within the current requirement for socially distanced work environments, with reduced physical contact.
“Both locations provide dedicated factory acceptance testing studios, which currently also have the flexibility to carry these out remotely for our customers, via live video conferencing links. “Similarly, once life returns to normal, these new sites will then transition very smoothly back to their original plans.
“But, moreover, they give us the necessary scale and size to ramp up our expanding activities and enhance our efficiencies even further.”
Proserv’s Cumbernauld general manager James Holt said: “Our team has 30 years’ experience specialising in developing fiscal and custody transfer metering systems.
“Our newly opened space gives us the extra capacity to improve our workflows and deliver the high-quality products we are known for.
“Our facility is also currently set up to deal effectively with the present health situation, and we have allocated dedicated offices for any visiting customers to reduce physical contact and retain social distancing.”
Building your new premises from scratch is the perfect opportunity to install a new time and attendance system, since it enables you to control the wiring and the placements of doors and other useful factors.
Time and Attendance Scotland offers a contactless smartcard and biometric clocking terminal with clocking options ranging from smartcard only right up to 3 factor authentication of smartcard, PIN and biometrics. This hardware registers staff entrances and exits as they present their identification, and delivers the information to the central software in real-time. It is a quick and user-friendly process.
Our Biometric Fingerprint Reader is designed to give absolute peace of mind that the correct person was present when scanning. Once registered on the fingerprint scanner, the image of the patterns usually found on the fingertip is converted into a code through a secure algorithm, which is then stored on the time and attendance system database for future comparison and authentication.
For a truly secure and contactless access control and attendance option, we can also offer our facial recognition units. Featuring patented optic engineering, this option achieves up to 25,000 lx of operating illuminance.
FaceLite includes the latest optical technology and a Live Face Detection (LFD) feature. It perfectly blocks spoofing using photograph or 3D printed mask. Packed in a compact and an ergonomically-designed structure, FaceLite provides exceptional performance and usability.
