SubscribeThe MAC (Modular Access Control) Portals by MSSI have quickly become an access control and time and attendance “staple” at Power, Petroleum and Chemical plants across North America as well as in Europe and the Middle East.
These "turnkey" access control points contain guardhouses, high security turnstiles, access control technology as well as, surveillance cameras, metal detection and explosive detection equipment (if site security requires that level of technology). It is basically a “plug-and-play” access gate that comes equipped with state of the art ID verification such as iris scanners, finger print readers, palm readers or simple proximity card readers.
The customer can pick what type and level of technology that they would like installed in their MAC before it ships. Rapidly deployable and "turnkey", the product was a natural fit for the post 9/11 environment where thousands of military base camps and job sites needed instant security.
Time and Attendance Systems
Many North American plants have contactor entry gates or contactor parking lots that are not equipped with turnstiles or needed access control in place at those plant entry points. The MAC portals are therefore in high demand with the US military, refineries, chemical plants and large construction sites around the world.
Although initially developed with site security in mind, the MAC portals are also being used for managing payroll when loaded with gate-to-paycheck software. Many industrial customers use the MAC when the plant is manning up for a large capitol or turnaround maintenance project and expect an increase in manpower for a limited amount of time.
MSSI has quickly developed an impressive list of customers such as Sunoco Petroleum, Sunoco Chemical, Citgo, Marathon Petroleum, Murphy Oil, the US Air Force, US 3rd Army, US Pentagon, Northrop Grumman, Jacobs Construction, Shaw Constructors, Haliburton, , Fluor Constructors, , Chicago Bridge & Iron, Air Products, TIC, Washington Group, and many others.
