Biometric Electronic Permit to Work Software
Biometriya SmartPass ePTW for verified permit control in high-risk operations
Biometriya SmartPass ePTW is biometric electronic permit to work software designed for high-risk environments where safety, compliance, and accountability depend on proving that the right worker is performing the right job at the right time in the right location. It connects digital permit validation with biometric identity verification so permit misuse, substitution, expired authorizations, and weak audit trails can be reduced before work begins.
Industry problem
Why ePTW needs stronger identity control
The presentation frames a very specific operational risk: permits may be approved, but the wrong worker still ends up performing the job. In high-risk environments, that gap can translate directly into safety incidents, compliance failures, and weak accountability.
- Permit misuse and substitution when the authorized person is not the one doing the work.
- Expired or invalid permits still being used in the field.
- Multiple subcontractors and large workforces increasing control complexity.
- Weak audit trails that make incident review and compliance reporting difficult.
Core concept
Face = who. Permit = what. System = where and when.
SmartPass ePTW is built around one simple but powerful operational model: verify the worker biometrically, validate the permit digitally, and enforce the decision in context.
- Face confirms WHO is standing at the checkpoint.
- The permit confirms WHAT task is authorized.
- The system confirms WHERE and WHEN the work can proceed.
- No identity means no work authorization for the task at hand.
Field workflow
How inspection works in the field
The deck describes a straightforward field workflow designed for fast decisions and low operational friction even in demanding environments.
Capture begins at the checkpoint using the mobile inspector workflow.
The system identifies the worker against enrolled profiles.
Authorized work and worker profile data are retrieved immediately.
Permit scope, location, timing, training, and compliance are checked.
The inspector receives a simple outcome they can act on fast.
Every result is captured for traceability and compliance review.
Simple field decisions with clear color logic
Green
Authorized and valid
Amber
Warning or conditional issue
Red
Unauthorized or not allowed
That fast decision model helps inspectors move from identification to action without relying on manual interpretation in the middle of a hazardous operation.
No compliance means no work
SmartPass ePTW is not only checking whether a permit exists. It is also designed to confirm whether the worker is actually ready and cleared to perform the task.
- Training validity
- Medical fitness
- PPE compliance
- Toolbox talk completion
- Supervisor approval
- LOTO and gas test status
Inspector app and capabilities
Built for rugged field use and fast inspections
The mobile inspector layer is a major part of the solution story. It is meant to work in the field, not only in a control room.
- Offline support for remote and connectivity-limited sites.
- Fast response for checkpoint decisions that cannot wait.
- Rugged devices for industrial and construction use.
- Multi-language interface for workforce diversity.
- Easy UI for faster adoption by inspectors and supervisors.
- Liveness detection, GPS logging, photo/video capture, and digital signatures for stronger field evidence.
Architecture and integration
Scalable architecture for cloud, on-premise, and multi-site deployment
The architecture slides describe a system that can run locally in the field while staying connected to a broader enterprise or project environment.
- Mobile app ↔ local cache ↔ backend for resilient field operation.
- Backend ↔ permit engine for centralized decision logic and permit validation.
- Cloud or on-premise models depending on site and policy requirements.
- Multi-site scalability for large projects and distributed operations.
- Integration options for HR/ERP, access control, ePTW systems, and CCTV systems.

Use cases
Where SmartPass ePTW fits best
The presentation focuses on tasks and operations where work authorization must be checked tightly before the job starts.
Traditional vs Biometriya
From manual permit checks to identity-linked control
| Area | Traditional Method | Biometriya SmartPass ePTW |
|---|---|---|
| Worker validation | Manual checks, weak identity assurance | Face-based verification |
| Permit control | Paper or loosely checked digital records | Permit linked to person, location, and time |
| Field decisions | Subjective and slower | Automated green / amber / red logic |
| Audit trail | Weak or incomplete | Full audit with evidence |
| Accountability | Harder to prove who did what | Stronger accountability and traceability |
Why choose SmartPass ePTW
Designed for safety, compliance, and workforce accountability
SmartPass ePTW is built for organizations that need digital permit control to work in real field conditions, not just in a central office. It helps connect safety procedures with verified workforce identity and inspection evidence.
- Reduce incidents by preventing unauthorized work from starting.
- Improve compliance with stronger prerequisite and permit validation.
- Reduce manual effort with faster field inspections and clearer decisions.
- Improve accountability through better audit evidence and traceability.
- Support ROI through fewer violations, lower downtime, and faster inspections.
