It is responsible for overseeing key sectors to support the country\u2019s economic, environmental, and social sustainability. The ministry aimed to implement a secure access control system at its headquarters in Dubai that would allow seamless entry for daily visitors while ensuring full protection against unauthorized access.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Challenges<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The access control area consisted of a large open space, which made managing multiple visitors arriving simultaneously challenging. Previous attempts with several facial recognition systems failed due to harsh outdoor conditions, including strong sunlight and rapidly changing lighting. MoEI needed a solution that could reliably operate under these real-world environmental conditions while providing secure and efficient access control.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image align_center\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/unionbiometrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/6_2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unionbiometrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/6_2.png 1140w, https:\/\/unionbiometrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/6_2-300x126.png 300w, https:\/\/unionbiometrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/6_2-1024x431.png 1024w, https:\/\/unionbiometrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/6_2-392x165.png 392w, https:\/\/unionbiometrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/6_2-50x21.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" title=\"\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2><strong>Solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>UBio-X Face Pro, equipped with fingerprint and QR code functionality, was deployed alongside speed gates to monitor and record all employee and visitor access transactions. A Visitor Management System was implemented, allowing visitors to register at self-service kiosks using their national ID, capture facial data, and gain automated entry and exit access. The system supports multiple authentication methods, including face recognition, PIN, card, QR code, and fingerprint, according to management-assigned access levels. Additionally, the backend Alpeta software was seamlessly integrated with MoEI\u2019s ERP system and internal government portal, enabling automated assignment of additional benefits and ensuring smooth system-wide operation.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Value Delivered<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This implementation delivered significant value by providing reliable performance under challenging environmental conditions, enhancing overall security with multi-modal authentication, and streamlining visitor management through automated registration. The seamless integration with existing systems enabled centralized monitoring and control of all access transactions, improving operational efficiency. Overall, UBio-X Face Pro provided a secure, flexible, and fully integrated access control solution tailored to the complex needs of a high-profile government organization.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1 us_custom_1f5f827b\" title=\"Blog\" href=\"\/en\/customerstory\/\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">List<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_right\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1 us_custom_1f5f827b\" title=\"Blog\" href=\"https:\/\/unionbiometrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/customerstories\/union-biometrics-uae-ministry-energy-infrastructure-face-pro-access-control.pdf\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Download<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"w-grid us_grid type_grid layout_blog_9 cols_3 overflow_hidden preload_style_spinner with_css_animation\" id=\"us_grid_1\" style=\"--columns:3;--gap:1.5rem;\" data-filterable=\"true\"><style>@media (max-width:1024px){#us_grid_1{--columns:2!important}}@media (max-width:600px){#us_grid_1{--columns:1!important}}.layout_blog_9 .w-grid-item-h{background:var(--color-content-bg);color:var(--color-content-heading);border-radius:0.3rem;box-shadow:0 0.03rem 0.06rem rgba(0,0,0,0.1),0 0.1rem 0.3rem rgba(0,0,0,0.1);transition-duration:0.3s}.no-touch .layout_blog_9 .w-grid-item-h:hover{box-shadow:0 0.12rem 0.24rem rgba(0,0,0,0.1),0 0.4rem 1.2rem rgba(0,0,0,0.15);z-index:4}.layout_blog_9 .usg_vwrapper_1{padding:5% 8% 8% 8%!important}.layout_blog_9 .usg_hwrapper_1{margin-bottom:0.2rem!important}.layout_blog_9 .usg_post_taxonomy_1{font-size:0.8rem!important;font-weight:700!important;text-transform:uppercase!important;margin-right:0.6rem!important}.layout_blog_9 .usg_post_date_1{color:var(--color-content-faded)!important;font-size:0.8rem!important;margin-bottom:0.3rem!important}.layout_blog_9 .usg_post_title_1{color:inherit!important;font-weight:700!important;font-size:1.4rem!important}@media (max-width:600px){.layout_blog_9 .usg_post_title_1{font-size:1.2rem!important}}<\/style><div class=\"w-grid-list\">\t<article class=\"w-grid-item us_animate_aft size_1x1 post-39624 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-customer-story category-customerstoryfeature tag-biometric tag-policy tag-solution\" data-id=\"39624\" style=\"animation-delay:0s\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"w-grid-item-h\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-post-elm post_image usg_post_image_1 stretched\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unionbiometrics.com\/en\/access-attendance-system\/\" aria-label=\"[Customer Stories] Building a Unified Access &#038;
