Innovation in access management and personnel registration

The Port of Gijón continues to lead modernisation with the implementation of advanced solutions that optimise access management and comply with labour regulations that will come into force this year. These initiatives are designed to improve the visitor experience and strengthen internal staff management.

Visitor access control: Seamless technology

In the area of access control, we have implemented an advanced system powered by Genetec technology, which allows secure and autonomous entry for visitors without the need for physical cards. This transformation has revolutionized the entry process, making it faster and more efficient.

Visitors can easily manage their access through web and mobile platforms, providing a modern and convenient experience. For those who prefer a physical interaction, a customized totem has been installed, designed to be intuitive and accessible. This device enables quick and autonomous access, catering to the diverse needs of users.

Additionally, the system includes an automated email confirmation process, ensuring that visitors receive all the necessary information before their arrival. With this innovation, the Port of Gijón reinforces its commitment to sustainability by eliminating physical resources like cards, while leading the digitalization of processes in port infrastructure.

Employee time tracking system: Compliance with 2025 regulations

In parallel, we have developed an advanced clocking-in system for employees, designed to comply with Spanish labour regulations that will require time recording from this year onwards. This system marks a significant advance in internal personnel management, allowing for more accurate and efficient control.

The system features an interactive screen connected to a card reader, enabling employees to log entries, exits, breaks, and other operational statuses, such as breakfast or travel time. The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring ease of use and minimizing human errors.

All data is recorded automatically, ensuring complete traceability, compliance with regulations, and easier internal control. This system not only optimizes operational efficiency but also strengthens security and accuracy in managing work schedules and employee activities.

A vision for the future

With these solutions, the Port of Gijón positions itself as a leader in technological transformation and adaptation to new regulations. While the card-free access system offers a seamless and modern experience for visitors, the time tracking system ensures efficient internal management and compliance with labor laws.

These initiatives reflect the port's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and digitalization, setting an example for other port infrastructures in Spain and across Europe.
