FingerTec Powered Up in the National Grid Corporation of Philippines
by Marlon Gomez, Calvelo Engineered Systems, Philippines.
 
A fully private corporation, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, also known as NGCP, won the franchise to operate and maintain the country’s transmission network in the biggest government auction conducted in efforts to reform the local power sector. As the system operator of the power grid, NGCP balances the demand and supply of electricity to serve efficiently all of its customers such as generators, private distribution utilities, electric cooperatives, etc.

The NGCP recently had built a new substation, or as referred to in the industry as a “remote site”. This remote site contains newly developed buildings to be used as offices and for facilities to manage and operate their substation. All the controls, communication equipment and security devices are to be located in this building.

 
Already having a branch installed with access control and time attendance systems in Singapore, the NGCP approached our partner Eurogel, who then consulted us, Calvelo Engineered Systems, requesting and requested for a similar product for NGCP's new building. After some inquiry, we found that the FingerTec R2 will be suitable for the company, as it is even more advanced than the one installed by their branch in Singapore.

The company also required that the terminals be HID card compatible and that it comes with a comprehensive time attendance and access control software. After sealing the project, Calvelo Engineered Systems installed 32 units of R2 in the new building of the NGCP. As the areas secured by the R2 is of high security, all the R2 units were set to receive 2-3 methods for verification depending on the priority of the secured area.

One of the R2's installed at the remote site.
 
And with the TCMS V2 software which allows extensive time attendance and access control customization and management, and also inter-branch centralization, a FingerTec system was just the solution for the NGCP.
