The eSSL AiFace - Mars terminal (SKU: KTI01002003AFMR) is an industrial-grade visible light facial recognition and RFID terminal engineered for high-throughput time and attendance tracking and secure access control. Operating on an embedded Linux platform powered by a 900 MHz Dual Core processor, 512 MB RAM, and 8 GB ROM, the device provides rapid biometric verification for commercial, manufacturing, and institutional facilities.
Equipped with an onboard 2MP WDR low-light camera, adjustable brightness LEDs, and the Face VX5.8 biometrics algorithm, the terminal delivers verification speeds of 1 second or less at distances up to 2 meters with an extra-wide pose acceptance angle of +/- 30 degrees. Below are the primary deployment scenarios and operational use cases for this terminal.
Workforce Time and Attendance in Manufacturing and Industrial Plants
In manufacturing environments, industrial plants, and processing units, workforce ingress and egress occur in dense shift transitions. The AiFace - Mars accommodates up to 3,000 face templates, 3,000 RFID cards (125 kHz EM standard), and maintains an internal offline buffer of up to 150,000 transaction records. Non-contact visible light facial recognition prevents bottlenecking at worker entry gates, allowing personnel to authenticate quickly without physical touch, preserving operational hygiene across heavy-traffic plant floors. The terminal functions reliably across operating temperatures between -10 °C and 45 °C and humidity levels between 10% and 90% non-condensing.
Automated Turnstile and Speed Gate Ingress
The compact vertical footprint of the terminal (measuring 91.93 mm wide by 202.93 mm high by 21.5 mm deep) makes it directly mountable onto architectural turnstiles, speed gates, and pedestrian barrier lanes in commercial lobbies and transportation hubs. Utilizing Wiegand input/output protocols or onboard auxiliary relay switching, the AiFace - Mars triggers barrier opening mechanisms within 1 second of positive recognition. The 2MP WDR camera compensates for variable indoor illumination, handling background contrast near glass vestibules and entrance lobbies using its adjustable-brightness LED array.
High-Security Door Control and Restricted Zone Protection
For data rooms, R&D labs, and secure administrative vaults, the unit functions as a standalone access controller. It wires directly to third-party electric locks, door position sensors, exit request buttons, and external alarm sounders. Physical security is reinforced by an integrated hardware tamper switch alarm that detects unauthorized detachment from the wall mount. The terminal includes anti-spoofing algorithms that validate live physical presence, actively blocking credential bypass attempts using printed photos (laser, color, or black and white), digital video playbacks, and 3D mask replicas.
Multi-Branch Enterprise Synchronization via ADMS
Organizations operating multiple branch offices or distributed logistics warehouses can network several AiFace - Mars devices using standard TCP/IP Ethernet or RS485 connections, with optional Wi-Fi support. The terminal incorporates native ADMS (Automatic Data Master Server) protocol functionality, allowing field devices to push transactional time-stamp logs directly to centralized eTimeTracklite software servers over wide-area networks without requiring local client installations at each gate.
