Sine, part of Honeywell’s suite of visitor and contractor management solutions, has rolled out an innovative feature known as Advanced ID Check for their SinePoint Pro iPad kiosks. This development integrates identity verification directly into the enterprise check-in process, eliminating the need for manual checks or additional verification workflows. By doing so, it not only accelerates visitor processing but also ensures comprehensive compliance documentation is in place before site entry.
"Organizations with serious compliance obligations can’t afford gaps between who they think is on site and who actually is. Advanced ID Check helps close that gap automatically, at the moment it matters — giving teams the audit trail they need without slowing anyone down," stated Chuck O’Leary, General Manager of Sine by Honeywell.
Embedding Identity Verification
Upon arriving, visitors initiate check-in via the SinePoint Pro iPad kiosk by scanning a government-issued ID. This process encompasses verifying document authenticity, checking expiration dates, and matching the ID photo with the visitor’s image. Results are appended to each visitor's pass and recorded in an activity feed. This systematic approach provides full documentation of identity verification before site entry, streamlining the arrival process while delivering consistent verification and audit trails across various locations.
Configurable Site Behavior
Every ID check is recorded with a timestamp, capturing a compliance record from check-in
Every ID check is recorded with a timestamp, capturing a compliance record from check-in. When audits or incident reviews are necessary, this record furnishes immediate evidence of site visits and clearance protocols. Enterprises can customize verification requirements based on visitor categories, enforcing stricter controls for high-risk groups or contractors. Advanced ID Check can highlight discrepancies or suspend check-ins for manual approval aligned with the site's risk profile, granting security teams control without disrupting standard procedures. Importantly, only essential data fields are stored, with no document images or sensitive numbers retained.
Chuck O'Leary further commented, "This removes a significant operational burden — reducing manual document checks, reducing the risk of human error, and having the ability to apply controls to specific visitor types adds an important layer of verification for sites and the people on them."
Regulated Access Requirements
Advanced ID Check is tailored for enterprise settings where robust identity verification is mandated by compliance or safety standards, applicable in sectors like manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and other regulated environments. The feature utilizes document authentication mechanisms to validate security features, ensure text consistency, and assess image quality for authenticity. Additionally, face matching technology verifies that the visitor's image aligns with the document photo to confirm identity before access is granted, and expired documents are flagged automatically.
The technology behind this system is powered by Regula Forensics, a reliable identity verification platform trusted by entities in over 250 countries and territories, including specific border control authorities, ensuring a global standard of security and compliance.
Sine, Honeywell’s visitor and contractor platform, has introduced Advanced ID Check for SinePoint Pro iPad kiosks, embedding identity verification directly into the enterprise check-in process. Rather than relying on manual document checks or separate verification workflows, Advanced ID Check helps validate identity and creates compliance records in seconds – so visitors move through faster, and organizations have the audit trail they need before anyone sets foot on site.
“Organizations with serious compliance obligations can’t afford gaps between who they think is on site and who actually is. Advanced ID Check helps close that gap automatically, at the moment it matters – giving teams the audit trail they need without slowing anyone down,” said Chuck O’Leary, General Manager, Sine by Honeywell.
Embedding identity verification
When a visitor begins check-in on the SinePoint Pro iPad kiosk, they scan a government-issued ID - passport, driver’s licence, or national ID card. Within seconds, Sine checks document authenticity indicators, checks expiry status, and matches the document photo to the visitor’s captured image. Verification results are automatically attached to each visitor pass and activity feed, so identity verification is fully documented before the visitor sets foot on site.
For visitors, it’s a faster, more streamlined arrival. For the organization, it’s consistent, standardized verification and audit trail across every site – no longer dependent on a staff member catching an expired document or spotting an inconsistency under pressure or time constraints.
Configurable site behavior
Every ID check creates a timestamped compliance record from the moment the visitor checks in. When an audit or incident review demands evidence of who was on site and how they were cleared, that record is already there – designed to be consistent, and requiring minimal effort to produce.
Configurable site behaviour allows enterprises to set verification requirements by visitor type, applying stricter controls to contractors or high-risk categories. Advanced ID Check flags discrepancies or hold check-ins for manual approval based on the site’s risk profile, giving security and admin teams control without adding friction for standard visits. The data model stores only essential fields, with no document images, document numbers, or date of birth retained.
“This removes a significant operational burden - reducing manual document checks, reducing the risk of human error, and having the ability to apply controls to specific visitor types adds an important layer of verification for sites and the people on them,” added Chuck.
Regulated access requirements
Advanced ID Check is suited to enterprise environments where identity verification is a compliance requirement or safety imperative – including manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, construction, critical infrastructure, and facilities with regulated access requirements.
Under the hood, Advanced ID Check includes document authentication, which validates security features, text consistency, and image quality to assess whether an ID appears genuine before check-in is approved. Face match compares the document photo to the visitor’s captured image, helping confirm the person at the door matches their presented ID. Expiry validation automatically flags expired documents before check-in proceeds, without requiring a staff member to spot it.
The technology is powered by Regula Forensics, an identity verification platform used by organizations across 250 countries and territories, including border control authorities in certain countries.
