REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — The Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) announces that it is turning to Alcatraz AI, based here, to provide touchless, badgeless building access for all for all staff at their home, Banc of California Stadium.
Alcatraz’s facial authentication technology provides a frictionless access control experience that is more secure and hygienic, according to the announcement. The technology reduces touchpoints while streamlining building access protocols, and provides LAFC with a future-proof security solution.
As businesses begin resuming on-site operations, health and safety is top-of-mind. The announcement cites a recent survey that found two-thirds of employees have safety concerns as they return to on-site workplace participation, prompting business leaders to take steps to improve their holistic safety landscape.
“We are excited to work with the Alcatraz team to bring the future of security to all LAFC facilities,” explains Christian Lau, LAFC’s Chief Technology Officer. “We will be implementing the touch-less building/space access solutions for our personnel to automate contact tracing and real-time mitigation all in one device.”
LAFC is deploying Alcatraz AI’s facial authentication technology to replace or augment badges for physical security and access control. This technology will be implemented in all LAFC facilities, allowing the club to more successfully resume on-site operations after the recent pandemic. With touchless entry, operations leaders can account for access security while also accommodating new pandemic-inspired health and safety protocols.
“Touchless access using facial authentication increases building security and user convenience. In today’s operational reality, it also enhances health and safety measures by reducing touchpoints and enabling robust contact tracing programs,” said Tina D’Agostin, CEO of Alcatraz AI. “We are here to help companies secure physical spaces, helping them confidently resume on-site operations, and we are excited to support LAFC in their efforts,” she adds.
