Honeywell's Sine platform has enhanced visitor and contractor verification with the introduction of Advanced ID Check for SinePoint Pro iPad kiosks. This new feature seamlessly integrates identity verification into the check-in process, eliminating the need for manual document checks or separate workflows. The Advanced ID Check allows for rapid identity confirmation and compliance record creation, expediting visitor processing while ensuring reliable audit trails before any individual enters a site.
“Organisations 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, Sine by Honeywell.
Embedding identity verification
The system operates by prompting visitors to scan a government-issued ID, such as passports or driving licenses, at the SinePoint Pro iPad kiosk. The platform then quickly verifies document authenticity, checks expiry dates, and matches the ID photo with the visitor's captured image. This verification is automatically appended to each visitor pass and the activity feed, ensuring thorough documentation before site entry.
For visitors, this process offers a streamlined and efficient check-in, while organisations benefit from consistent, standardised verification across all locations. The automated method removes reliance on staff to detect expired documents or discrepancies during check-in.
Configurable site behaviour
Every ID check generates a timestamped compliance record, providing ready evidence
Every ID check generates a timestamped compliance record, providing ready evidence of visitor clearance during audits or incident reviews. Organisations can tailor verification requirements by visitor type, allowing for stringent controls over higher-risk categories or contractor access. Discrepancies are flagged, and check-ins can be held for manual approval based on the site's specific risk profile, giving security teams oversight without hindering routine visitor flow. Importantly, only essential data is stored, with no retention of document images, numbers, or dates of birth.
Chuck O’Leary added, “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
This advanced verification technology is well-suited for industries where compliance or safety mandates identity checks, such as manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and critical infrastructure. Advanced ID Check utilises document authentication to assess ID validity through security features, text consistency, and image quality checks before approval. Face matching further ensures the individual matches their ID photograph, and expiration validation catches outdated documents without requiring manual oversight.
Powered by Regula Forensics, used globally by organisations and border control authorities across 250 countries and territories, this system delivers a robust solution for enterprise-level identity verification.
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 organisations have the audit trail they need before anyone sets foot on site.
“Organisations 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 organisation, it’s consistent, standardised 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 behaviour
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 organisations across 250 countries and territories, including border control authorities in certain countries.
