How Face Recognition Pre-Work Alcohol Detection System Works

Modern pre-job alcohol testing is no longer just "a machine measuring a value".The system that can truly enter the production process of the enterprise needs to answer five questions: who is testing, whether it is completed by me, whether the result is in line with the rules of the enterprise, whether it can enter the position, and how the data enters the existing business system and triggers disposal.

1. The complete system solves not the measurement, but the on-the-job safety closed loop

Independent alcohol detectors are able to output exhaled alcohol results, but it is difficult to automatically correlate employees, shifts, positions, and subsequent dispositions.For organizations such as buses, railways, mines, chemicals, manufacturing and construction, detection is often a link in the scheduling, attendance, pre-shift meetings, access control or departure process.

Therefore, the face recognition pre-job alcohol detection system needs to bind the living identity, personnel files, detection process, result determination, access control or attendance actions, and platform records to the same task.Only when the data can be returned to the enterprise business system can the management personnel confirm whether the person to be inspected has completed the detection, whether the abnormal person has been intercepted, and whether the subsequent retest and disposal are closed loop.

II. Six-step workflow of the system

01Read Detection TasksMatch the test items that should be completed this time according to the personnel, shift group, schedule, position and current time.
02Live Face CheckConfirm the identity of the on-site personnel and establish an association between this test and the company's employee files.
03Standardize expiratory samplingThe screen and voice prompt continue to blow, and the system judges the blowing duration, flow rate, and sampling status.
04Test and Result JudgmentThe alcohol module outputs the test results, and the equipment or platform is classified according to the rules set by the enterprise.
05Linkage on-site businessNormal personnel record attendance, open the door or enter the departure process; abnormal personnel enter the retest or restrict access.
06Upload & Alert Closed LoopPeople, results, equipment, time and disposal status synchronize the platform and notify the person in charge according to the rules.

III. GB/T 21254-2017 and product design basis

GB/T
21254—2017
乂点互联酒精检测系统以 GB/T 21254-2017 相关要求作为产品设计依据

The system is designed in accordance with the standard requirements in terms of breath sampling, detection module, result display and equipment workflow, and adds live face, attendance, access control linkage, network communication and management platform capabilities to the whole machine.

The national standard solves the technical and performance requirements that the testing equipment needs to meet, and the pre-service management of the enterprise also requires personnel identity, business rules, system interfaces and abnormal handling.Together, the two form a complete scheme from "trustworthy test results" to "manageable process execution".

“Designed to Standards” does not equate to automatic certification.The scope of application, inspection conclusions and supporting materials of different models shall be subject to the official specifications, test reports, certificates or project delivery documents of the product.If the procurement or bidding project requires specific supporting documents, it is recommended to clearly verify during the selection stage.

IV. What are the components of the system?

CompositionPrimary Role
Face Recognition TerminalLive ID, People Matching, Screen Interaction, Voice Prompts, and Live Result Feedback.
Alcohol Detection ModuleExhalation sampling and alcohol concentration testing completed and maintained, calibrated or replaced as required.
Optional detection modulePre-service status screening functions such as body temperature, blood pressure, and blood oxygen can be increased by product and project.
Access control, gate or attendancePerform check-in, release, restricted access, or manual review based on test results.
Device Management PlatformManage people, organizations, devices, rules, records, alerts, reports, and permissions.
Enterprise Business SystemsScheduling, attendance, OA, HR, EHS, vehicle scheduling, production management, or third-party business platforms.

V. Why has system docking become a necessary capability?

At present, most enterprises do not want to maintain a separate system from the business.Employee, organization, shift, and position information already exists in HR, scheduling, or production systems; there are also established processes for access control, attendance, departure, and safety incidents.If the alcohol testing equipment operates independently, it is necessary to repeatedly enter personnel, manually export records, and manually compare abnormalities, which not only increases the workload, but also easily generates data inconsistencies.

People and Organization SyncObtain employees, job numbers, shift groups, positions, statuses, and permissions from the enterprise platform to avoid multiple sets of personnel files.
Scheduling and inspection tasksGenerate an inspection list based on shifts, vehicles, items or positions, and judge normal detection, delayed detection and missed detection.
Results Return Business SystemWrite the test value, decision, time, equipment and site status back to the attendance, EHS or scheduling platform.
On-site access linkageNormally open the door, sign in or allow departure; in case of abnormality, interrupt the process and transfer to manual review.
Unified Early Warning DispositionException information flows into an enterprise's existing message, ticket, or security incident flow, rather than staying local to the device.
Group Data SupervisionHeadquarters centrally checks the execution rate and abnormal trends of different projects, fleets, mining areas, shifts and equipment.

VI. What scenarios are HTTP, TCP, and MQTT suitable for?

HTTP / APISuitable for personnel synchronization, recording queries, results return and platform business calls.Clear interface for easy integration with OA, HR, EHS and web platforms.
TCP Long ConnectionIt is suitable for real-time communication, status control and customized protocols between devices and LAN services, and is often used in access control, attendance or on-site control scenarios.
MQTT Cloud MiddlewareIt is suitable for a large number of distributed device access, status reporting, message subscription and remote instructions, and can support centralized management of cross-regional devices.

乂点互联支持设备与客户平台通过 HTTP、TCP 和 MQTT 云中间件方式对接。最终选择并非越多越好,而应根据企业网络、实时性、数据量、安全边界和现有平台架构确定。实际接口字段、鉴权、重试、幂等、加密及离线补传机制需要在项目联调阶段确认。

VII. Three common ways of platform cooperation

Cloud middleware unified accessConnect cross-regional devices via messaging, such as MQTT, and distribute standardized data to group or third-party platforms.

VIII. How does data early warning form a closed loop of management?

Rather than simply popping up an "alcohol abnormality", the alert connects the abnormality object, detection value, device, time, responsible person, and treatment result.The system can pay attention to both the abnormal test results and the people who should be tested but have not completed them.

Abnormal alcohol resultsAfter the test result triggers the abnormal rule set by the enterprise, you can restrict the check-in or release and send a notification to the responsible person.
Missing inspection by the person to be inspectedWhen the schedule is exceeded or the departure time is still not validly recorded, the platform generates a missed detection warning to avoid no one finding it.
Continuous sampling failureIneffective multiple blowing, equipment abnormalities or process interruptions are checked manually to prevent erroneous records from being considered detected.
Equipment offline and malfunctioningOperation and maintenance alarms for equipment offline, sensor status abnormal, or data not uploaded for a long time.

IX. How to reduce the risk of inspection, omission and data distortion?

  1. Identity is tied to the detection process:Live faces, personnel files, test results and device times are written to the same record.
  2. Anti-Generation Blowing Design:Optional anti-generation blowing function reduces the risk of blowing by other personnel after face examination.
  3. Task Driven:Inspection tasks are generated by schedules, shifts, or positions, rather than recording only those who proactively come to the inspection.
  4. Original Record Retention:Sampling failures, abnormalities, retesting, and final disposal leave marks, respectively, to avoid overwriting the first abnormal result.
  5. Interface anti-duplication:Use unique record identification, timestamping, retry, and idempotent mechanisms to prevent duplication or loss of data.
  6. Equipment Maintenance:Calibration, inspection and sensor maintenance according to product requirements to ensure long-term operating status.

X. How do different industries access business processes?

Bus, Rail & Logistics Driver

Obtain the person to be inspected from the scheduling or vehicle dispatching system, and complete the face and alcohol detection before departure.Check-in or entry into the departure process is allowed after normal; abnormal, late and missed checks are immediately notified to the fleet owner.

Mining, Energy & Chemicals

Configure testing tasks according to well entry, pre-shift meeting, key positions and different periods, associate with attendance, access control, EHS and personnel positioning system, and allow abnormal personnel to enter and retest or restrict access.

Industrial Manufacturing & Construction

Deploy terminals at fixed entrances or temporary booths and synchronize records to project management or labor systems in accordance with project, shift, contractor and high-risk post configuration testing rules.
