The Port Authority of Las Palmas has approved a 1.5 million euro investment to implement a new access control system, aiming to centralize authorization management and optimize security at its facilities.

This initiative, which includes software acquisition and equipment maintenance, received approval from the entity's Board of Directors. The primary goal is to modernize the existing infrastructure and ensure compliance with European security regulations.
The new logical system will enable centralized management of entry authorizations, improving the operation of physical devices and ensuring complete traceability of all operations. Furthermore, continuous system supervision is planned, with detailed monitoring of tasks and maneuvers both globally and individually per device.
The contract also covers the comprehensive maintenance of all control equipment, such as barriers, traffic lights, cameras, readers, and sensors. This maintenance will include both preventive actions to avoid failures and corrective measures to resolve incidents and breakdowns.
Finally, the tender aims to adapt, renew, and expand the facilities. This involves replacing totems at all access control points with a single, updated model, as well as improving incomplete points and fine-tuning the video surveillance system. Progressive equipment renewals and the incorporation of new devices are anticipated based on future needs.
