Critical Infrastructure

Proof of physical presence at the sites that keep society running.

Remote sites cannot tell a credential
from its holder.

Substations, pumping stations and network sites are often unstaffed. Keys, cards and codes circulate among crews and contractors, and a single wrong intervention can cut service to thousands of people.

Substations & Remote Sites

Admit authorized crews who are physically present, even where no one is on site to check.

Field Crews & Contractors

Show that the assigned technician was on site for every maintenance window.

Secure Physical Access Time & Attendance Management In-Person Authorization

Control Room Operations

Require an authorized operator, physically present, before high-consequence commands run, whether a person or an AI agent issues them.

Where METAiD Applies

Seven control points across sites and operations, the gap each one leaves open today, and the solutions that close it.

Scenario	The gap today	METAiD solutions
Site Perimeter & Gates	Keys and cards shared among crews cannot show that the authorized holder is the one entering.	Secure Physical Access AI-Resistant Physical Verification Access Control Management
Substation & Equipment Shelter	Unstaffed sites have no one on hand to confirm that the person entering is the authorized holder.	Secure Physical Access AI-Resistant Physical Verification Access Control Management
Water & Pumping Stations	Physical intervention can affect public safety immediately, yet a code or key does not prove an authorized person was present.	Secure Physical Access In-Person Authorization Access Control Management
Telecom & Network Sites	Distributed sites rely on credentials issued to many vendors, with little evidence that the authorized holder was the one at the door.	Secure Physical Access Time & Attendance Management Access Control Management
Contractor Maintenance	Time-limited credentials cannot show they were used by the person they were issued to.	Secure Physical Access Time & Attendance Management Access Control Management
Control Room	High-consequence commands need an accountable record that an authorized operator was physically present.	In-Person Authorization Secure Physical Access Access Control Management
Automated & AI-Agent Actions	Automated and agent-driven actions execute in seconds. High-consequence steps need independent evidence that an authorized human was physically present to approve them.	In-Person Authorization AI Agent Authorization AI-Resistant Physical Verification

Built for how operators already run their sites.

Keeps your access control system

METAiD readers connect to existing access control panels over Wiegand or OSDP. No rip-and-replace of the systems your security team already operates.

No color camera on site

Depth sensing only, with no RGB sensor by design. No photographic images of crews, equipment or screens are captured.

Records for compliance and incident review

Every verified entry and authorization is recorded in IAMS and available to your own systems through the Enterprise API.

Bring physical presence to every critical site.
