When a global food and beverage company needed a fast, reliable way to bring employees back on-site under a hybrid work model, Gorilla Technology delivered. We deployed a face-recognition thermal scanner to automate attendance and health checks in under two seconds per person.
Next, we unified speed gates, elevators, meeting-room booking, and desk reservations (all managed via QR-code authentication) into a single building-automation platform. Finally, we integrated power-management controls, so employees only draw electricity when and where they need it.
Together, these solutions fortified workplace safety, reduced energy consumption by 20%, and cut operating costs by 15%, all while giving staff a frictionless experience.
The Challenge
01
A Fragmented, High-Risk Workplace
- Multiple Entry Points: The company’s global offices featured separate security checkpoints, manual temperature logs, and paper-based desk bookings.
- Health & Safety Pressure: With COVID-19 protocols evolving daily, HR and facilities teams struggled to verify compliance in real time.
- Rising Energy Costs: Lights and HVAC systems ran on fixed schedules, inflating utility bills and maintenance overheads.
02
Urgency & Stakes
Without an integrated system, the company risked non-compliance with health regulations, lengthy queues at entry, and wasted energy, all of which would potentially cost hundreds of thousands annually and erode employee trust.
Our Solution
Automated Health Screening & Attendance
Gorilla Technology installed face-recognition thermal scanners at all entry points.
- Two-second scans for identity and temperature.
- Zero-touch logging, eliminating manual entry errors.
- Real-time alerts for out-of-threshold readings.
Seamless System Integration via QR Codes
We linked security gates, elevators, meeting rooms, and desk reservations under one platform.
- QR-code badges grant controlled access based on schedules.
- Dynamic elevator routing reduces wait times by 30%.
- Central dashboard gives administrators a live view of space usage.
Intelligent Energy Management
By pairing electricity meters with our QR-code system, we enabled pay-as-you-use power access.
- Automated shutdown of unused circuits after 10 minutes of inactivity.
- Analytics dashboard tracks consumption by floor and department.
