Brandix, Sri Lanka’s largest apparel exporter, needed a faster, more secure, and user-friendly solution for staff access and attendance across its factory sites. Their existing card- and fingerprint-based systems faced misuse, wear-and-tear, and inefficiencies at entry points. Additionally, they required integration with their internal HR system for centralised attendance tracking and personnel validation.

Office Network (Pvt) Ltd, in partnership with Hikvision, deployed a fully integrated facial recognition barrier system across 15 entry channels at Brandix’s manufacturing facilities. Featuring swing barriers with facial recognition terminals, real-time verification, anti-tailgating, and HikCentral management software integrated with Brandix’s HR platform, the solution supports 10,000 face profiles and delivers rapid recognition in under 0.5 seconds, providing a secure, touch-free access experience even in demanding factory environments.

The new system significantly reduced fraudulent attendance, increased throughput efficiency at staff entry points, and enhanced overall security. Brandix has expressed interest in expanding the solution to more factory sites, highlighting its adaptability, stability, and seamless integration as key benefits.

Exclusive Lines, a leading luxury beauty and cosmetics brand, aimed to modernise its in-store experience at flagship outlets in Colombo City Centre and One Galle Face. Facing increasing customer traffic and a growing product range, they required a centralised, intelligent retail surveillance system to enhance customer safety, streamline staff workflows, and gather valuable business insights.

Office Network (Pvt) Ltd, in partnership with Hikvision, implemented a comprehensive Smart Retail Solution featuring face recognition and people counting cameras, fisheye heat mapping, digital signage, centralised NVRs, and smart display units. An integrated HCP dashboard manages access control, time attendance, and device health monitoring, while the linked digital signage and surveillance systems deliver a seamless, intelligent in-store experience.

The solution enabled Exclusive Lines to monitor customer behaviour, optimise store layouts, and improve staff management through a data-driven BI dashboard. This centralised platform enhanced operational visibility across the CCC and OGF outlets, while digital signage added both aesthetic appeal and promotional value to the brand’s in-store environment.
