CASE STUDY
West HQ,
Sydney
World Class Technology for a World Class Venue
- ID and Facial recognition
- UVC Disinfection
- covid-19 check-in
West HQ is Sydney’s leading landmark destination for entertainment, fitness, lifestyle & accommodation in the Western Sydney region.
West HQ’s vision was to provide its members and guests with the best possible, most seamless, customer experience, from the moment they entered the venue through to them heading home. The new centrepiece of West HQ’s operation would be the Sydney Coliseum Theatre, a 2000 seat state-of-the-art performance venue. Another goal was to “future proof” the West HQ precinct for years to come.
A fleet of self-service kiosks were installed across West HQ’s entrances to welcome and register patrons. NEC’s facial recognition algorithm matches the image from an individuals’ license or passport to their face, providing superior identification. This provides West HQ with an automated, rapid and compliant system to register patrons.
The recent upgrade has installed motion sensing UV-C (ultraviolet light) disinfecting, that disinfects the touchscreen and Passport/ID scanner between uses.
