Implementación de un sistema de control de accesos basado en tecnologías biométricas y RFID para fortalecer la seguridad en las instalaciones académicas de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Vida y Tecnologías para el bloque de Agroindustrias.

Abstract

This thesis addresses the security issues at the Faculty of Life and Technology Sciences of the Universidad Laica Eloy Alfaro de Manabí, specifically within the Agricultural Sciences program. Despite having adequate resources such as desks, chairs, computers, printers, and storage spaces, the absence of an efficient access control system has created vulnerabilities that compromise the safety of both students and faculty. The work identifies various deficiencies in traditional security systems, such as the use of keys that present limitations in terms of accuracy and efficiency. The research proposes the implementation of an access control system based on biometric and RFID technologies, with the aim of enhancing security and improving the management of entry points within the agro-industrial block. Throughout the study, the causes and effects of the security problem are analyzed, highlighting factors such as technological evolution, the expansion of academic activities, and the lack of investment in updated security measures. This thesis establishes specific objectives to identify the needs of the facilities, implement the new access control system, and establish efficient and appropriate management parameters. The implementation of this system aims not only to strengthen the physical security of the facilities but also to enhance the management and real-time monitoring of access, allowing for a more effective response to potential incidents. This initiative is justified by the urgent need to provide a safe and conducive environment for the academic and personal development of the university community.
