Graycor Selects CRScan for C-Blast Furnace

Troy, Michigan June 2, 2008 - Copper Range is pleased to announce Graycor has selected CRScan to control worker access for the C-Blast Furnace project at SeverStalNA's steel plant, in Dearborn, Michigan. In conjunction with Homeland Security requirements, CRScan will be used to control access to the project using turnstiles for contractor access, and to ensure workers are compliant with drug testing and safety training programs such as the MUST Safety Program of southeastern Michigan.

With options ranging from a simple card swipe to a roadway lift arm gate to a single-person turnstile, CRScan accurately checks a worker’s credentials against a pre-built, web-based database of information in a fraction of a second. It then provides up-to-date reporting, attendance and compliance information such as drug test programs, safety training certification, area access approval and any other rules required of workers by employers.

As a patented wireless, cellular system, CRScan operates with complete independence from any pre-existing IT infrastructure or staff. It can be put in place as soon as electrical power is available - quickly, simply, cost effectively.
