Biometrics in Utilities
Strengthen access control and protect critical infrastructure
Utilities operate in high-risk environments where security breaches can have wide-reaching impacts. NEC’s advanced biometric solutions — including facial recognition and multimodal authentication — ensure only authorised personnel gain access to control rooms, substations, and restricted sites. Fast, accurate, and contactless, our technology also reduces reliance on access cards or PINs, helping eliminate lost credentials and insider risks.

Digital Identity for Utilities
Securing people, simplifying processes — from control rooms to customer accounts
In today’s connected utilities landscape, managing identity is essential — whether for employees, contractors, or customers. NEC’s digital identity solutions provide a secure, scalable way to verify and manage who accesses what, where, and when.
For internal teams and field crews, our tools simplify workforce onboarding and access management across sites and systems — improving compliance, auditability, and operational efficiency. Contractors and distributed teams can be verified remotely, with secure access tailored to roles and responsibilities.
For customers, digital identity streamlines onboarding, protects against fraud, and enables secure, passwordless access to online accounts and services. By verifying users quickly and securely, utilities can deliver better digital experiences, reduce risk, and build trust with the people they serve — all while lowering service friction and operating costs.
With NEC, digital identity becomes more than just access control — it’s a foundation for smarter, safer, and more connected utility operations across Aotearoa.
