Abstract
Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) has shown that an automated personnel tracking and material monitoring system enhances protection of sensitive and classified parts against an insider. Such a system also significantly reduces the number of required, manual physical inventories at Department of Energy (DOE) sites while increasing assurance that material has not been diverted. SNL's Insider Technology Department developed and is enhancing its generic, real-time, personnel tracking and material monitoring system. The system consists of facility selectable modules. This paper presents an overview of the modules, evaluation results, user's suggestions, and future modules.
