Access control systems for ports and marine facilities
Manage access for staff, users and visitors and control the restricted areas of your facility.
A port has many access points to control
Marinas and marine facilities need to distinguish staff, users and visitors, restricting access to areas not intended for the public.
- Staff accessManaging entries by authorised operators.
- User accessControlling access by the facility's users, where applicable.
- VisitorsManaging external people and visitors.
- Restricted areasRestricting access to zones reserved exclusively for authorised people.
- Multiple gatesManaging several entry and exit points.
- ControlHaving information on access available, where provided by the solution.
Daicon solutions for ports and marine
For access control to port facilities and restricted areas, Daicon offers an integrated access control system.
Solutions for different port and marine settings
Marinas are explicitly mentioned on the Daicon website as an area of application for access control solutions with payment. The other categories are presented as possible applications of the same solution, without a direct reference documented yet.

Application of the solutionFrom the person to the authorised area
The actual configuration depends on the facility and the operator's needs: not every installation necessarily uses all the elements of the process.
Person
Staff, a user or a visitor arrives at the facility's gate.
Identification
Badges, cards or credentials are read by the system at the entrance.
Authorisation check
The software checks the validity of the credential and the associated authorisations.
Gate / turnstile
If the check is successful, the gate opens.
Entry
The person enters the permitted area.
Registration
The transit is recorded, if provided by the system used.
Every person, their own access level
Conceptual scenarios based on the identification technologies actually available.
Staff
Authorised user
Visitor
External operator
Control access to restricted areas
Not everyone should be able to access every area.
Offices, technical rooms, operational areas and authorised-access zones may require a different level of control from common areas.
Technology at the service of access control
The devices become part of an integrated system; they are not sold as stand-alone elements.
Control vehicle access too
For the facility's vehicle areas, Daicon has automatic barriers, road blockers and number plate reading systems already used in real installations for vehicle access control.
Manage access and authorisations from a single platform
Gate Plus is Daicon's proprietary software for access control and supervision.
The Gate Plus features documented on the Daicon website include: personal records and user management, authorisations, visitor management, gate control, real-time monitoring on a synoptic map, access history and reports, multi-site management.
Manage multiple access points
Gate Plus is designed with a multi-site architecture: centralised management of multiple entrances, exits, areas and authorisation levels from a single platform.
Our solutions for ports and marine facilities
Photographs of specific access control installations in ports or marinas are not yet documented on the Daicon website, although "marinas" are explicitly mentioned as an area of application. Daicon does, however, have a real, documented presence in the marine sector through the distribution of Icom marine radio equipment (VHF, GMDSS, AIS/DSC), with a rental service for nautical events, regattas and charters and delivery to the port — a different area from access control, but concrete proof of experience in the sector. The closest real photographs in terms of access control technology concern an energy infrastructure and trade fair installations.

FAQ
How does access control work in a marina?
The person is identified by badge or credential at the gate; the software checks the authorisation and the turnstile or gate opens, recording the access.
Can staff access be controlled?
Yes, Gate Plus lets you manage personal records, authorisations and time slots for operators and staff.
Can authorised users be managed?
Yes, the system lets you associate each user with specific authorisations and credentials.
Can visitors be managed?
Yes, through the dedicated visitor management module, with registration, authorisation and visit history.
Can access to certain areas be restricted?
Yes, each zone can have independent access rules, with specific authorisations for each area.
Can RFID badges be used?
Yes, Daicon produces and programs ready-to-use RFID badges (125 kHz, MIFARE, DESFire, NFC).
Can multiple gates be controlled?
Yes, Gate Plus has a multi-site architecture that lets you manage multiple entrances, exits and areas from a single platform.
Can vehicle access be controlled?
Yes, through automatic barriers, road blockers and number plate reading systems for the facility's vehicle areas.
