Application of the solution

From the person to access

The actual configuration depends on the facility and the customer's needs: not every installation necessarily uses all the elements of the process.

1

Person

An employee, visitor or operator arrives at the access gate.

2

Identification

Badges, cards or credentials are read by the system at the entrance.

3

Authorisation check

The software checks the validity of the credential and the associated authorisations.

4

Gate / turnstile

If the check is successful, the gate opens.

5

Entry

The person enters the permitted area.

6

Registration

The transit is recorded, if provided by the system used.

Every person, their own access level

Protect access to operational areas

Not everyone should be able to access every area.

Offices, warehouses, operational areas and technical rooms may require a different level of access from areas open to the public.
