Example use case

A manufacturing complex wants to streamline their employee access to various areas after becoming frustrated with physical keyed doors throughout. The facility needs to control access to a clean room, where only those with up to date health and safety qualifications can enter, along with clearance from a manager.

The facility needs to be able to restrict after hours access to specific employees based on their normal shift hours, and also manage occasional contractors on site.

An access control system would be ideal for this application, allowing full control over user access, with easily configurable user levels, and windows when access can be granted.

Doors can be fitted with card readers and electronic locks, which can be triggered to release on exit or in the event of a fire alarm, however can also be set up to still work with keyed mechanical locks.

After users complete the relevant qualifications, they can also be set to temporary elevated access, which expires when the expiration day of the relevant H&S qualification expires for example. Contractor access cards can also be set up to only work during the day, or expire each day to protect from these being inadvertently removed from the site.

As you can see, the number of configurations is almost limitless, and can be tailored in a way that allows your staff to focus on the job at hand, rather than focusing on who should be where and when.
