The access control is now considered the ideal solution to monitor and manage access and movement in companies, public places and private environments.

The access control systems in Chicago base their usefulness on the concept of identification. Each device has the task of recognizing and recording the access of people, animals or vehicles in different environments and for this the possible applications are manifold.

The main functions of the access control systems are: Access control systems

control of the illegitimate transit of people or vehicles in private places
monitoring inputs and outputs of flows of people in certain time slots or holidays
with the use of an identification badge it is possible to regulate the opening of doors or gates
activation or deactivation of safety systems
regulate the flow of people inside a building

In which places is their use recommended?

Companies and private properties
Public buildings such as shopping malls, offices, warehouses, hospitals, hotels and resorts, courts, schools, museums and cinemas
Reserved areas such as workshops or parking lots

The access control system can be Stand Alone or Modular.

The Stand Alone solution is an autonomous system that does not require the integration of other devices. It is mainly used to allow one or more people to access a space, thus guaranteeing their safety within a private environment.

In the Modular system, the control unit must interact with multiple readers in order to manage more complex situations such as a set of doors, turnstiles or gates. This solution is more suitable for offices, warehouses, hotels, shopping centers or in any case in situations with different accesses.

Both systems guarantee identification through Mifare RFID cards, identification codes, fingerprints or numerical combinations. For these control systems to be efficient, badge readers, biometric readers or numeric keypads must be installed on the inputs to be monitored to dial the codes associated with the subject or vehicle to which access is granted.

Some of the previous readers are also used in other fields such as in the case of Time Attendance. Here the identification of the subject allows quantifying and managing the working time of the employees of a company, information that will then be necessary for the definition of the payroll.

A wide range of products ranging from control devices (including the surveys presences) tags, cards and proximity readers, biometric readers to store fingerprints but also programmers cards and controllers.
