Access Control

SITE ACCESS
Access Control can provide substantial benefits to worksites that are highly regulated or have a large amount of personnel or workers entering. These benefits range from the ability to grant or deny access to a site by verifying training requirements, to recording who is on site and for how long.

Once training records have been verified Personnel or Contractors are issued with a STAX smart card. The access card has photo identification and a chip encoded with their unique identifier. This forms the basis for the SGS STAX Site Access Control, as workers swipe their Smart Card access will be granted or denied based on whether the match is made between the particular location requirements and the employees qualifications. The SGS STAX System can give you assurances that everyone onsite has the appropriate skills.  Managing safe access to worksites is a big job, and SGS STAX provides the answer. It’s rigorous, reliable and will save you money.

The SGS STAX system can be linked with existing structures, such as boom gates, turnstiles and stop/go lights. The SGS STAX database electronically links the training and personnel information contained on the SGS STAX Card with a Site Access Control System. The access terminals record and verify the information on each ID card, validate the information and track contractor and employee movements, onto and off of site and across different sites.  Specific access restrictions may be activated to control or even deny access to certain persons or specific areas.

SMARTSTAX
SMARTSTAX is used to improve the reliability of access control of STAX, this is extremely useful in the case of remote sites where telecommunications can be poor, or where multiple sites may be involved on a central server. The use of Smart Card Technology allows the system to continually operate even when the communications may be interrupted. The information stored on the Smart Card chip still allows the cross reference to be undertaken by the card reader. The card reader in turn, is able to hold the data and history of the cardholders while offline, and automatically upload these when the communications are restored.
