Electronic access control for a wide range of industries

In addition to time recording solutions, zeit ag specializes in integrated access solutions for a wide range of industries. Read more about how an access system works and the new vision in this area here.

Everything under control

With our access system, access to all doors and elevators in a company is secured with a multifunctional door control system and managed centrally via software. The objectives are to maximize security and manage authorizations clearly.

Linking time recording and access control

Thanks to interfaces, the time and access solutions from zeit ag combine to form a practical complete solution. Employees not only record their time with the badge, but also gain access to selected areas of the company. The interfaces enable automatic synchronization of working and access times. This facilitates staff scheduling in complex companies with many shifts and staff changes. Our access solutions are already proving their worth in a wide range of applications such as commercial and industrial properties, hospitals and care homes.

How it works

Andreas works as an App Developer at Software AG. This story about Andreas explains the connection between time recording and access control and how it makes his day-to-day work easier.

07:50 a.m.: Andreas drives his car into the company's parking garage. The long-range reader recognizes the active card in the car and automatically opens the garage door for him.

08:00 a.m.: Andreas' shift begins. He clocks in with his badge on the reader at the entrance door. At the same time, he is granted access to the building and the authorizations on his badge are updated.
updated. He now has access to all the required internal doors.

08:05 a.m.: Andreas uses his badge to access the locker to securely store his sports bag.

09:00 a.m.: Andreas needs documents from the archive in the basement, a protected area with sensitive data. In the elevator, he identifies himself with his badge at the access reader, which recognizes him as an authorized person and grants him access to the basement.

17:00: Andreas' shift is over. He takes his sports bag from the locker and stamps his working time with the badge on the reader as he leaves the office.

Software: In the background, Andreas' working times and access authorizations are synchronized via software thanks to interfaces to the HR and time recording system. This means he always has the correct authorizations on time for his shift. Meanwhile, IT manager Nina controls all access centrally via software. Thanks to the building overview, changes to the doors are reported to her in real time.

Our vision

We want to offer our customers an end-to-end, customized solution that meets their security needs and does not hinder the functionality of their building. In addition, we will specialize in the high-performance sector, so-called "biometric identification". This method offers companies with sensitive business premises such as data centers, banks or insurance companies a particularly high level of security protection. Contactless technology and 2D to 3D terminals guarantee one hundred percent identification. Together with TBS, the zeit ag team is already working intensively on this strategy - with encouraging prospects.
