Magic Sublimation Printed Cards.
Physical access cards
Electronic data, securely written to a smart card
at the point of issuance can be used to grant access not only to the
front door, but also privileged access to more secure departments or
assets within the building itself. A smart card is typically presented
to a card reader, linked to a physical access control system (PACS)
which authenticates the individual and permits access. Access rights can
be revoked or amended at the touch of a button. Learn more about Physical Access.
Logical access cards
Access
to corporate data and networks via desktop PCs, laptops and mobile
devices can be granted, monitored and protected using a logical access
control system (LACS). A separate application can be written on to the
chip of the card alongside the physical access application to enable
this. Normally, a terminal attached to the network access point or a
reader within the hardware itself will securely read keys and data from
the card. This can sometimes be coupled with a password, or for
three-factor authentication to highly secure or sensitive company
information.
Photo ID cards
Most enterprises now issue employees, contractors and visitors with cards in order to verify identity. ID card printers
enable the instant printing of these cards by HR or facilities
departments for employees and visitors. Ensuring these cards cannot
easily be copied is a fundamental security requirement which can be
achieved by using additional visual security features, such as
Magicard’s HoloKote watermark, on each card. Learn more about Photo ID’s.
Payments cards
An additional application can be written to a multi-use employee ID smart card
for payment. This can be pre-loaded with money or even linked to a
payroll system to enable cashless payment for goods, for example from
vending machines or from the staff canteen. Learn more about Payment Cards.
Time and attendance cards
Often linked to a physical or logical access control system, a time and attendance application enables the smart card
to be used to track an employee’s hours of work and movements within
buildings and networks. Technologies deployed can range from a magnetic
stripe ‘swipe’ system to a more advanced tracking technology using Ultra
High Frequency proximity cards which can pinpoint the cardholders
whereabouts. Learn more about Time and Attendance cards.
