Access control with transponder: advantages & areas of application

Conventional keys are increasingly being replaced by alternative access media – one possibility is transponders.  In this article, we will show you the advantages of access control with transponders and in which areas it is used.

What is access control with a transponder?

Access control primarily controls and monitors who is allowed to enter a building or premises and who is not. Predefined authorizations can thus  be used to optimally protect buildings, objects, and data. Locking systems are part of the access controls.

Transponders work with RFID technology. Radio Frequency Identification works with electromagnetic waves and enables contactless communication. What does this mean for access controls?

An access control system with a transponder is equipped with a special reader . This reads the data on a transponder and then decides whether the person with the access medium is granted access or not.

A conventional metal key, as known from mechanical locking systems, is not necessary. It is a form of electronic locking system – ideal for efficient and secure use.

To control which people have access to which areas, configure the transponders on a special platform. This is particularly easy and convenient via software or an app.

Advantages of access control with transponder

Mechanical locking systems are increasingly being replaced by access controls with transponders. Among other things, there are the following advantages that speak in favor of it:

• Flexibility: With access control with a transponder, you can assign authorizations flexibly on a special platform. No matter when and where – you can adjust access authorizations as you need it. ‍
• Convenience: Access control with a transponder can be conveniently controlled and operated. Mechanical keys are no longer necessary. ‍
• Contactless use: Transponders communicate contactlessly with the reader. ‍
• Cost-effectiveness: Transponders are cheaper than metal keys. ‍
• Loss of keys: A key can be lost anywhere. In the case of a mechanical locking system, this entails a costly replacement. In the case of access control with a transponder, the lost access medium is simply blocked. ‍
• Time recording: As an electronic system, access control with a transponder can be easily linked to a time recording tool. In this way, you always have an overview of who is in your premises and when.

At BlueID, you will receive solutions that  are individually tailored to your requirements – practical and flexible.

Areas of application: This is where access controls with transponders are used

One area of application is obvious: companies. Companies benefit from access control with transponders in many ways. They are convenient to use, easy to manage, and increase efficiency. Not least because the locking system can be combined with working time recording .

But access control with transponders is not only the ideal solution for companies. Wherever many different people come in and out and where protection is needed that does not restrict anyone, this form of electronic locking system is in demand.

Whether it's a public facility, a fitness studio or an apartment building – with access control with a transponder, you are optimally equipped in many areas.

Result

Access controls with transponders are up-to-date and efficient. Companies in particular benefit greatly from this. But they are also considered an ideal solution in gyms, public facilities or apartment buildings. At BlueID , you will receive solutions that suit you individually. This means that you can enjoy the many advantages of electronic locking systems.
