Wireless Access Control & Real-Time Location Tracking
engineered end-to-end.
One platform that controls who enters a building and shows where people and assets are inside it. Each user carries a single card: it opens doors at NFC readers and, at the same time, transmits a beacon that access-control devices and ultra-wideband location trackers use to locate it in real time — to within tens of centimetres. Readers connect to existing door controllers and panels through the industry-standard Wiegand interface, and every device reports through a gateway to a central server for administration, live maps and event history. The architecture is protected by a US patent co-invented by IDEAS founder Ashok Kumar Joshi.
What it does.
- One card for both door access and real-time location tracking
- NFC card and credential reading at every door
- Wiegand interface to existing access controllers, door panels and readers
- Ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning of people and assets to within tens of centimetres
- Hands-free proximity detection for doors and restricted zones
- Wi-Fi backhaul from readers and trackers to a gateway and central server
- Live location map, zone alerts and full access / movement event history
- Same hardware platform for door readers and location trackers
- Suitable for warehouses, factories, hospitals and secure facilities
Electronics first.
System thinking throughout.
