Visitor management via QR code

Issue 6 2023 Access Control & Identity Management, Products & Solutions

ATG Digital has launched its QR Code Reader to enhance access control's security and efficiency. The new QR Code Reader enables seamless, contactless access control, creating an efficient user journey.

Swift scanning grants authorised persons’ instant access to designated areas, while intelligent flagging and blocking keep intruders at bay. Advanced features allow the QR Code invitations to limit the holder’s access to specific time slots or a select number of entries. Access can be digitally revoked immediately should the system detect any discrepancies. The system further captures entry and exit times for enhanced time and attendance tracking, while real-time insights guide optimal operational efficiency.

The pre-configured codes can be sent to guests ahead of time, and the system notifies hosts on their arrival, making for a frictionless welcome to the premises. Ariel Flax of ATG says that the QR Code scanners, which can integrate Near Field Communication (NFC), add value to several business departments. “Security Managers can control who accesses which areas, and at which times, and for how long, while HR and payroll have access to accurate, time-stamped records.”

“Reporting provides business intelligence to the C-Suite guiding business decisions, and, finally, real-time reporting enables immediate response – giving staff and visitors ultimate peace of mind.”
