Simply stated, access control is the ability to limit who has access to specific areas at certain times and provide reports of system use. Access control isn’t just for large companies anymore. With today’s access control, you’re in charge- a small to medium size network of doors may be administered on a Personal Computer! Changes to schedules, codes and users may be made easily in seconds. But access control is much more than controlling who enters or exits a building. Do you have a need to control access to individual unsecured areas such as tool bins, stock rooms, freezers, gates, elevators & overhead doors? Perhaps you need to limit the operation of conveyors, trash bins, compressors & other industrial machinery only to authorized individuals. Methods of requesting access may include entering a code on a keypad, a card swiped in a reader or a proximity tag that is read from a distance. All of the methods mentioned have one thing in common- they provide accountability of users, which may lead to reduced employee theft, safer workplaces and reduced liability. The professionals at Anderson Control Inc. can help you develop an access control system that suits your needs and fits your budget.
