Standard access control systems record only the fact of unlocking doors/gates, but they do not verify the number of people who actually enter. The TIMATE system checks who is in the given room on an ongoing basis and sends messages to the card, informing about the necessity to exit the room, as well as unauthorized access alerts to the system.
Thanks to the location mechanism, the TIMATE card can see the facilities, zones or spaces where the employee is located. Access rights to such places are monitored on an ongoing basis. Employees get a message on their cards if they have to leave a particular place. Managers are notified of any access breaches. Access rights can be defined at the level of particular employees or groups of employees for any given facility, zone or other designated spaces.
If the access to any rooms must be physically protected with electric strikes, turnstiles, locking mechanisms and other devices, TIMATE cards can be integrated with the existing RFID readers of such devices. TIMATE cards have an embedded, passive and remotely programmed NFC tag (standard ISO/IEC 14443 Type A with 4-kbit memory). If the readers use a legacy technology, e.g. 125KHz, it is possible to attach special stickers with RFID tags onto the cards.
