HID’s employee badge readily available on Apple Wallet

HID Global’s employee badge access is now available on Apple Wallet. Using their Apple mobile devices, employees can access office doors, elevators, turnstiles, and multi-function printers, to name but a few.

The Apple Wallet employee badge seamlessly integrates with third-party access control systems and is easily managed by internal staff. Your employee’s badge in Apple Wallet will work even if their iPhone needs charging. The employee badge in Apple Wallet also takes advantage of the privacy and security features built into the iPhone and Apple Watch.

An employee badge is stored on the user’s device, meaning Apple doesn’t see where staff or employees access it, so data is private and secure. Implementation of employee badge in Apple Wallet involves a collaboration between your organisation, HID and HID’s approved Technology Partners.

The standard covers the application of electrical controls to manage the unauthorised use of escape doors, whether as part of an access control system or just to achieve exit management in situations such as retail stores, hospitals and schools and commercial premises.

As part of the course, attendees will learn that an exit system comprises of three elements, tested as a complete escape solution. The first is an electric controlling device, an initiating element (a resettable illuminated switch), and an electric locking device to secure the door. The electric locking device will be a fail un-locked device specifically designed to work under a side load to ensure escape, with the durability of the ability to release proven.
