Mid-range terminals
Typically deployed in warehousing and distribution, these units are can also be utilised with hand held barcode readers for a low cost shop floor data capture solution. These hand held readers will help simplify the scanning of job sheets saving your shop floor managers time and money.
Touch screen industrial terminals
Touch screen data terminals utilise both Windows or Linux technology and are available with either a barcode, proximity or finger print reader. These terminals will allow your employees to access their personal records such as a graphical holiday screen, clock card times and also allows them to see who the first aider is within their department.
The main benefit of having a touch screen terminal is that it integrates well with shop floor data capture. Ceequel can be integrated with the vast majority of ERP systems allowing for live jobs and activities to be automatically uploaded in real-time, as well as select relevant operations and include information on quantity produced, scrapped and any downtime reasons. These terminals can also be used to view safety protocols ensuring all employees are up to date with current procedures and have accepted all changes to critical documents.

Our access control system has drastically changed the face of access control for many businesses. Classic site based systems rely on physical wiring and multiple site control boxes in order to manage who goes where. Our system works on both Local Area Networks (LAN) and Wide Area Networks (WAN) and communicates via TCIP/IP meaning companies are able to control access to all of their sites from one central station.
Ceequel® software-based access control has changed the face of access control. The software operates on both Local Area Networks (LAN) and Wide Area Networks (WAN), and communicates via TCIP/IP so companies are able to control access to all their sites from one central station.
Contrast this with classic site-based central panel systems that need multiple electric panel boxes, power supplies, and site controllers to control specific clusters of doors. Oh, yes, and there’s also the host PC, RS485 cables to provide communication to each panel box, and feet upon feet of wiring between the panels and door controllers. Central panel installation calls for expensive electricians, and at the end of the day all it provides is limited access control to employees using proximity cards.
Ceequel® Access Control, on the other hand, is one-size-fits-all, supporting not only proximity cards, but also key fobs, barcodes, company-designed ID cards, and even fingerprint biometrics. It supplies each access point with a list of authorised employees and detailed information as to exactly who is allowed access and when. That one-size-fits-all feature extends to Ceequel®’s ability to control not only door locks but turnstiles, barriers, and fast lane systems.
Since all Ceequel® modules are based on Microsoft SQL technology, they can run seamlessly on existing systems and infrastructures; since the access control module uses the same hardware and ID cards as the Ceequel® Time and Attendance module, the two can be fully integrated. In addition, whatever data is collected by the Access Control module can be used in conjunction with the Fire Register and Employee Tracking modules.
So if you’re ready to move beyond a twentieth Century central panel access control system, contact us. We provide a turn key solution, with everything you need to fully meet your twenty-first century access control needs.
Acess control is a lot more then just the locking of restricted doors. It has now developed into a full customised system that can log clocking times and employee details in order to be analysed at a later date as well as providing limited access to sensitive data.
Access Control is about more than automatically locking doors, and magnetic strip cards for your employees. Could you ever imagine that a fully customised access control system could be used to clock in and out, to record traffic patterns, programmed to change after scheduled shifts, allow limited access to sensitive data, and more?
Other options that are available in the rapidly advancing technology of access control is the type of control used – we are way past lanyards and turnstiles, here. Infrared, biometrics, microchips and barcodes can be utilised in a variety of ways depending on your unique security needs.
With all the versatility, how do you choose the right access control solution for your company?
Sensitivity
The first thing to consider is the level of sensitivity that you require. How sensitive is the data or material that you manufacture, house or transport? Attach a meaningful value to what you do, and that will immediately rule out at least half of the options. Cards with magnetic strips that can be easily lost, stolen, or illegally transferred are out of the question. High priority security settings use advanced code locks, scheduled changing of authorised entrance permissions, and ways to closely monitor the traffic in sensitive areas, including fingerprint scans and infrared controls.
Traffic volume and flow
Security is primary, flow is secondary. Measure the volume of traffic that your business experiences on a daily basis and divide the results into two primary types of traffic: first, how many individuals come and go from outside the premises? Second, how many individuals transit between rooms, floors, and wings within the premises? If most of your traffic is internal, consider a micro-chip card that comes with multiple functions: like cashless transactions (for visiting vending machines and in-house lunch-rooms), authorising and limiting copying, printing and scanning privileges, and clocking in and out.
The possibilities are nearly endless with Ceequel® Access Control, ensuring your premise is safe and secure. Contact us to get a fully customised access control solution today!

In this day and age protecting company and client data is paramount if you want to run a successful business. Access control systems are revolutionising the way in which businesses control access not only to their data, but to their building’s restricted areas. The admittance to a building can now be controlled via the use of card or biometric thumb print.
In this day and age, theft and break ins are an everyday occurrence. For business owners, keeping your employees and sensitive company data safe is imperative to the functionality of your business. Access Control is revolutionising the way businesses grant access to their building and restricted areas. It is helping to keep employees safe by only granting admittance to the building through use of a card or biometric thumb print. It also only allows authorised employees into certain areas of the building.
Back in the old days, companies used to employ a guard to watch doors that only certain staff members were allowed into; however, what happened if the guard had to use the toilet, or go to lunch, or simply wasn’t paying attention? With access control, there is no room for human error.

When it comes to time and attendance software within a business there’s nothing hotter than a biometrics system. Fingerprint and hand scanners not only improve attendances, record accurately and keep everything secure they also look like something out of a bond film whilst doing so. This technology is nothing new however it’s only just becoming ever more popular within the business sector.
One of the hottest trends in time keeping for businesses is biometrics. A fingerprint or hand scan time clock improves attendance, accuracy, and security. While looking like something out of a James Bond movie, or The Matrix, the technology has actually been around since the 1960s. However, applying this technology to business is becoming popular. As a way to track time and attendance, biometric scanners offer some great options. However, what many employers are finding is a resistance from employees towards using them. While some may simply regret the loss of wiggle room on their time punches, some people have more extreme concerns.
Making sure your many different business sites are secure may be the single most important job of your technology department. With data breaches on the up making sure your company’s data system is secure has never been more important. The problem with having really tight security on your network however, is that you risk locking your own employees out of information they need to complete their day to day jobs.
Securing your many different business sites may be the single most important priority of the information technology department at your organisation. With data breaches making ongoing headlines for unfortunate retailers and other companies across the globe, an even more discerning eye has been focused on corporate security.
One of the problems with having really tight security over your company’s resources is that some personnel do actually need to have access to your data. Preventing the bad guys from having access is absolutely necessary, but you still need to allow the good guys, who work for you, the necessary data and access to do their jobs. This is where the idea of corporate security morphs into the more correct term of access control.
