KEBA revolutionises user identification with Kemro UserID _2008-12-18
Modern user identification demands flexibility, a user orientation and the simplest possible operation. Requirements that are met in full by the KEBA Kemro UserID, a complete user ID system that sets new benchmarks with regard to user-friendliness and personalisation.
Current industrial production constitutes an extremely complex process and success is largely dependent upon innovative machine and plant technology, and its efficient operation. Moreover, the demands placed on equipment are further raised by increasingly stringent mandatory, safety regulations.
The topic of user identification, which is frequently neglected, constitutes a weak point in the daily production process. As a result of sizeable fluctuations in plant operating personnel and the insufficient user-friendliness of identification processes, passwords are sometimes publicly noted. In addition, elaborate registration and deregistration procedures tie up valuable resources and in the case of frequent, process-related machine changes, on occasions users deliberately fail to deregister in order to save time.
These examples demonstrate how the careless treatment of machine user identification can jeopardise the safety, transparency and traceability of the production process. In response, KEBA has developed an innovative and safe system, which is also very easy to use, and thus provides the central elements in modern user identification.
RFID offers simple technology with no passwords
Kemro UserID revolutionises production sequences by ensuring efficiency, complete traceability, adherence to safety standards and last, but not least, user-friendly access to plant and visualisation systems. Easy-to-use, contactless RFID technology makes time-consuming registration and deregistration on machinery and plant with user name and password, and the local upkeep and administration of user data on machinery redundant. Users are registered within seconds, can utilise the operating surface, which has been suitably adjusted, in their own language and receive the relevant safety level information.
KEBA’s promising and innovative solution is ideal for employment in branches with the strictest safety and hygiene standards. And in order to protect precisely these standards, Kemro UserID avoids conventional approaches such a fingerprint scanner. Instead it uses an intelligent solution based on an RFID writing and reading module, which can process the user profiles stored on contactless data carriers. The RFID modules function in even the most demanding industrial environments, such as those found in the metalworking sector. The transponders needed for user identification are available as smart cards, or as handy wristbands and key ring pendants.
The storage of personal data on the contactless transponder facilitates a simple and quick interaction between the user and the machine. Moreover, the completely individual adjustment of the user surface to the respective operator with regard to safety level, language and other functions, is also given. As a result, the unique Kemro UserID product family not only fulfils the strictest safety standards, but also major ergonomic requirements.
Differing systems for every application
The complete Kemro UserID contactless identification product programme is characterised by simplicity, flexibility and a user orientation. The three “classic”, “eco” and “secure+” versions ensure quick and straightforward integration into existing or new machinery and plant. The “classic” line is suitable for linkage via serial interfaces and thus facilitates the problem-free retrofitting of existing plant, while the “eco” and “secure+” lines rely on the use of widely available USB interfaces.
In addition, the “secure+” module offers the possibility of user identification system integration into an existent in-company administration, utilities and clearing system. In years to come, the utilisation of this module will mean that employees will only require a single pass for all company operations, irrespective of whether access authorisation, machine user identification or payment transactions in the canteen are involved.
“Secure+” combines all the advantages of the complete Kemro UserID product programme with regard to maximum operational safety, production transparency and improved plant user ergonomics. It enables a safe, individual and equally simple solution for all relevant user identification procedures in line with specific company needs.
On request, all three “classic”, “eco” and “secure+” modules can be fitted with an exceptionally robust casing (IP 65), or be installed directly into existing equipment or visualisation devices. The integration of the modules, without irritating edges or gaps, means that not only ergonomic, but also the highest quality and hygiene standards can be fulfilled as demanded in the pharmaceutical, food and semi-luxury goods industries.
Rapid commissioning due to a complete range of accessories
Naturally, the Kemro UserID drivers support all standard control and visualisation operating systems. Furthermore, they provide a simple and clear interface for reading and writing operations on the data carriers, as well as configuration. In order to facilitate integration, Kemro UserID contains a pre-installed interface for user identification, which allows the structured processing of user data. Moreover, apart from the modules, contactless transponders and software drivers, KEBA provides packages for smooth start-up and the integration of the selected product line in a still more efficient and rational manner.
These packages are based on the device drivers and quickly integrate the Kemro UserID modules into the respective operating systems. Start applications are provided in the form of simple building blocks, which can be altered by the customers according to their own requirements. Additional examples clarify software integrate and the diverse possibilities for linkage with the user administration.
Kemro UserID enables a relaxed approach towards the future
Through its safe, flexible and innovative user identification system, KEBA has already reacted to the technical, safety technology and economic trends of the future. Kemro UserID guarantees optimum production process transparency, offers protection against the unauthorised accessing of customer industrial know-how through data coding, and facilitates a sustained increase in machine and plant productivity.
