Smart Tile
Read full descriptionHide full description
Smart Tile turns access control and checking-in ‘on-its-head’, making a mobile phone the reader, and the QR code or NFC tag the location identifier. It allows users to unlock doors or register themselves at any location, simply by scanning or tapping a Smart Tile with their mobile device. Our solution provides an inexpensive, easy-to-deploy alternative to traditional card, pin code or QR code-based readers, with no need for power. By linking the account to an individual mobile phone, Smart Tile stops credential sharing, a problem with all traditional solutions, whilst delivering an easy to use customer experience.
