The CheckedID app is intended to establish someone's identity. Very safe, easy to use and fully compliant with laws and regulations. CheckedID is intended for companies and organizations that need certainty with whom they are dealing, even if these persons are located at a distance. All it takes is a formal identity document (e.g. passport, ID card, residence permit or driving licence) and a standard smartphone or tablet connected to the internet. The app can be used directly from the App Store, while customization is still provided. CheckedID offers a suitable solution for the perfect ID check for every situation. With the CheckedlD app, images and data of an ID document and its holder are captured. If the device and document used support this, the NFC chip in the document is read. The app is very safe (“bank grade”) and does not leave any personal data on the device. The app sends the images and data to the secure CheckedID servers, where the automated verification takes place. The result is available in less than 15 seconds. The secure verification report states whether the ID is in order and provides the verified personal data of the holder. All this in full compliance with the GDPR requirements. CheckedID is a business service developed and owned by JanusID B.V. (The Netherlands). It contains components licensed from Mitek Systems B.V. The CheckedID app is free to use for all employees and guests of companies and organizations that have a subscription to the CheckedID service. The operation of the app can also be tested in demo mode. Request a demo code for this via https://www.janusid.nl/en/contact.

About

Circle Light 2025

Features
Read full description

The Schréder Circle Light application aims to help lighting managers maximise the benefits of luminaires and extend their life cycle to the maximum. It enables road and urban lighting fixtures to be programmed quickly and easily, for example, to set the luminous flux, schedule the dimming profile and set up other parameters that define the actual operation of the luminaire on-site. Using NFC (Near-Field Communication) technology for contactless driver programming, the Schréder Circle Light application is part of a complete service ecosystem that includes the Schréder Smart Label, which gathers product-specific information in a codified and structured way. The App enables the factory settings to be updated with reprogramming data and information captured during the installation phase (dimming profile, date and place of installation, etc.). The updated information can then be accessed and viewed in the Schréder Smart Label Portal and in the Schréder EXEDRA control platform interface. Offering a quick and easy adaptation of luminaire parameters on the field, the Schréder Circle Light application allows standard luminaires to be adjusted to meet various requirements, for example, to adapt the luminaire's output to a specific lighting class and to maximise savings with the most efficient dimming profile. The Schréder Circle Light application is able to capture the parameters of a failed driver and reprogramme a new driver with the same settings, prolonging the regular operating status of the luminaire on-site. With the unique luminaire ID, the parameters that can be configured on the field, are predefined by the manufacturer to ensure reliable luminaire operation. The Schréder Circle Light App provides the following features: - Programme a luminaire driver using the NFC technology of a smartphone or tablet - 3 ways to access the factory dimming programme of a luminaire: unique serial number, Schréder Smart Label or dimming code - Differentiated access rights according to the user's profile - Update luminaire installation data (date and precise location) for asset management - Access to luminaire information, diagnostic and usage data
