LEGIC employees are already using NFC-based badges with several applications on a daily basis. Visitors are also impressed with the mobile phone, which opens doors, orders photocopies or pays for drinks in automatic vending machines.
Since 13th August 2013, LEGIC has been using badges based on Near Field Communication (NFC) – alias smartphones – in addition to card-based badges to open doors or print documents by laying the mobile phone on a reader at the photocopier. LEGIC employees with an NFC badge have the possibility to use all contactless applications. So, besides access control and vending solution, it is also possible to use the follow-me printing function and to control the alarm system via mobile phone. The supported applications are Selecta vending, Canon copying, alarm activation and de-activation and Kaba online and offline access.
