Access Control for Ecological Islands: A Smart Solution with LabKey

Efficiency and security in managing ecological islands are more crucial than ever. Ecological islands are facilities dedicated to waste separation, but to ensure proper use and security, implementing an access control system is essential. LabKey is the ideal solution for managing and monitoring access quickly and securely.

What is LabKey?

LabKey is an advanced access control system known for its simplicity, security, and versatility. Using modern technologies such as NFC, QR codes, and numeric keypads, LabKey provides complete control over access to ecological islands, improving operational efficiency and reducing the risk of unauthorized entry.

How to Access the Ecological Island?

Access to the ecological island is managed securely and easily with LabKey. Depending on their assigned permissions (days and opening hours), citizens may or may not be allowed to enter the ecological area.

Thanks to the QR Code Reader and Keypad combination, access to the gate is granted via a QR code, but also with a 7-digit code printed below the QR image. This flexible system allows users to choose different access methods, ensuring simplified user management.

EcoCard and Linked App

The system is designed to be user-friendly for residents who use a personal EcoCard. The EcoCard contains a unique QR Code, allowing access to the ecological island.

In addition to the EcoCard, the municipality has also provided a mobile app, enabling citizens to download their personal QR code stored in the EcoCard, granting access via smartphone.

This app makes access control management even more practical. Additionally, access is available even without an internet connection, ensuring that the system operates in all conditions.

Guaranteed Functionality Without an Internet Connection

Another key advantage of LabKey is that it functions even without an internet connection, preventing access issues in areas with unstable networks. This feature is particularly useful for remote areas, where internet connectivity might not always be reliable.

Connect LabKey to Access Control Devices

The system is designed to be easily integrated with any access control device, such as doors, barriers, gates, or electric locks, making it highly versatile. Thanks to this seamless integration, citizens can access the island smoothly and securely.

Comprehensive Management Panel

The access control system includes a management panel (CRM) that allows real-time monitoring of access. Using the Manage Panel, administrators can create virtual keys and manage access quickly and easily.

The panel also enables the export of complete access logs in Excel and PDF formats, which are extremely useful for monitoring and managing user flow within the ecological island.

Case Study: Municipality of Sorengo – Access Control for the Ecological Island

A real-world example of LabKey’s effectiveness in ecological islands comes from the Municipality of Sorego. This municipality implemented an access control system to manage their ecological island.

Thanks to LabKey technology, they were able to optimize access and enhance security. The installation of the system enabled real-time monitoring of user entries and streamlined entry procedures with QR code and NFC authentication.

Additionally, the ability to customize access based on the facility’s specific needs ensured smoother management, minimizing unauthorized entries.

The Municipality of Sornego also recorded a significant reduction in waste disposal violations, thanks to the ability to track who accessed the facility and when.

This way, the LabKey access control system not only improved operational efficiency but also supported the municipality’s environmental and security policies.

Conclusion

Access control for ecological islands is essential to ensure security, efficiency, and proper waste disposal. With LabKey, ecological islands can benefit from advanced, automated access management, enhancing operational efficiency and offering greater security for users.
