Who may operate this machine? Is their training still valid? When an employee taps their card, ChipLogin checks their permissions and sends the result to the machine control system. It also records the verification.
Machine permissions can use the same employee records as other access managed in ChipLogin.
Find out whose card was used, when and at which machine.
The Regulation may create traceability and record-keeping requirements for relevant safety-related software changes. Applicability, retention periods, and the evidence required must be assessed for the specific machine and role; ChipLogin provides identity and event records, not legal compliance by itself.
Decisions follow the operator rules you set. How the verification result is used depends on integration with the machine control system.
Connects to the machine control system. ChipLogin checks operator permissions; it does not replace machine functional safety or safety circuits.
A compact card reader, mounted on the machine's control panel.
Installed in the machine's control cabinet. Holds an encrypted connection (mTLS) to ChipLogin Server and evaluates authorization.
Authorization and operator identity land directly in process data — over EtherCAT or Modbus TCP.
And why it works reliably even without a network connection:
ChipLogin for machines stores a cryptographically signed qualification matrix locally — who is trained for which tasks, and until when. It checks permissions without contacting the server for every card tap.
Rule updates and audit synchronisation run in the background over mTLS. During a network outage, known, trained operators can be authorised using locally stored rules. The exact behaviour depends on the installation.
Employees can use the same card at a computer and a machine. Permissions are checked against the rules set for each device.
Each record includes the assigned employee, time, machine and verification result. You can review both granted and denied access during an internal check.
One base device with a swappable communication module, configured for the supported industrial interface required by the deployment. Confirm the required bus, module status, and certification needs with us before specifying the system.
A setup for one machine: a control module in the cabinet and a reader at the control panel.
A unit for the control cabinet. Holds an encrypted connection to ChipLogin Server, evaluates operator authorization, and passes the PLC the result directly in process data.
mounting: 35 mm DIN rail · bus: EtherCAT / Modbus TCP · server: Ethernet, mTLS
A compact card reader for the machine's control panel. Signals status to the operator and passes the read to the control module.
cards: 13.56 MHz · mounting: at the control panel · connection: to the control module
