Machine Access Device

INTRODUCTION

The IntelliKran® Machine Access System gives secure RFID-based machine access and full operational visibility. Every access attempt, including denied attempts, is captured at the machine, synchronized to a local server, and forwarded to cloud services for centralized monitoring, compliance, and fleet-level control.

 

Key Features

  • RFID Access – ISO 14443A RFID authentication with operator UID-level tracking
  • Local Server – Up to 100 m line-of-sight sync range with expandable multi-server coverage
  • Cloud Visibility – Machine events forwarded through local server for centralized web monitoring
  • Audit Ready – Both approved and denied access attempts are logged for accountability

System Overview

Machine Access Device
  • RFID-based access control for industrial machines with both successful and denied scans recorded.
  • Built to work alongside IntelliKran® hoist and crane systems for operator + machine visibility.
  • Machine-to-local-server-to-cloud data path for centralized monitoring and auditing.
  • Offline-safe behavior: MA events are retained on-device and synchronized when back in range.

WebApp Capabilities

  • Device management with metadata, serial info, location, and online/offline heartbeat status.
  • Real-time event streaming for RFID scans with authentication success/failure outcomes.
  • Fault alerts for RTC sync, Ethernet, flash storage, ESP-NOW mesh, and Firebase push failures.
  • CSV monthly export for access events and compliance/audit reporting.
  • Operator profiles with RFID UID, employee serial, and role assignment.
  • Operator assignment workflow with pending -> active -> revoke -> revoked lifecycle.

Sync, OTA, and Operations

  • Sync manager with MA device queue, stale detection (5-minute threshold), and manual sync trigger.
  • OTA firmware pipeline: upload binary, track versions, publish active release, monitor rollout.
  • Audit trail for configuration changes with user attribution and timestamped history.
  • Role-based data filtering and Firebase-backed auth and encrypted cloud transport.
  • Each MA device can update through whichever local server is reachable in larger sites.
     

Applications

  • Overhead and mobile cranes (construction, ports, logistics yards)
  • Forklifts (warehouses, factories, distribution centers)
  • Generators and rental backup power fleets
  • Excavators, loaders, compactors, and earthmoving machinery
  • Mining and heavy-duty equipment
  • Agricultural, utility, and municipal equipment fleets
