MPDV: Safeguard you operating areas with an access control module from HYDRA by MPDV

Access Control with HYDRA ZKS

Application & benefits
Buildings, facilities and operating areas safely protected!
For many companies, the issue of access control is becoming increasingly important - not least due to legal requirements. In the production environment, guidelines for customs clearance (e. g. Authorized Economic Operator, AEO) or for food production (e. g. Food Defense) prescribe the protection of certain areas. This also includes visitor administration with integrated ID card management.
In contrast to conventional locking systems, modern access control systems offer many advantages, especially if access points and access attempts need to be logged. Also, higher flexibility in assigning access authorizations and lower costs, such as in case a badge is lost compared to a lost key, speak in favor of an electronic system.
Access control is not a typical MES task, but its integration into an MES creates useful synergies. The HYDRA module Access Control (ZKS) can access existing HR master data from HYDRA Time & Attendance (PZE). Subsequently, this can be combined with the clock-in/clock-out data of HYDRA PZE.
With the integrated Security Control Center, your plant protection always keeps track of everything. Online and offline components can be used to integrate existing doors, access points and locks. HYDRA ZKS supports infrastructure components (e. g. access readers, digital cylinders, door fittings) from dormakaba, a major player with regard to access control and security solutions on the global market.
Benefits of access control with HYDRA ZKS
Greater flexibility and transparency when managing access authorizations
Lower costs and easy replacement in case a badge is lost
Fulfillment of legal requirements and guidelines (e. g. AEO or Food Defense)
Cost savings through multiple use of ID cards (e. g. RFID chip) such as for access/ postings in production, electronic meal payment in cafeterias, etc.
Easy addition of wireless offline components
Many business units across the enterprise can benefit from an MES system such as HYDRA. Our ROI Analyzer reveals the untapped potentials that are still hidden within your production processes and will show you how they can be assessed monetarily.
Highlights
Monitor special areas effectively
State-of-the-art access control systems such as HYDRA ZKS specify when and where authorized persons gain access without hindrance. At the same time, HYDRA ZKS protects your site from unauthorized entry. In order to avoid interference with everyday processes and to ensure simple operation, HYDRA ZKS offers the following essential functions:
Specification of individual access profiles for groups or single persons
Assignment of exemptions
Definition of individual access hours for specific times and weekdays including exceptions (e. g. permanent opening)
Secure methods to identify badges (e. g. RFID)
Record of access and access attempts
Record of alarms and disruptions
Overview of current status of access points in the Security Control Center
Additionally, HYDRA ZKS can be tightly integrated with the HYDRA Time & Attendance module if required.

As with all HYDRA applications, we offer targeted training courses in order to make the implementation of the system as efficient as possible. In the training courses you will learn how to conveniently integrate your requirements into the system.
Functions
Control and record access
HYDRA ZKS enables you to control and monitor authorized access of employees and visitors. You are instantly informed by the Security Control Center if an alarm has been triggered or if security rules are breached, e. g. a door is left open in a secured location or the system has been manipulated.

Access authorization and profiles
Access authorizations specify for each employee at which access points and in which time periods entry is permitted for him or her. HYDRA ZKS provides intuitive functions for data maintenance.
Example functions

Assignment of personnel to profile groups
Summary of individual access authorizations to access profiles
Definition of access points and access groups
Specification of daily open access points including calendar for public holidays
Overviews and evaluations
To provide current overviews and for subsequent evaluations, HYDRA ZKS uses the Security Control Center and offers flexible reports.
Example functions

Graphical presentation of all access points and terminals in the Security Control Center
Logs of all access and attempted access
Overview of all current and past alarms and disturbances
Room zones
With the room zones function in HYDRA ZKS you can monitor and control that only a certain number of people are in a defined area. If the maximum number of people have entered the zone, access for the next person is denied.
Example functions

Room zone overview (how many persons are in specified zones)
Rescue list (which persons are in a certain zone)
Offline components
In addition to card readers that are permanently connected to the system, HYDRA ZKS also supports offline components that replace conventional, inflexible locking systems such as electronic locking cylinders.
Example functions

Use of Access on Card or CardLink for temporary transfer of access authorizations to the badge
Support of many reader types, digital cylinders and electronic locks, e. g. products by dormakaba
Additional functions
HYDRA ZKS also offers useful functions to increase the security in your company.
Example functions

Preparation and management of visitor badges
Control of elevators and gates
Randomized person and bag control
Monitoring and control of access roads to car park facilities
Integration of specific requirements
Because every manufacturing company has unique requirements, HYDRA ZKS offers customized configuration options, while still being able to take advantage of a standard software implementation.
Further details

HYDRA ZKS can be configured via extensive master data and flexible settings without the need for custom programming:
Extensive configuration of access points
Individual design of the Security Control Center
Customization of logs and reports
Parameter to control external alarm transmitter
Modern development tools are available to the user for a detailed individualization in the form of customer-specific functions, evaluations and displays in HYDRA ZKS.
Access control in the environment of other MES applications
In contrast to classical access control systems, valuable synergies and benefits can be achieved when using HYDRA ZKS in conjunction with other HYDRA applications.
Further details

Integration into Time & Attendance
Joint use of HR master data
Transfer of collected identification data for the attendance recorder
