LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 24, 2007 – Honeywell (NYSE:HON) announced today that it
is providing enhanced capabilities to its access control platform by launching
Badge Manager 2.0. Badge Manager 2.0 is a component of the fully integrated
Honeywell Vindicator Security Solutions suite and is compatible with the V5
Access Control System (ACS).
The V5 ACS is an embedded server that enables access control to mission
critical facilities on an enterprise-wide scale while providing industry-leading
capabilities such as biometrics, smart-card credentials, and FIPS-compliant
readers.
Badge Manager 2.0 expands the existing capabilities of badge template design,
photo badge creation and management, and it synchronizes with the V5 ACS
database. It provides an intuitive graphical user interface that creates,
configures and assigns access control entry rules to personnel and locations,
including schedules of operation for those credentials. Additionally, it allows
the designation of a visitor’s status and assignment to an existing badgeholder
as an escort. It also provides administrators with a clear, quick view of their
system, enabling more efficient system management and administration.
Badge Manager 2.0 offers Vindicator customers a graphical user interface for
the configuration and assignment of locations and personnel in the existing
Vindicator photo badging platform. Its primary intent is to significantly reduce
the time system administrators spend managing their access control systems.
“We are responding to customer input and feedback by delivering additional
tools that enable customers to better utilize our security products and
solutions,” said John Waldron, marketing manager for Honeywell Vindicator
Security Solutions. “This version of Badge Manager represents another step
forward in our efforts to make our solutions easier to deploy and more
user-friendly for everyday use.”
Badge Manager 2.0 and the V5 ACS will be on display at ASIS International
2007 in Las Vegas.
