Leveraging RFID user authentication and access control for material handling equipment

Powered material handling equipment such as forklifts, cranes, scissor lifts and industrial trucks are expensive to buy and maintain. They also can be serious safety risks if untrained personnel are allowed to operate them. That’s why manufacturing, distribution and warehouse operations managers need easy, cost-effective solutions to restrict access to valuable and dangerous equipment. User authentication and access control systems ensure that only people with the proper training and authorization can operate equipment within the facility.
