KeyGuard Control©

Replace passwords with RFID key fobs for faster, simpler machine logins. KeyGuard Control gives your team instant, role-based access.

KeyGuard Control© upgrades conventional HMI login systems with fast, secure RFID access. Manage users and permissions directly from the touchscreen.

On-Screen Control: What Your Team Can Do at the Machine

HID key fob representing secure, role-based machine access with KeyGuard Control. All the KeyGuard Control functions run through the machine’s built-in touchscreen—no external software, no third-party access points. This is where operators, supervisors, and technicians interact with the system in real time.

Here’s what your team can manage on the HMI:

  • User Registration: Add, remove, or edit users by assigning RFID machine fobs. Organize by individual name or job function for fast, flexible management.
  • Custom Role Permissions: Decide exactly who can start the machine, change settings, or access logs—directly from the HMI. This replaces outdated HMI login screens and eliminates shared passwords.
  • Real-Time Event Logs: Access a full, time-stamped history of machine activity, including alerts, setting changes, and user actions. Tap any event to see details like who made the change and what was updated.
  • One-Touch Logout & Inactivity Timeout: Operators can log out instantly, or the system will auto-logout after a period of inactivity—both fully configurable through the touchscreen.

This hands-on access gives your floor team the control they need, without slowing things down or relying on IT for support.

FAQ: How KeyGuard Control Improves Machine Access

Here’s a quick look at how KeyGuard Control improves security, access, and day-to-day performance.

How is this better than a typical login system?

KeyGuard Control uses secure RFID fobs instead of passwords, making access faster, more accurate, and easier to manage across shifts.

What happens if someone loses their fob?

You can deactivate a lost fob and assign a new one instantly—no downtime, no loss of user data.

Can I customize how access works?

Yes. You can configure how the system handles failed logins, inactivity timeouts, and sensitive changes, so access control fits your team’s workflow.

How does it help with troubleshooting?

Every event log links directly to the parameter that was changed. Tap to view, confirm, and fix—no digging through menus.

Is it built for industrial use?

Definitely. This is a rugged RFID machine interface designed to handle heat, moisture, and heavy daily use. It also utilizes standard RFID access control protocols, meaning it can work with most existing access control solutions already in your facility. You can even use your existing fobs for machine access, streamlining implementation.

What kind of oversight does it offer?

Supervisors can see exactly who accessed the machine and what actions they took. With RFID for login on packaging machines, audits and reviews are faster and more reliable.
