Company cars and motorized industrial trucks such as forklifts, cranes or scissor lifts are important helpers, especially in the manufacturing industry—but their use also involves risks. If they are operated by untrained personnel, the safety of people, machines and inventory is at risk. It is therefore essential for companies to ensure that only authorized and trained personnel have access to the equipment. In the course of this, maximum transparency is required with regard to the time and duration of use. At the same time, the security of drivers’ personal data must be guaranteed.

Secure and easy-to-use authentication solutions via radio frequency identification (RFID) or near field communication (NFC) or Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) can help overcome these challenges. For example, the existing employee ID card or smartphone is sufficient to ensure reliable, secure and convenient authentication at all times and to track employee usage behavior.
