The emergence of IoT (Internet of Things) technology in security systems has been a seismic shift in the security paradigm, transforming the way we perceive and approach security challenges. The integration of IoT in security systems has significantly enhanced the functionality, performance, and efficiency of these systems.  With the ability to analyze and act upon real-time data, IoT-enabled security systems offer an unprecedented level of security intelligence and situational awareness, making them a valuable tool in mitigating potential threats.

Access control security systems that leverage IoT technology employ advanced protocols to authenticate users and ensure secure access to restricted areas through multi-factor authentication security measures. These sensors utilize complex cryptographic algorithms and machine learning models to accurately authenticate users, making access control more efficient and secure. The captured data is processed in real time, with the IoT device comparing the data to a secure database of authorized users to determine whether access should be granted.

Criticalities in manufacturing access readers

Access reader security systems are complex electronic devices that are used to control access to secure information and assets. Despite their sophisticated security mechanisms, these systems can be vulnerable to attack if they are not designed and manufactured with meticulous attention to detail. Manufacturing criticalities, which refer to potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities in the manufacturing process, can compromise the security and integrity of these systems, making them susceptible to unauthorized access, tampering, or exploitation. To mitigate these challenges, it is crucial to implement rigorous security protocols and adhere to strict quality control measures throughout the manufacturing process to ensure that the security systems are robust, reliable, and capable of protecting sensitive information and assets.

Product requirement of the client

A cutting-edge technology firm with a paramount emphasis on sophisticated and contactless access control security systems was looking for a manufacturing partner for streamlining the product development phase of their access reader. With specialized expertise in the field of product development along with a profound understanding of the intricate and multifaceted nature of the journey, Karkhana.io is an ideal partner to facilitate rapid and scalable production maintaining a competitive edge in the market.

The task of manufacturing mullion-style access readers is complicated by the intricate integration of multiple touchless access methods and variable frequency options. To meet the demands of such complexity, it is of utmost importance to allocate an adequate volume of space for accommodating the myriad of device components while still providing ample space for any forthcoming updates or modifications. Striking a balance between accommodating the present and anticipating the future is crucial in ensuring the device’s adaptability and future-proofing capabilities.

Reshaping product development cycle from prototyping to production with manufacturing solutions of Karkhana.io 

The product development of access reader security systems involved a multidisciplinary approach encompassing several stages, including design, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing to meet the requirement of customers and regulatory bodies. The manufacturing team of Karkhana.io received the design details of the enclosure along with the integrated unsealed control board equipped with interfacing connector requirements. A significant emphasis on the overall communication protocol, transmission technology, and Weigand compatibility was taken into consideration during the development of the overall system architecture.

The design phase involved a thorough analysis of the system’s intended use, architecture, and security requirements with a deep understanding of the underlying technologies and the potential threats and risks that the system may face. Once the design of the enclosure was finalized, the card readers were 3D printed with ABS material to check the functional and usability testing in order to comply with the necessary performance and security requirements.

After validating the prototypes, the access readers were then manufactured through injection moulding and then assembled by sourcing the necessary electronic components as per the specifications of the design. During manufacturing, quality control measures are implemented to ensure that the product meets the required standards for performance, security, and reliability.

Karkhana.io is equipped with a wide network of vetted suppliers highly specialized in manufacturing such complex requirements adhering to the regulatory quality standards which enabled the client to expedite and streamline the entire manufacturing process in a hassle-free manner.

The access readers were then subjected to extensive testing to identify and mitigate any potential security vulnerabilities or performance issues. This involved scrutiny through the surface mount and automated optical inspection, penetration, and fuzz testing of the system exacting the security standards.

The swift and decisive action to refine designs, test prototypes, and source materials with precision and agility enabled the client to achieve substantial savings without compromising the quality or performance.
