Frequently asked questions

Typically, RFID card readers of access control systems are hardware based. Most vendors of RFID card readers have their own custom hardware that need to be purchased and installed, burdening the customers with a heavy cost upfront. OLOID’s smart reader is a mobile application that can be installed in off the shelf, standard, iOS, Android, and Linux devices. You can purchase an Enterprise Grade hardware such as iOS/Android tablets, smartphones, Linux devices or repurpose an existing one. You are not locked in with a custom hardware.

OLOID primarily supports two out of the box use cases:
  • Access Control
  • Time and Attendance
Both use cases have multimodal authentication, conditional authorization, built-in integrations. Other use cases include checking into workstation, occupancy management etc.
Most vendors require rip and replacement of the readers on the doors and controllers in the closet. However, with OLOID, you can modernize your physical access control by leveraging existing hardware and physical access control systems. For Access Control, the app communicates with your existing PACS system over an IP Wiegand converter.
These are the cost drivers for the OLOID Smart Reader:
  • Off-the-shelf hardware that is purchased by the customer. Please refer to the list of pre-tested certified Enterprise Grade hardware for reference.
  • Enclosure for the hardware that is purchased by the customer. OLOID can recommend enclosures based on our learnings from hundreds of deployments in various indoor and outdoor locations.
  • Subscription cost per user/door depending on the use case.
OLOID Smart Reader natively integrates with Workflow Builder which is a no-code/low-code PACS automation engine that allows businesses to create and drag-n-drop business rules to automate day-to-day security, safety and business operations.

OLOID ensures that the user data is stored and managed as per a robust consent-based privacy framework. OLOID complies with the leading regulations and most stringent legal jurisdictions to minimize compliance risks.
