The US Company Meeting Machines is a provider of meeting room displays. The development of a compact, integrated solution combines various functionalities such as occupancy display, scheduling, and contactless check-in via RFID in one unit.

Technically complex networking and visually unsightly installation of multiple devices such as touchscreen displays, LED pads and RFID readers are a thing of the past. Easy physical access for employees no matter which card technology their employee ID uses.

Challenges

  • The RFID reading/writing module has to support authentication for a wide range of different card technologies.
  • The slim design of the display only provides limited space for the RFID module.
  • The displays are used worldwide. Updates must be possible for both the display and the RFID module – without technicians being on site.

Solutions

Meeting Machines has found the ideal RFID reading/writing module for its multifunctional door display with the TWN4 MultiTech Nano: compact, high-performing, and durable.

  • ELATEC TWN4 MultiTech Nano reads more than 60 card technologies.
  • Its compact, slim and lightweight design makes it an excellent choice for OEM integration.
  • Thanks to remote programmability, updates can be conveniently installed from a distance.

TWN4 MultiTech Nano impresses with its compact design

The windows-based display is not only multi-functional, it also stands out with its modern, elegant, and slim design

The Windows-based display is not only multi-functional, it also stands out with its modern, elegant, and slim design. That allows it to meet specific requirements for the RFID module in terms of both performance and design and compactness.

Sheldon Downey, President of Meeting Machines, explains why the company opted for the TWN4 MultiTech Nano, “Our goal was to build a very high-quality, industrial-grade solution. We chose ELATEC to be the RFID provider not only because of the product quality and the high service level. It's very small size allowed us seamless and elegant integration of the module, which more than satisfied our design standards.”

An RFID module for a wide range of different card technologies

Most of Meeting Machines’ customer businesses use different types of employee IDs. That’s no problem for our TWN4 MultiTech Nano.

The high-performance RFID reading/writing module supports many different card technologies. Employees can continue to use their old IDs and will have no problem gaining physical access to meeting rooms. This eliminates the expensive replacement of employee IDs.

Results

  • The new display system from Meeting Machines is a total success. Thanks to RFID integration, meeting participants are quickly and easily authenticated and given physical access with their employee IDs.
  • Because the TWN4 MultiTech Nano is remotely programmable, Meeting Machines can transmit new functions and features to the door displays via remote access and eliminate expensive service calls.

Highest-level service and technical support

"It was more than our TWN4 MultiTech Nano RFID module that won over Meeting Machines – it was our outstanding service, too."

Fortune 1000 companies expect quality, design, and customer service. That is exactly what ELATEC offers. The superb ELATEC Support team was able to implement our firmware requirements in just a few hours. I’ve told our colleagues in production that I won’t even entertain any other options because ELATEC does such a great job,” says Sheldon Downey, President of Meeting Machines, in praising ELATEC.
