Access control in manufacturing regulates who can access specific areas, equipment, or information within the facility, ensuring only authorized personnel are allowed. It enhances security, promotes workplace safety, ensures regulatory compliance, and provides accountability through detailed activity logs.

Protect your people, equipment, and operations with a manufacturing access control and security system built to handle the complex demands of industrial environments. Our solutions safeguard staff and high-value machinery, restrict access to critical areas, and prevent equipment tampering, all while maintaining operational efficiency and supporting compliance with industry regulations like GMP, ISO, or FDA standards.
That’s where ICT comes in.
Increased Productivity and Operator Safety
Streamline movement throughout your manufacturing facility while ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to the right areas and equipment. This includes specific machinery, where, for example, a worker can insert their access card into a TSL card holder to automatically activate the machine if they are authorized, promoting both efficiency and safety.
Meet Compliance with Built-In Audit Trails
Industries like pharmaceuticals, food production, and aerospace must meet strict regulations like FDA, GMP, or ISO standards. Protege GX goes beyond simply monitoring staff movement — it records both real-time and historic user activity while generating detailed reports to support audit or compliance.
Scalable, Future-proofed Security Solutions
Designed to grow alongside your manufacturing operations, ICT Protege adapts to your facility’s expanding needs. Whether you’re adding new production lines, access points, or entire facilities, our system scales seamlessly to match your growth —no matter how large your operation becomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is access control in manufacturing, and why is it important?
How does access control improve safety in manufacturing facilities?
Access control improves safety in manufacturing facilities by ensuring only authorized and trained personnel can access hazardous areas or operate dangerous machinery. This reduces the risk of accidents, prevents equipment misuse, and helps maintain a secure and controlled environment for workers.
How do door interlocking systems work in manufacturing environments?
Door interlocking systems in manufacturing ensure that only one door in a controlled area can be opened at a time. This prevents unauthorized access, maintains environmental conditions (e.g., cleanrooms), and enhances safety by restricting simultaneous entry to sensitive or hazardous areas.
Can ICT’s systems support regulatory compliance for industries like food or pharmaceuticals?
Yes. ICT’s solutions help meet GMP, FDA, and ISO standards by maintaining detailed access logs, audit trails, and real-time monitoring to support regulatory requirements.
Can your solution integrate with our existing systems like time and attendance or HR platforms?
Yes. ICT systems offer flexible integration capabilities with a wide range of third-party platforms, including HR, payroll, and operational tools.
