What is S2 Access Control and how to use it?

Access control lets you limit vehicle usage to authorized workers using a QR code badge or unique PIN. It also lets you disable a vehicle in case of an impact.

What is S2 Access Control?

S2 Access Control allows you to prevent unauthorized access of your Forklift. This feature allows you to see whose information was entered/which operator tried to access your asset. This can help you keep a track of all the operators. One can only operate the vehicle if they have an authorized work badge or unique PIN. 

With every entry Siera keeps a record and verify the information that was entered, this allows you to see which operator was accessing which vehicle at a certain point of time.
