Mobile credentials, or the use of smartphones or other mobile devices to access secure areas, are increasingly considered as an alternative to traditional keycards and ID badges in schools. However, while mobile credentials offer several advantages, such as convenience and cost savings, there are also potential drawbacks to their use. To help aid schools in improving safety measures, let us explore the pros and cons of using mobile credentials for school safety and explain why it is important to always have multiple options in place.
Andrew Schonzeit, President of Idesco Corporation speaks exclusively to SJA about what's on the cards for the ID badging industry
As we transition to a new year, what trends will continue to follow us into 2024 and what changes can we expect?
Idesco introduced degradable ID badges in 2023 that are growing in popularity. We feel the market is moving toward eco-friendly cards and we will see more of them in 2024.
ID cards increase your healthcare organization’s security by properly identifying doctors, nurses, staff, visitors, patients, vendors, contractors, and more. They can also help you streamline operations. In today’s uncertain healthcare environment, providers are searching for answers to a few questions:
A well-thought-out healthcare ID card solution helps you answer each of the above. When everyone in your facility wears an ID badge, you know instantly and at a glance who belongs and who doesn’t. Use ID cards to visually distinguish medical professionals and staff from patients and visitors.
Large-scale events, including both corporate and sporting events, are coming back strongly in the aftermath of the pandemic. With the increase in activity comes more demand for oversized credentials preferred by many event planners and end users.
Are you still using the old-fashioned paper log to track your visitors and issuing adhesive "Hello, my name is..." badges to guests? First impressions are everything. Make your company’s first impression professional with an innovative, electronic visitor management system.
You cannot guarantee security when anyone can enter your facility. And in case of fire or another emergency, first responders need to know how many people are on-site. Sometimes you need to know who visited your facility in the past. A visitor management system lets you look back in your records and identify all visitors on a certain date and time.
From hosting a conference to inviting your clients to a golf outing, companies use events to get their brand front and foremost. Corporate events are a great tool to build unique relationships with your customers while making a lasting impression on them. In addition, have you discovered the benefits of tradeshows? Not only can you test new products at trade shows, but you get access to a large population of your ideal customers which results in a lower cost per sale.
What is the common denominator between all these different types of events? Your attendees, staff and sponsors will all need badges. And as the event planner, you will need an easy way to print these badges on demand. This white paper helps you determine the types of badges you need and the best way to produce them. We will look at customization, efficiency, and convenience when considering an oversized ID card printer for your next event.

“Event Security” has become a common term over the past decade. Most people can’t walk into a concert or sporting event, for instance, without having their bags searched or body frisked to check for unauthorized items. The main focus has been on “the search,” but what about identifying if the person really belongs there in the first place?
