Portable Badge Reader for Mustering Staff with Battery Pack and Cellular Connectivity

The Ultimate Portable Muster Station: Connectivity Anywhere, Accountability Everywhere.

Whether at a remote construction site, a sprawling music festival, or an emergency evacuation point, knowing exactly who is on-site isn't just a logistical requirement; it's a safety mandate. When the grid goes down or the location is "off-map," a solution is required to replace traditional wall-mounted badge readers.

Introducing our Portable Muster & Access Case. Built into a hardened portable carrying case, this self-contained, battery-powered solution brings enterprise-grade personnel tracking to the most challenging environments.

Engineered for the Field

We didn't just put a reader in a box; we engineered a mobile command center for personnel data. At the heart of the case is the Ericsson R980 cellular router. This industrial-grade gateway provides internet connectivity via the 5G cellular network. This high-speed data pipe ensures your badge reader stays synced with your cloud software in real-time.

The case is equipped with a high-capacity, rechargeable internal battery with BMS (battery management system) protection and an integrated battery monitor. The live display shows the voltage and remaining charge, so you'll never have to guess your remaining runtime.

A ruggedized badge reader is flush-mounted directly into the custom mid-panel, providing a seamless "tap-and-go" experience for staff, even while wearing gloves.

Key Features

• Mobile card reader system provides instant validation of credentials against your central database for real-time reporting.
• High-speed 4G/5G connectivity (R980 or your choice of router) ensures real-time cloud sync and remote management.
• Total portability with no external power or hardwired internet required. Open the lid and start mustering staff.
• The integrated battery monitor displays voltage and remaining charge, preventing unexpected downtime.
• Rugged IP67 case offers crushproof and dustproof protection for sensitive electronics.

Versatile Applications

Our Portable Muster Case is designed for any scenario where personnel accountability is non-negotiable and infrastructure is nonexistent. Designed for rapid deployment, the system integrates high-performance networking with a ruggedized power plant to ensure 100% accountability in "zero-infrastructure" zones.

New Facility Onboarding and "Day One" Security. When a new office building or warehouse is completed, there is often a "gap" period during which staff need to move in before the permanent security system and fiber lines are operational. Our case serves as a Pre-Live Security Gateway, enabling firms to badge in employees and contractors from day one. It provides a seamless transition to the permanent system by using the same cloud credentials that staff will eventually use on the wall-mounted readers.

Emergency Mustering & Life Safety. In the event of an evacuation at a chemical plant or industrial facility, staff can gather at designated "safe zones" far from the main building. This case allows safety officers to scan badges instantly, providing a real-time "missing persons" list to first responders within seconds.

Remote Construction & Mining. Tracking time and attendance at remote sites often relies on manual logs, which are prone to errors. Our case provides a "digital gate" at the edge of the job site, ensuring every subcontractor is logged and verified against safety certifications.

Large-Scale Event Management. From music festivals to outdoor sporting events, managing thousands of staff and volunteers across square miles of parkland is a nightmare. Deploy these cases at staff check-in points or catering tents to monitor labor hours and access levels without laying a single foot of cable.

Disaster Recovery & Humanitarian Aid. When a storm or wildfire destroys infrastructure, our case provides a reliable way to register and track aid workers and volunteers, ensuring only authorized personnel enter high-risk zones.

Reliability Without Compromise

The Portable Muster Case eliminates the "connectivity gap." By combining the ruggedness of Nanuk, the intelligence of Ericsson, and the flexibility of battery power, we've created a tool that ensures your most valuable asset—your people—are always accounted for.

Stop relying on paper logs and spotty Wi-Fi. Bring the cloud to the field.
