A system for entrance permit control is configured to monitor individuals in an entrance region that includes an entrance to a restricted area. The system performs a monitoring method to enable a seamless entrance experience for the individuals. The system receives a stream of digital images of the entrance region, and processes the received stream of digital images for detection of a machine-readable code, MRC, displayable on an entrance permit carried by an individual in the entrance region. The system further tracks, based on the received stream of digital images, a location of the MRC within the entrance region, initiates a validation of the MRC, and provides, in dependence of the validation and position data generated by the tracking, a visual indication of a result of the validation on at least one of the entrance permit and the individual.

Entrance permit control

An electronic device includes a memory circuitry, an interface circuitry, and a processor circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to determine prioritization data associated with the one or more access control devices. The processor circuitry is configured to control, based on the prioritization data, at least one of the one or more access control devices.

Electronic device, an access control device, and related methods

A server device is provided, the server device comprising a processing circuitry, a memory circuitry, an interface circuitry configured to connect to a communication network. The server device is configured to obtain machine data indicative of one or more features of a machine. The machine is configured to be powered by a battery device. The server device is configured to obtain usage data indicative of a usage of the machine. The server device is configured to obtain, for one or more battery devices, battery data indicative of one or more battery parameters of a battery device. The server device is configured to determine, for the one or more battery devices, a predicted impact on the one or more battery parameters based on the battery data, the usage data, and the machine data.

Server devices, machines, battery devices and methods for managing usage of one or more battery devices

A system with a wireless communication device and one or more wearable communication devices utilizing Body coupled communication, BCC, technology for managing digital keys to a lock. The key management system comprises a wireless communication device and at least one wearable communication device, for managing digital keys, wherein the wireless communication device and the wearable communication device are Body Coupled Communication, BCC, enabled. The method comprises receiving, in the wireless communication device, one or more digital keys to a lock from an external server, detecting, in the wireless communication device, one or more wearable communication devices using BCC, sending, using BCC, the one or more digital keys from the wireless communication device to the detected one or more wearable communication devices and receiving, using BCC, the one or more digital keys from the wireless communication device in the one or more wearable communication devices, thereby enabling the wearable communication device to open the lock.
