Construction site ID card Product information
RFID cards with sleeve and clip, customized for your project. Every badge is assigned to a worker in the Bausicht online portal and works with all Bausicht hardware, from the turnstile to the time clock.
Configuration and features

Forgery-proof instead of copyable
Simple UID cards and MIFARE Classic can be copied in seconds with freely available devices. That is why Bausicht relies on MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3, the current industry standard for high-security contactless access cards.
MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3
The current industry standard for high-security access cards. MIFARE Classic, by contrast, has been cracked since 2008.
AES-128 encryption
All data between card and reader is transmitted AES-encrypted. The same standard is also used in banking.
Card-specific keys
Every card receives a unique AES key, derived from the chip serial number using a documented industry procedure.
Encrypted all the way to the server
A fully encrypted communication chain from the card read through to processing on the server.
Mutual authentication
Card and reader both prove their identity before any data flows. A fake reader gets nothing, a fake badge does not get through.
Security module in every device
The desk reader in the site office and the readers at the turnstile, barrier and time clock each have their own Secure Access Module (CC EAL6+). Nowhere on the site does a key lie unprotected in a device.
Master keys never leave the module
Even the encoding station no longer knows the master keys after setup. A stolen laptop with printer set reveals no key.
Separate keys for site and issuing
The readers on the construction site only need part of the keys. The key used to issue new badges never lies on site.
Design your construction site ID cards yourself in the editor
With the ID card editor in the Bausicht online portal you design your construction site ID cards on your own, without a graphic designer. Place the profile photo, texts, company logo and QR code freely on the card, using either your own logo or the client’s.

Print construction site ID cards directly on the construction site
With the printer set you print your construction site ID cards yourself in the site office or directly in the container. You take the profile photo directly in Bausicht, using a laptop webcam or camera. Printing only happens once all of the worker's documents have been approved, so no one without complete documentation receives a badge.

No. Bausicht relies on MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 with AES-128 encryption. Every card receives a unique, card-specific AES key that is derived from the chip serial number using a documented industry procedure. Card and reader authenticate each other before any data flows. The master keys sit in Secure Access Modules (CC EAL6+) built into every reader, from the desk reader to the turnstile, and never leave the module. Simple UID cards and MIFARE Classic, by contrast, are insecure and can be copied with freely available devices.
In the ID card editor of the Bausicht online portal you design your badges yourself: place the profile photo, texts, company logo and QR code freely on the card. This gives every project and every company its own card layout, without any graphic designer.
Yes, with the printer set you print badges directly in the site office or container. It includes a high-quality construction site ID card printer, 2x color ribbons, a cleaning kit and a USB card reader with integrated security module. The printer connects via USB. To activate cards you install the Bausicht Bridge once, a small helper program for Chrome and Edge on Windows and macOS. Everything else runs in the browser. New workers receive their personalized badge in a matter of minutes.
You take the profile photo directly in the Bausicht interface, either with the laptop webcam or an external camera. No separate photo software is needed.
Yes. Workers, including their badges, can be transferred to new construction sites. For security reasons, transferred badges are initially blocked there and are unblocked once. This works remotely, without the person having to come by in person. A badge can also be re-issued to another person: the card is simply rewritten, the chip stays the same. This saves cost and material.
For spontaneous visitors there are reusable, pre-printed visitor and day passes. They are assigned in the portal to a person, company and time, with an expiry date if desired. After the badge is returned, the assignment ends; the history is kept for reports.
The badges work with all Bausicht hardware: turnstile, barrier, registration pillar and time clock. Your own turnstiles and barriers can usually be connected as well. Find out more at Retrofitting your own hardware.
