Equipment-level access control for shops, labs, makerspaces, and core facilities
CardTap's ControlTap™ hardware physically interlocks each piece of equipment, so a machine only powers on for a user you've trained and authorized. The CardTap Portal handles the rest: certifications, scheduling, and usage reports, all from any browser.

ControlTap Console: the hardware interlock on every machine
If you're the one who approves training, fields after-hours requests, and answers for equipment misuse, CardTap was designed for you.
A machine won't start for anyone who hasn't completed the training you require. No signage, no honor system.
Extend shop hours without extending staff hours. Access rules follow the user and the machine, not the room.
Every session ties a user to a machine with timestamps. When something breaks or gets misused, you know who and when.
Timestamped certification and usage records back you up in safety audits, usage billing, and budget justification.
Physical control at the machine, managed from the cloud.
A user taps their badge at the ControlTap Console mounted on the equipment.
Certifications, schedules, and permissions are verified in the cloud in real time.
The interlock releases and the machine powers on. Usage is recorded until the user taps out.
