Control Crews, Contractors & Critical Areas – Without the Key Chaos

Mining and logistics environments are in constant motion – shift crews, contractors, FIFO staff, visitors and drivers. UniFi Access gives you clear control and auditability over who can get where, and when.

Lose the Bundles of Keys & Generic Swipe Cards

Keys and generic cards are hard to control on large sites. Move to per-person credentials for crews, contractors and visitors you can revoke in seconds when roles or contracts change.

Per-person credentials, not shared keys
Easy to remove access at end of contract or swing
Supports cards, fobs and mobile credentials

Secure Workshops, Compounds & Critical Rooms

Restrict access to workshops, laydown areas, HV rooms, control rooms, stores, fuel bays and other critical spaces based on role, crew and shift pattern.

Different access for operations, maintenance, stores & admin
Stronger controls on high-risk/high-value zones
Support for vendor and OEM technician access

Control Perimeter Gates, Turnstiles & Yards

Tie site entry, boom gates, turnstiles and yard doors into the same access system, aligned with your visitor, contractor and delivery processes.

Gate and turnstile access linked to identity
Better management of heavy vehicle and courier access
Supports pre-approved contractors and bookings

Access by Role, Site & Shift

Give operations, maintenance, supervisors, safety, stores, contractors and visitors different access profiles that match where and when they work on site.

Role-based door and gate groupings
Shift and roster-based scheduling
Temporary access for shutdowns and projects

Strong Audit Trails for HSE & Investigations

Door and gate logs show who accessed which area and when. Combined with UniFi Protect CCTV, you get clear evidence to support incident reviews, investigations and audits.

Per-credential access history by door/gate
Supports incident, theft and HSE investigations
Helps demonstrate robust access controls to clients

Mines, Ports, Depots & Remote Facilities

Manage doors and gates across multiple mines, ports, depots and logistics yards from a single interface. Apply consistent standards while keeping local flexibility where needed.

Central policies with site-level overrides
Move crews between sites with controlled access
Support for head office and HSE oversight

Map UniFi Access to Real Mining & Logistics Door & Gate Zones

We don’t just add readers to a few doors. We map access control to how your operation flows – from perimeter and yards, through workshops and crib rooms, to control rooms and offices.

Perimeter, Yards & Entry Points

Site entries, boom gates, turnstiles, laydown areas, loading bays and truck yards.

Control who can enter the site and when
Align access with sign-in and induction processes
Integrate with cameras watching entries and yards

Workshops, Stores & Operational Areas

Workshops, parts stores, HV rooms, control rooms, sample labs and process-adjacent spaces.

Stronger controls for high-risk and high-value areas
Different access for operations vs. maintenance vs. OEM techs
Visibility of who accessed what, and when

Crib Rooms, Offices & Accommodation

Crib rooms, lunch rooms, admin offices, shift supervisor rooms, villages and camp facilities.

Separate worker, supervisor and visitor access
Better control over village and office entry after hours
Support for duty-of-care and safety requirements

One Mining & Logistics Security Stack: Access at the Centre

The real power of UniFi on industrial and logistics sites comes when door and gate control is tied into CCTV, network, Wi-Fi and audio – one ecosystem, not a patchwork of separate systems.

UniFi Access

Door, gate and turnstile controllers, readers and credentials for crews, contractors and visitors – who can get where, and when.

Role, site & shift-based access rules
Access logs for audits and investigations

UniFi Protect

CCTV that pairs camera views with door and gate events, so you can see exactly what happened when an area was accessed.

Link door/gate events to recorded footage
Supports security and HSE investigations

UniFi Network

PoE switching and routing that powers readers, controllers, cameras and audio, with proper network segmentation – including support for remote and harsh environments.

Secure VLANs for access, CCTV and OT
QoS for operational and SCADA-adjacent networks

UniFi Wi-Fi

Staff Wi-Fi, guest Wi-Fi and handheld/IoT devices, clearly separated from your security and operational networks.

Separate SSIDs for staff, contractors & guests
Supports mobile credentials for access

UniFi Audio

Yard, workshop, depot and crib-room announcements from the same UniFi platform – aligned with your emergency and operational procedures.

Zone-based announcements and alerts
Supports routine and emergency messaging

Designed for Industrial Sites

Door, gate and yard groupings based on how your operation actually runs – not generic office-style templates.

Security, Network & Remote Expertise

We’re an MSP and security integrator – so we design UniFi Access to work hand-in-hand with your network, CCTV, Wi-Fi, OT and remote links.

Ongoing Support, Not Just Install

Shutdowns, expansions, new compounds, new depots and changing contractor panels – we’re here as your long-term partner, not a one-off project vendor.

UniFi Access for Mining & Logistics – Common Questions

A few of the questions we hear most from WA mining and logistics clients moving away from keys, legacy swipe systems and disconnected access solutions.

Can UniFi Access integrate with our existing doors, gates and turnstiles?

In many cases, yes. We design a UniFi Access solution around your existing doors, locks, gates and turnstiles, adding controllers and readers where needed and aligning credentials with your site and contractor onboarding processes.

Are there ongoing licence fees for UniFi Access?

No. UniFi Access does not charge per-door or per-gate licence fees in the same way many traditional access systems do. Your main costs are the hardware and our design, installation and optional ongoing support and monitoring.

What happens if our internet or backhaul link goes down?

Doors and gates continue to operate using the local UniFi Access controller. You may temporarily lose cloud-based visibility or remote management, but on-site access rules continue to function so crews can still work safely.

Can we give different access to crews, supervisors, contractors and visitors?

Yes. We design access profiles for each group – operations, maintenance, supervisors, safety, stores, OEM technicians, contractors and visitors – with different doors, gates and times per role and site.

Can we link door and gate events with our UniFi CCTV cameras?

Yes. When we deploy UniFi Access together with UniFi Protect, we can align door and gate events with camera views so you can quickly pull footage of who accessed a zone at a particular time.

Ready to Modernise Access Control at Your Mining or Logistics Site?

Let’s review how people currently access your yards, workshops, compounds and accommodation and design a UniFi Access solution that’s safer, easier to manage and aligned with your CCTV, Wi-Fi, network and audio.
