MIFARE® conversion consultancy for PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara Client: Ruswin Indonesia

Newmont had made a strategic decision to use MIFARE® smart cards for access control.

Ruswin Indonesia (the security service provider to Newmont) contracted RedCrater Software Solutions to assist Newmont in making the best use of MIFARE® technology and to improve their access control systems.  This included:
1.    a plan for using MIFARE® technology to eliminate bar codes (which are unreliable and easily copied),
2.    a plan for structured and consolidated access control,
3.    design of an automated provisioning system, and
4.    recommendations on initiatives to improve card issuing.

This project involved on-site analysis, a comprehensive report and the supply of relevant technology (MIFARE® smart card readers and support).  The analysis involved fully understanding their ERP system (Mincom Ellipse), the use of their Cardax FT access control system and existing in-house access control and card management systems.  

From that, we formulated the strategy which was presented to Newmont as a formal report.

As Newmont adopted MIFARE® technology as a replacement for bar codes we supplied MIFARE® readers and development support to assist in the integration of that technology into Newmont’s systems.

Newmont now have the foundations for an integrated MIFARE® infrastructure and a clear road map for improved cardholder provisioning and management.
