United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI), the global leader in equipment rental services, has announced the launch of its next-generation access management solution. This advanced system, utilizing RFID badges, seamlessly oversees jobsite and equipment access, fostering enhanced safety, security and productivity for construction operations.
The next-generation access management system can be seamlessly integrated with various third-party workforce management solutions that facilitate worker registration and issuance of RFID badges for site entry. Once linked, workers are authenticated at jobsite turnstiles and vehicle access control points. United Rentals offers this cutting-edge access management solution for rent as part of its comprehensive site mobilization package, encompassing fencing, restrooms, offices, and temporary power. The RFID badge serves a dual purpose by also facilitating equipment access management, utilizing access control keypads, creating a streamlined end-to-end access management solution. This new offering complements United Rentals’ existing PIN code-based equipment access solutions, already deployed on thousands of rental units.
“Our Next-Generation Access Management Solution connects workers and equipment to help our customers work more safely, productively and sustainably,” said Tony Leopold, Senior Vice President of Strategy & Digital, United Rentals. “We are differentiating our offerings by connecting and managing data from the world’s largest fleet of over 360K telematics-enabled pieces of equipment.”
United Rentals' Total Control® (https://www.unitedrentals.com/services/online-services/total-control) cloud-based worksite management platform links jobsite access with equipment access management through user profile data. Administrators can easily upload user information from workforce management systems, granting access to specific equipment or equipment category classes. Real-time and historical insights into equipment usage are also accessible to users.
“Access management has become a key component of jobsite safety and productivity, especially as we see projects and teams growing larger and more complex,” said Mike Durand, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, United Rentals. “We’re committed to helping our customers Work United™ through innovative solutions like Access Management.”
