How BER Executive Hub Upgraded Access Security with Evolis Primacy 2

Executive Summary

Client: BER Executive Hub (International Corporate & Visitor Center)

Application: Visitor Management, Employee Badges, and Temporary Access Pass Issuance

Challenge: High daily visitor volume requiring rapid issuance, enhanced badge durability, and strict access security compliance.

Solution: Evolis Primacy 2 Dual-Side Card Printer with Rewritable Printing & Advanced Encoding Modules

Key Benefits: 30% faster issuance during peak hours, lower operational cost via rewritable technology, and zero security vulnerabilities.

Background & Challenge

BER Executive Hub manages hundreds of daily employee arrivals, VIP guests, contractors, and temporary service personnel. Their legacy printing system suffered from frequent bottlenecks during morning check-ins and generated unnecessary plastic waste from single-use visitor badges.

They required a robust, future-proof solution that could:

Handle high-volume daily printing without software or hardware downtime.

Support eco-friendly rewritable card technology for short-term visitor passes.

Integrate dual-sided color printing with advanced chip encoding for employee security control.

Solution: The Evolis Primacy 2 Upgrade

To address these operational demands, BER Executive Hub deployed a fleet of Evolis Primacy 2 printers across all front-desk reception terminals and security checkpoints.

Implementation & Results

1. Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective Visitor Passes

By utilizing the rewritable card mode on the Evolis Primacy 2, temporary badges are printed, erased, and updated with new visitor details upon checkout. This eliminated the need for disposable badges, reducing consumable spending by over 40% annually.

2. High-Speed Employee Onboarding

With printing speeds of up to 280 cards per hour (single-sided color), new staff and contractors receive personalized access cards in under 15 seconds, virtually eliminating queue times at the security registry.

3. Maximum Security Integration

Equipped with magnetic stripe and contact/contactless IC chip encoders, each badge produced by Primacy 2 links directly to the facility’s turnstiles and elevator control systems, ensuring access control compliance.

Client Feedback

"The Primacy 2 has transformed our site security operations. The print clarity is exceptional, but more importantly, the speed and rewritable capabilities allow us to manage peak visitor traffic smoothly while staying committed to our sustainability goals."
