Hospital

A working factory floor runs on people, machinery, and materials moving constantly — which is exactly where safety and asset visibility tend to break down. Here’s how four Collie modules combine into one system across a typical industrial deployment.

The Sites

A floor that never fully stops

 a production floor, a materials warehouse, a loading dock, and a mix of permanent staff and rotating contractors moving through all three. Forklifts and mobile equipment shift constantly. Air quality varies between enclosed process areas and open dock doors. PPE rules apply everywhere, but no one can watch every worker on every shift.
This is the profile Collie is built for: not a single problem to solve, but several running in parallel, on the same site, at the same time.

The challenge

What was breaking down before

Each user type gets its own registration flow and its own default access rules — set once, applied consistently.

Asset & Equipment Tracking

PPE Compliance

Incident Response

What’s inside

Registration, grouping, history

Three capabilities that apply across all three user types, each configured to fit the population.

facial recognition

Type-specific registration

Each user type has its own intake form, approval path, and default access rules — no generic one-form-fits-all sign-up.

Grouping

Organise people into teams, projects, contractors, or departments, then manage access permissions at the group level.

Self Registration

Access history

Every entry and exit is logged per person, searchable by name, type, group, or location — the record you need when something needs answering.

Expiring access

Worker and visitor access can be set to expire automatically at the end of an assignment or visit window — no manual clean-up needed.

How it flows

Register. Authenticate. Log.

The same loop, whether it’s a visitor’s first visit or a staff member’s five-hundredth.

01

Register

A visitor or new staff member self-registers, is routed for approval, and gets assigned to the locations they’re cleared to enter.

02

Authenticate

At the gate, face or card is verified against the assignment. No match, no clearance — the turnstile simply doesn’t open.

03

Log

Every pass becomes a timestamped record — feeding attendance reports, occupancy limits, and incident investigations.

This module already runs on Collie robots

The same face-and-card authentication that guards your turnstiles also rides on the Collie robot fleet — letting a patrol unit badge itself through the same gates your staff use, no separate system required.

Where it’s deployed

Built for sites with real traffic

Access Control Management is built as a single feature set — software that decides who goes where, hardware that enforces it.

Offices

Cardless door access and self-service visitor sign-in with full attendance reporting.

Industrial Sites

Worker and visitor access history tied to on-site safety and PPE compliance

Hospital

Staff and patient access control, with sterile-zone entry restricted to cleared personnel.

Construction

Visitor and worker access monitoring across gates that change by project phase.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are these robots fully autonomous?

They can operate autonomously or semi-autonomously with human supervision depending on use case.

Can systems integrate with existing infrastructure?

Yes, our platforms are designed for seamless integration with enterprise systems.

What industries are suitable?

Construction, healthcare, aviation, manufacturing, security, and more.
