Digital employee cards
for access and lunch.

An employee ID, an office access card and a simple way to register lunch. MyDesk’s six-colour digital E-Ink cards combine all three in a durable card you can reuse.

Workspaces and insights

A card for everyday life.
Ready to be used again.

Reuse instead of reprinting

Update the card when details change. The same card can be reused, including by a new employee.

Durable and modern

A durable card for everyday use, with the employee’s name, photo and company logo on a six-colour E-Ink display.

The image remains

Once the card is encoded, the E-Ink display uses no power to display the information. Power is only used when the display is updated.

A card for name and access

Use the card at the door.
Access with MiFare.

MyDesk's digital card can be used as both an employee card and a guest card. With the built-in MiFare chip, the card can also provide access to the office: hold the card up to the door reader and open the door.

The card must be compatible with your access system and set up with the relevant access rights. Employees and guests can then use the same card to both show who they are and gain access to the areas they are allowed to use.

The employee card in the canteen

Place the card on the reader.
Your lunch is registered.

With the MyDesk catering module, employees place their card on an NFC reader in the canteen. The registration appears on the MyDesk catering screen. Employees bringing a guest for lunch can add them on the touchscreen.

Good to know

An easier start.
Made simple.

What does six colours mean?

The card's E-Ink display can display six colours. It allows you to display a photo, name and logo in a unified card design.

Does the card use power all day?

No. The E-Ink display does not use power to keep the image visible once the card is encoded. The display uses power when the content is updated.

Can the card be used as an access card?

Yes. The card contains a MiFare chip which can be used for access control, for example to open doors. We clarify compatibility and setup with your access system.

How does the employee record lunch?

When the card is connected to the MyDesk catering module, the employee places it on the NFC reader in the canteen. The registration is then displayed on the MyDesk catering screen.

What do we do when an employee brings a guest?

After the employee's lunch registration, the guest can be added on the touchscreen in the canteen.

Can the card be used by a new employee?

Yes. The card's displayed information can be updated so that it can be used again. Access rights and association with the catering module must also be adjusted.
