We developed FabAccess to simplify the operation of makerspaces.
FabAccess is a resource management system optimized for the use of machines in FabLabs, Makerspaces, Hackerspaces and other open workshops.
Our focus is on increasing the safety of machine use while giving users fair access to all these devices.
For FabLabs:
When operating open workshops, you have the possibility to keep an eye on all the equipment, because your users can use only those devices for which they have received instruction.
You get an overview of when which device was used and can plan and distribute your resources more efficiently.
Keep track of all operations in your workshop and create a safe and efficient working environment.
For Users:
Explore your makerspace again, because you get an overview of all the machines in it.
Check out which machines you can already use and where you can still expand your skills.
You will have the opportunity to check the current utilization of the machines and better organize your working time.
What already works now:
Manage machines
Manage the machines so that users can use them
Roles and permissions

Control actuators
Automatic unlocking of machines and other hardware, when used by users
Customize processes
All processes can be represented via embeddable scripts, the API and the audit log.
What comes next:
NFC cards and tags
Lending machines with NFC card and
selecting machines with NTAGs
Works already now, but with some limitations
Billing
Create invoices according to
machine usage time or material consumption
Locking systems
Opening doors or lockers
and similar devices
