Access solution for conveyor systems

A network node for determining an access right to a first entity of a first conveyor system, comprising:

• at least one memory including computer program code;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the computer program code to cause the network node to
• receive data representing an identity of a wireless key;
• and data representing a location of the wireless key,
• detect whether the wireless key resides in a first location,
• identify the first conveyor system and the first entity as a conveyor system and an entity proximate to the wireless key based on the data representing the location of the wireless key, the first conveyor system and the first entity being identified in response to detecting that the wireless key resides in the first location,
• determine a status of the first conveyor system,
• determine the access right based on the data representing the identity the wireless key, the access right corresponding to a right of the wireless key to provide access to the first entity,
• generate a control signal based on the status of the first conveyor system and the access right, the control signal causing
• a grant of access to the first entity, or
• a refusal of the access to the first entity.

A non-transitory computer program product storing instructions for determining an access right to a first entity of a first conveyor system which, when executed by at least one processor, cause a network node to perform a method, the method comprising:

• receiving data representing an identity of a wireless key and data representing a location of the wireless key;
• detecting whether the wireless key resides in a first location;
• identifying the first conveyor system and the first entity as a conveyor system and entity proximate to the wireless key based on the data representing the location of the wireless key, the identifying the first conveyor system and the first entity being performed in response to detecting that the wireless key resides in the first location;
• determining a status of the first conveyor system,
• determining the access right based on the date representing the identity the wireless key, the access right corresponding to a right of the wireless key to provide access to the first entity;
• and
• generating a control signal based on the status of the first conveyor system and the access right, the control signal causing
• a grant of access to the first entity, or
• a refusal of the access to the first entity.
