We engineer solutions designed to tackle your toughest challenges, and we’re proud of our products’ consistent performance and seamless integration into existing management systems. 

EMX was thrilled to recently attend FENCETECH 2025, the annual convention and trade show of the American Fence Association, where we showcased the latest updates to our range of access control options. Read on to learn more about these innovative products and get in touch with us today to discuss how we can craft the ideal solution for you.

Our New and Notable Access Control Solutions

Photoeyes

Level up your access control solutions with our series of photoeyes, designed with the installer in mind. We have a variety of options, including thru-beam and retroreflective photoeyes, with a large operating range, from 30 feet to 115 feet in certain models. Our products offer comprehensive entrapment protection for all your doors, barriers, fences and gates because we understand the importance of safety and security.

Let’s highlight one of our models with a more expansive operating range of 115 feet: the IRB-MON2. Complete with UL325 monitoring, the IRB-MON2 features a thru-beam configuration and four monitoring interfaces. In addition, it has a removable terminal block that aids in seamless installation and wiring. Compatible with many operators, this product is a reliable and high-performing option.

Our updated IRB-MON2 also includes advanced features in a compact design and can be used in non-monitored applications using standard NC/NO contacts. This weather-proof photoeye solution is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, and its durable housing minimizes both fogging and false triggering — ensuring the ultimate protection. 

WEL-200

Another innovative access control option is our wireless edge link, recently upgraded to solve your biggest challenges. Our WEL-200 is compatible with NC, 10K and pulse-monitored outputs, and it has an impressively long operating life. In fact, it can run for up to two years on two AA lithium batteries, saving you money in the long run. 

This access control option is ideal for a seamless installation as there is no wiring between the safety edge and the operator control box. With an operating range of 200 feet and with multiple transmitter support, this is a durable solution that has your safety in mind. One of our newest and most advanced features with the WEL-200 is our new radio signal quality display that allows for quick assessment of connection strength, saving you both time and frustration. 

RFID Solutions

At EMX, we have a wide range of RFID solutions that can enhance your security. Designed for seamless integration into a variety of access control components, our RFID options offer comprehensive solutions to meet your access control needs. Let’s take a closer look at some of our RFID products:

  • RFID Credentials and Tags: We have a range of custom hang tags and metal mount tags that offer reliable methods for access control. Visible but non-obstructive, these options, like our windshield tags and headlamp tags, are perfect for identification, toll collection, parking management and more. These RFID tags are user-friendly and reliable solutions.  
  • Long-Range UHF RFID Reader: We have a variety of high-performance long-range UHF RFID readers, including the Patriot-E, a circular polarized RFID reader, and our Patriot-L, a linear polarized RFID reader, both with a read range of 18-25 feet. With options for ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, this is a versatile and reliable RFID reader option. 

You can also consider combining different options, like our Patriot series with the Defender, which is a door controller with a 4-relay output that can control four different access points. Combining solutions can help you achieve remote access and boost performance.
