BadgeMaker Encode
Secure and flexible smart card encoding with BadgeMaker
Smart card encoding software plays a crucial role in secure access control. BadgeMaker Encode allows you to seamlessly encode data onto various smart card types, including MIFARE Classic, MIFARE Plus, DESFire, iCLASS, UHF Gen2, and proximity cards. This enables powerful ID and access control solutions.
Whether you’re managing employee access, member authentication, or multi-application cards, BadgeMaker PRO provides robust tools that are fully integrated into your card design and card print workflow.
BadgeMaker Encode
CCI File Editor: Build and customize your encoding templates.
At the core of BadgeMaker Encode is the CCI Editor. This tool allows you to create custom encoding templates that define how your data is structured on the smart card. You can define:
-
Card settings, including MAD sectors, access keys, and encryption formats
-
Applications and files for DESFire cards
-
Sector and block-level access rules for MIFARE Classic and Plus
-
User memory configuration for UHF Gen2 RFID tags
Each encoding file (CCI) can be linked to specific card designs, making it simple to encode personalized data when printing.
Dynamic & Static Data Binding
BadgeMaker Encode lets you bind both dynamic and static data to your encoding templates. Use fields like employee ID, department, and role, or configure fixed values directly in the template. You can also assign card serial numbers, use Wiegand encoding for legacy systems, and apply advanced settings like CRCs or bit-level control. The visual CCI-editor gives you a clear overview of how data is mapped on the card.
Support for NFC NDEF
BadgeMaker supports NDEF (NFC Data Exchange Format) for storing structured data on NFC cards. Store URLs, text (like names or departments), MIME content, or custom application data.
Stand-Alone Encoding
Need fast, on-the-spot encoding? BadgeMaker supports stand-alone operation: scan a card to match it with an existing record, update data, or encode a new card instantly. Perfect for front desks and high-volume workflows.
Secure, Encrypted CCI Files
Your encoding templates can be saved in encrypted CCI format, which protects the structure and content of your file. These files can be securely distributed to project stakeholders, vendors, or encoding stations without exposing sensitive setup information.
Full Integration with Printing
Card encoding is fully integrated into the BadgeMaker print workflow. Simply select a record, click print, and the card will be encoded and printed in one seamless operation. BadgeMaker supports printers equipped with smart card encoders like HID Omnikey or SpringCard Crazy Writer.
