Employer Administrator Update #21

The Rail Industry Worker (RIW) Program is committed to continuously improving the RIW system and associated apps. A new system release on 15 January 2020 delivered a range of improvements, including an exciting new feature, the RIW Web Card Reader…

The Web Card Reader allows an Access Controller to login and swipe RIW cardholders and visitor passes, select and award competencies (including pending competencies) and perform spot checks using a web-based reader/browser. The Web Card Reader can be used from a laptop/PC, or from any internet-enabled smart device where an RIW App is not installed or unable to be used.

The QR code on RIW cards and visitor passes can be read using a web cam or QR gun (QR gun support is limited to compatible devices, including Windows PCs and Mac OS). Forgotten Card functionality is also available to swipe workers in and out. NOTE: Near Field Communication (NFC) is not supported to read RIW cards when using the Web Card Reader.

The Web Card Reader automatically adjusts to fit small (mobile phone) and large (PC and tablet) screen sizes. The resizing makes best use of available screen resolution by moving buttons, pop-up menus, displaying tabs and adjusting screen content.

The Web Card Reader runs in a browser, and can be accessed via a link from the main RIW portal at https://app.riw.net.au/.



For more information about this new feature, please refer to the Quick Guide – Web Card Reader available on the RIW website.
