badge swipe
Card-based entry action
A badge swipe is the act of passing an ID card through or against an electronic reader to gain access or record attendance.
The term names both the motion and the transaction it initiates: Every badge swipe is logged by security.
Common in workplaces with controlled entry, where employees swipe to enter buildings, clock in, or access restricted areas.
