I work in a manufacturing company and we're looking at putting PCs out on the shop floor for employees to be able to do things like look at parts drawings, sign off that tasks are completed etc. As we want this to be as painless as possible but still have a record of who is signing off on the tasks, we are looking at the best way for the employees to use the access control badges they already have for accessing doors and clocking in and out. If that's not feasible we're certainly open to other options that would allow the employees to log in with some kind of physical token and never have to touch a keyboard or mouse let alone remember user names and passwords. I've looked into smart cards, but it appears that they require a PIN which we want to avoid if at all possible. We understand the inherant security risks and these devices would be locked down to only be able to do specific tasks and not have access to another parts of the network.

I would suggest the MIFARE DESFire EV3.
