​​​​​​​Access control technology Pulse from Assa Abloy has been recognized for its combination of energy harvesting power generation and security features designed to meet the challenges of the next decade. France’s Expoprotection Trophées de l’Innovation 2021 highlight a select few new products and systems across the whole spectrum of security, cybersecurity and fire safety.

DesignEuropa Awards Shortlist Assa Abloy’s Aperio Handle

Every two years the prestigious DesignEuropa Awards select products across the spectrum of industrial design. These awards are sponsored by the European Union Intellectual Property Office, which protects and promotes the intellectual property of EU organizations. Assa Abloy’s Aperio H100 Wireless Handle has been recognized by the jury for its design and security functionality.

BIM Partnership Between Assa Abloy and Assar Architects

​​​​​​​As the construction industry becomes ever more digitized, it is important that project information is shared not only quickly, but also accurately. Building Information Modelling, or BIM, is fast becoming the solution to deliver this, led by BIM innovators like Assar Architects.

Do your wireless locks already have mobile capability built in?

Mobile access is changing the way we manage buildings and their security. The smartphone becomes a mobile key just as easily as a payment card or a map. A device which users are already carrying can unlock buildings or rooms, across one or multiple sites, securely and at a lower cost to the business than standard credentials.

Assa Abloy: Digital PIN Locking for School Staff Rooms

​​​​​​​Staff and school administrators can relax when they know private rooms and equipment stores are properly secured. Currently many teachers must carry around cumbersome keys to ensure pupils do not enter rooms which could put themselves or valuable school equipment at risk.

Assa Abloy: Gate Closing with 3D Cam-Motion Technology

​​​​​​​In suburban gardens or a castle portcullis, a gate only works when it is properly closed. Leaving it open instantly creates a security risk. A Vertical Gate Closer shuts almost any gate tight automatically, at residential or commercial properties. It removes any chance for human error. Plus, with advanced 3D Cam-Motion technology on the inside, it ensures everyone can open and close the gate effortlessly.

Powering access control wire-free with intelligent electronic keys

Programmable keys put the powerful features of electronic access control into a convenient technology. They have the advantages of traditional lock-and-key security: familiar and user-friendly. But they have evolved.

Assa Abloy: Managing Security for Multi-residential Housing Blocks

​​​​​​​When renovation is required, many multi-family housing organizations also take the opportunity to upgrade door security. Managing multiple units and regular tenancy changes with mechanical lock-and-key technology is time-consuming and inefficient. It can also create security vulnerabilities when keys are lost. An easier, electronic solution without wires or batteries can save management time and money.

Assa Abloy: Electronic Access Control For Glass Doors

​​​​​​​As facility managers, designers and building specifiers will attest, it can be challenging to find the right electronic access solution for a glass door. When glass is the focal point of an entrance design, cabling is not an option. Matching appropriate devices to the opening for a meeting room, office, treatment suite or any other glass door often involves compromises. Organizations may not find their ideal combination of security level, convenience, design and functionality.

Saving Time and Money in a Building’s Design, Construction and Security

In the last few years, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has grown from relative infancy to a critical element in many construction projects. GIT SECURITY put five questions to Marc Ameryckx, BIM manager at Assa Abloy Opening Solutions EMEIA, about the benefits of a process which is apparently much easier than many imagine.

Assa Abloy: Programmable Electronic Keys for Municipal Facilities

​​​​​​​Running a unified locking system for multiple municipal services may bring operational efficiencies. However, if the system is based on mechanical locks, it can also create time-consuming headaches. When keys go missing, for example, or user access requirements change, mechanical security does not have the flexibility to adapt quickly.

Assa Abloy's Wireless Locks Integrate with Siveillance Access from Siemens

24.08.2021 - Integration of Siveillance Access from Siemens Smart Infrastructure Suite with Aperio  battery-powered access control from Assa Abloy puts security at the core of any smart building. These buildings become trusted environments for those who work there or visit, offering reputational benefits to their occupants. They are more resilient and more cost efficient to manage.

Assa Abloy: 21st-century Locking for Old Buildings

Retrofitting modern security to old or protected heritage buildings used to be an installer’s nightmare. Wiring could be complex; damage to ancient architecture or door hardware was a constant risk. Now wireless access control devices which match the protection and durability of wired technology have made it straightforward.

Assa Abloy: Improving Staff Health and Safety

​​​​​​​The responsibilities of the modern facilities manager combine site security with employee health and safety. At Hydreaulys, a French water and waste management utility, a simple switch to programmable key-based access control helped them make improvements on both counts.

How BIM Product Files Helped an Architects Team

A BIM (Building Information Modeling) partnership between an architect and Assa Abloy Opening Solutions has kept a complex project moving forward. Working with Assa Abloy building information modelling (BIM) consultants helped Zarhy Architects and Studio PEZ maintain the flow of up-to-date information for a complex, constantly evolving project, and left them free to focus on creativity and delivery. Collaboration was key to successful design and building specification for the Broadcom R&D Center at Tel Aviv University.

Assa Abloy: Entrance Design meets Door Security

Entrance design is about making a great first impression. Yet the journey from architect’s vision to the front face of a building can demand compromises, especially where heavy doors need closing aids for safe, barrier-free operation. Floor Springs make use comfortable and compliant, for any door, without clutter or unsightly furniture.

​​​​​​​BIM Partnership Between Architect and Assa Abloy

Working with Assa Abloy building information modelling consultants helped Zarhy Architects and Studio Pez maintain the flow of up-to-date information for a complex, constantly evolving project - and left them free to focus on creativity and delivery. Collaboration was key to successful design and building specification for the Broadcom R&D Center at Tel Aviv University.

Assa Abloy: Simplifying Security Management with Wireless Access Control

Taking the first step into electronic access control may seem intimidating. Yet, as businesses of all sizes and from every industry have discovered, choosing the right system quickly translates to time and money savings. Daily access management tasks become faster or even automated.

Assa Abloy: Wireless Access Solutions for Healthcare Security

Security stakes are high at healthcare premises. Patients expect and deserve privacy and safety. Yet most medical buildings must remain welcoming spaces, many open around the clock. The protection of drugs and confidential data is critical — and every breach demands thorough investigation. Such needs go way beyond what the mechanical security was designed to meet.

Assa Abloy: Switching to Mobile Access Control Fast

​​​​​​​The smartphone is changing access control and security management at every scale and level, from global corporations to small companies. Making the switch to mobile access control, however, can seem daunting. Questions may arise around cost, practicality and the potential need for new door hardware. Yet going mobile is actually a lot simpler and quicker than many think, as one new guide explains.

Assa Abloy: The Benefits of Building Information Modelling

In the last few years, Building Information Modelling, or BIM, has grown from relative infancy to a critical element in many construction projects. Marc Ameryckx, BIM Manager at Assa Abloy Opening Solutions EMEIA, talks about the benefits of the process.

Assa Abloy: Wireless Access Control in Education Sector

With a combination of duty of care, valuable equipment and personal data, the education sector presents one of security’s biggest challenges. Choosing the right access control solution is critical. Could going wireless be an option?

Assa Abloy: Door Upgrade for Better Accessibility

A door should be an opening, not a barrier. But the reality for the elderly, young and disabled is that inappropriate doors often shut them out. Upgrading to the right door closer can guarantee that premises welcome everyone, no matter their age or dexterity.

Assa Abloy: Protecting Data Centres With Better Physical Security

​​​​​​​Critical business assets demand multi-layered security. This principle applies equally to virtual and physical assets: Data may be mission-critical to a business, just as people and premises are. Data security tools will include the latest in cyber-security — perhaps even artificial intelligence — working alongside physical security technologies such as electronic access control.

Assa Abloy Provides Access Control Platform for Global Manufacturer

It can be a challenge to find an ideal electronic lock for every opening, and then to manage them all within a single, integrated solution. All too often, security procurement involves difficult compromises: A system which works perfectly for one door or department leaves another where the same solution doesn’t quite meet its needs. At newly built commercial premises in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia, power-tool manufacturer Makita stocks and distributes batteries, and runs wholesale supply logistics. They searched for a single, intuitive system to control every access point — now and in the future.

Assa Abloy: The Importance of BIM Consultants and Software

When Brunelleschi built his famous dome on Florence cathedral, he had to design his own scaffolding. He built lifts for moving materials above ground level. He created airborne kitchens, so workers needn’t descend all the way just to eat lunch. Plug-and-play building technologies have improved since the 1400s. Yet a surprising amount of any project is still administered manually, in a way Brunelleschi might have recognized. A disruptive, digital revolution is imminent. Every building project demands coordination of vast amounts of information. Realizing a vision from brain to bricks and mortar depends on marshalling it successfully. For architects and engineers, building owners and contractors, digitization is here to help — and to stay. Building Information Modeling, or BIM, sits at the heart of a project.

Assa Abloy: Revolutionizing Key Use with Smartphones

Mobile access is impacting how we interact with buildings and manage their security. For users, a device they already carry unlocks doors and other openings digitally. For facility managers, this same device manages access more securely, for multiple sites if required. Businesses benefit from time-saving security management at a lower total cost.

Assa Abloy: New Smartair Padlock for All Weather Conditions

With resistance to attack and extreme weather, wire-free installation and battery-powered operation, Assa Abloy's new Smartair i-gate Electronic Padlock is built for use almost anywhere. The new device enables facility managers to add real-time control to non-electrified gates, cupboards, cabinets, closets and crates.

Assa Abloy: Transforming Interior Door Security in Under a Minute

Assa Abloy has introduced a new Code Handle digital PIN lock that can be fitted to a standard interior door in less than half a minute. With the new handle, security for private offices, stock rooms, staff toilets, equipment stores, consulting rooms, home offices, boardrooms and more can get a major security upgrade — with no wires, no keys and no need to run an access control system.

Assa Abloy: New Incedo Business Plus

For dynamic businesses, an access and security system must be built to grow. Assa Abloy's Incedo platform aims to connect security software and hardware within a single, seamless system, enabling scaling up or down on demand. Now, the new Incedo Business Plus system management option enables security personnel to control door access alongside third-party solutions for video surveillance, alarms and more from a unified, intuitive interface.

Assa Abloy: Meeting Locking System Standards

Standards and compliance perform a critical role for security and facility managers. They set a quality baseline for locking and security hardware. They help customers quickly compare attributes across products. Insurance providers require security to meet relevant standards. Taking a short-cut could prove an expensive mistake - Assa Abloy aims to combat this problem with easy and affordable access control.

The smarter, electronic way to run key-based access control

Intelligent, programmable keys put the powerful features of electronic access control into a convenient technology. They have the advantages of traditional lock-and-key security: familiar and user-friendly. But they have evolved. An electronic locking solution minimizes security risks when keys go missing. Facility managers can manage everyone’s access from anywhere, at any time — electronically, securely and cable-free.

Belgian Expo Centre Switches to Assa Abloy's Cliq System

​​​​​​​Size can be a major factor for any security project. The bigger the scale, the greater the challenge. With hundreds of doors and a 3km perimeter, the Flanders Expo is larger than most buildings. They sought a modern replacement for mechanical locking - and finally decided on Assa Abloy's Cliq locking system.

Assa Abloy: Keyless Door Security for Modern Barcelona Office

Busy offices need convenient interior security for any private spaces. Not everyone should be reading the important memo on the CEO’s desk. But nobody wants to be left looking after the keys. At a co-working space in Barcelona, Assa Abloy's Code Handle Door locks solve the problem.

Assa Abloy: Incedo for Professional Security Business

Plexus managers sought a more flexible access system for their own head office in Swansea, Wales. Alongside integrated control, Plexus prioritized modern access control with lower maintenance costs than their current system, as well as the potential to be operated securely from the cloud.

Assa Abloy Launches Incedo Business Cloud

Incedo access management from Assa Abloy Opening Solutions was created for businesses on the move who need a flexible security solution which grows with them. Now, security managers managing an Incedo Business solution can work remotely, too — while maintaining complete control over their building’s access points.

Platform-Based Access Management can Meet the Security Challenges of the Next Decade

As the way we live and work continues to change, people, data and goods move more fluidly than ever. It already seems less useful to think about building management functions in isolation. Rapid urbanization, technological change and shifting patterns in global working put these systems to use simultaneously, every day. How can a new generation of security technology address this?

Assa Abloy: New Wireless Escutcheon for High-traffic Doors

​​​​​​​Heavily used interior and exterior doors need an access solution that is both robust and intelligent. The new Smartair i-max Escutcheon from Assa Abloy ensures only authorised users pass through these doors, via a range of credentials including virtual keys stored on a smartphone. Fast, wire-free installation makes it easy to implement or extend a Smartair access control system in any building.

Assa Abloy and Nedap: Optimizing Access Control with Integration

Aperio wireless locks from Assa Abloy Opening Solutions now integrate seamlessly with the versatile AEOS access control by Nedap to bring a range of concrete business benefits. Optimizing access control with these battery-powered wireless locks can boost convenience for building users and help make better use of spaces.

Assa Abloy: eCLIQ For French Museums

Two museums, a single security environment. As a result, access management was eating up significant time and budget for the museums’ Technical and Security Manager. The solution for simpler access management was eCLIQ, an electronic locking system built around easy-to-fit cylinders and programmable, battery-powered keys.

Assa Abloy: Education Sector Security with Smartair

Every place of education owes a duty of care to its users. This raises the stakes for security. Add the valuable equipment and personal data held on-site and this becomes one of schools’ and universities’ biggest challenges - and choosing the right access control solution is critical. Wireless locking like Assa Abloy's Smartair system can be a cost-efficient solution.
