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.
Altronix announces that their recently introduced NetWay4BT and NetWay8BT 802.3bt 4PPoE Managed Midspans are UL294 listed for access control systems.
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.
While QR codes aren’t new, it’s fair to say that 2020 became the comeback year for this technology. Be it the replacement of paper menus with QR codes on tables, which guests could scan to get a virtual menu on their mobile device, touchless payment options, or access control solutions that allow contactless visitor management – the global pandemic put contactless technology back in the spotlight. What also came into focus was the healthcare industry, that had to suddenly adjust to the new situation – probably more than any other industry. In the attempt of keeping people healthy and safe that’s when these two sectors crossed – because access control (specifically with QR code systems) played an interesting role for healthcare establishments.

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.
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.

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.
