SimonsVoss has made the best out of the second year affected by Corona: digitalization has been brought further on, the new Digital Cylinder AX was launched, a cooperation has been started with FSB, and the company presented the first stages of the new AXM software at the SecurityExpo 2021 in Munich, which will gradually replace the current LSM software. SimonsVoss Managing Director Bernhard Sommer draws a positive conclusion to the year during a conversation with GIT SECURITY – and looks forward enthusiastically to the new year ahead.
With 'BKS networked worlds', the GU group has created a showroom that is unlike any other, bringing scenarios of single-family and multi-family homes, retail, data centres, hospitals, hotels, campuses, prisons, petrol stations and drones to life and displaying the expertise for the different requirements regarding system solutions for access control, smoke and heat exhaust ventilation, hazard models, as well as escape and rescue routes. On 1000 square meters, the solutions from the service range of the BKS Connect division for electronic and mechanical security are show-cased.
Business systems must always be under review because none of us can predict the future with 100% accuracy. Things change, so people and processes should therefore always be ready to adapt, but adaptation in security is easier said than done when systems are static. Accommodating change and diversity — with flexibility, scalability and the widest possible range of devices — was the ethos that Assa Abloy applied when they launched their Incedo access control ecosystem.
Speed and accuracy are critical to finalizing door specifications in any complex architecture project.

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.
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.

The ÜLock B locks from Südmetall provide security on both sides of the door – to protect human lives and valuables: there is always an escape route guaranteed by the panic function in the direction of escape. And the self-locking function ensures that the door is otherwise always locked. The lock has no parts that can be attacked from outside as the electronics are completely enclosed within the lock housing, and the lock itself has a high resistance to mechanical manipulation. The best possible encryption is used for data transmission between lock, RFID card and RFID reader – that ensures optimum protection against break-ins. Access control administration is through the license-free ÜManagement 2.0 software.
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.
The physical and cyber security threats for companies and the consequences of the health crisis have had an enormous impact on the perceived needs and requirements for access control and security. Vincent Dupart, STid’s CEO, and François Gitz, STid’s Sales Manager, talk with GIT SECURITY about this matter.
Covid-19 forced many sports seasons to end abruptly. Others never had a chance to begin or were forced to play without fans, costing the industry billions of dollars in lost revenue from tickets and advertising, as well as weakening tourism to sports-centric cities. After nearly 18 months of limited in-person events, some stadiums are beginning to feel confident that fans can return to watch the sports they love in person thanks to medical innovation and infrastructure solutions for keeping fans and staff healthy.

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.
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.
We hardly notice them, but they are there, all day and every day; the equipment installations and their control and monitoring systems that supply us all with electricity, telecommunications, gas and water. Those are perhaps the services that first come to mind without which we would all have serious difficulties very quickly – daily life would also be radically different without quite a few others. Ensuring that these installations are not accessed by unauthorized people is the job of well thought-out security systems. GIT SECURITY takes a look at some of the solutions to mitigate the risks of theft, vandalism and acts of terrorism and to protect critical infrastructure and other high security locations.

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.
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.
