Digital access management without batteries

News

Advert

Are you a maintenance company or elevator operator that has dozens of keys to get access into buildings? Those days are over: there is digital access management solution that needs no batteries, physical keys or maintenance. It simply works with a smartphone.

Key management for multi-site operators and companies is a daily challenge in terms of handovers and security related to possible lost keys. The international company – iLOQ – offers operators and maintenance companies digital key management with battery-free cylinders that are powered and operated by a smartphone using NFC.  

iLOQ developed the first battery-free access management system 20 years ago, which has been smartphone-based for almost a decade. It is compatible with the latest requirements, encryptions and trends from all sectors of the economy in order to be able to react to key loss in real time.

Pioneer in battery-free access management

Smartphone-based, intelligent locking cylinders are the only sensible solution for geographically dispersed locking systems with master keys. The challenge here is the power source required by intelligent locking cylinders, i.e. the choice between expensive cabling or constant battery changes.  

The solution is the intelligent iLOQ locking cylinder, which is powered by an NFC-enabled smartphone (IOS and Android). By using this technology, patented by iLOQ, battery changes, physical keys and expensive maintenance are a thing of the past.

One key for everything

The iLOQ 5 Series system platform offers customers a high degree of flexibility with regard to possible installation situations in and on the building.  Thanks to the modular design, users can react to a wide variety of changes, for example, to doors without having to rely on third parties. The ‘one key for everything’ goal pursued by iLOQ is intended to make it easier for customers to switch from mechanical to digital locking and replace unnecessary key rings, which represent a security risk.

The various locking cylinder types available from iLOQ are AES256-bit encrypted, meet the required DIN standards and can be used and installed under the toughest external conditions. Even when used in remote locations where there is no reception for the smartphone, e.g. in basements, secure access via smartphone is still guaranteed, as the iLOQ S50 system works offline from the ground up and does not require a permanent online connection from iLOQ.

Involve contractors and service providers in key management

Nowadays, simple and modern management software is a decisive factor for the success and operation of access management. With iLOQ Manager, management is made easy, whether you need to manage 10 locking cylinders or 1000 or more. The system is suitable for any size of locking system and grows with you over the years. Scalability and decentralized management are an important factor for our customers to ensure that the system meets current and future requirements. 

The automation of processes such as handing over keys, sending or integrating maintenance companies to manage assigned buildings and buildings covered by maintenance contracts, can already be used today by means of integrations (API and Mobile SDK). Elevator maintenance contractors can thus independently manage access in their area of responsibility for buildings, based on the contract term and options defined by the operator in the system. There is also the option to manage access (optional and GDPR-compliant) for documentation and occupational safety automatically and in real time.

Current access rights directly on your smartphone

Access rights, temporary authorizations or an expiration date are sent to the relevant smartphone in real time. No unnecessary trips for technicians when access rights or areas change.

Functioning and reliable access assignment is essential for smooth processes in the day-to-day business of service providers and maintenance companies. iLOQ offers the necessary security, coupled with efficient ‘over-the-air transmission’, and the ability to react quickly and in real time to changes. 

By using a smartphone as a key, changes to access rights or time restrictions due to changes in responsibilities can be updated and sent within seconds, regardless of location.

Savings over the entire lifecycle

By eliminating unnecessary trips for mechanical keys, cylinder maintenance and the use of digital cylinders without batteries, processes are optimized and costs are saved considerably.

The iLOQ S50 has been specifically designed to save valuable time and resources. Reducing significant costs associated with lost keys, battery changes, replacing lock cylinders or blocked key channels helps companies to focus limited resources on the important, core business. 

Optimizing the logistics of keys and eliminating unnecessary trips associated with site management results in significant savings over the entire lifecycle of the system.
