March 2018System Integration & Control Systems Design
RS Components has announced availability of an IoT web-based system from ABUS that delivers superior access control management for small to medium-sized commercial and industrial buildings.
A winner of the iF Design Award 2017, the ABUS wAppLoxx is an innovative solution for professional access control that can manage access to as many as 20 doors in a building or facility. The easy-to-use system allows companies to manage access rights and quickly modify parameters for changes in staff or new employees. In addition, use of a dedicated app even makes it possible to adjust system settings using a smartphone or tablet.
The wAppLoxx combines the advantages of traditional access control flexible and smart online management via the Web or via an intranet. Quick and easy creation of access rights is enabled for up to 150 people, for example, providing separate access rights for individual offices, archives or sensitive areas in building such as laboratories, medication storage facilities, warehouses or industrial complexes. In addition to providing access control, alarm systems can be connected via a cable to the wAppLoxx, thereby preventing false alarms and optimising overall building control.
The system includes a control unit, which can be connected to 20 wAppLoxx electronic double-knob cylinders featuring a sturdy design with high-quality stainless steel knobs and a synthetic cap. These cylinders integrate write-protected MIFARE DESFire transponder tags and connect with the control unit via 128-bit AES-encrypted wireless communications. Two types of cylinder are available: one for access control and a second that is also suitable for alarm system control.
