ASSA ABLOY Wireless Access Solutions Reduce Installation Costs

ASSA ABLOY is promoting its next-generation wireless access control solutions, which the company states can significantly reduce installation and maintenance costs for building owners and facility managers.

Traditional mechanical keys and wired locking systems require substantial investment in cabling, installation, and ongoing upkeep. ASSA ABLOY's wireless systems aim to eliminate much of this need by reducing wiring, minimizing downtime, and simplifying key management. The company claims that these wireless systems can lower installation costs by up to 50% when compared to wired alternatives.

The benefits of these systems are particularly relevant for environments where minimal disruption is crucial, such as schools, hotels, and hospitals. Wireless technology allows for installations to be completed in days rather than weeks. Additionally, the systems are designed for easy scaling, enabling the addition of doors or expansion across multiple sites without major infrastructure changes. Ongoing maintenance costs are also reduced due to less need for costly key duplication or mechanical lock repairs.

ASSA ABLOY has presented several customer case studies demonstrating cost savings achieved through wireless solutions. Educational institutions and hospitality businesses are cited as examples of organizations that have reduced expenses by adopting wireless systems. The company's product offerings include SMARTair® i-max, Aperio®, eCLIQ®, and ABLOY PROTEC 2, catering to various applications ranging from schools and offices to critical infrastructure.
