ASSA ABLOY has unveiled its newest product in the Aperio P100 Wireless Padlock, which they claim provides convenient, connected digital protection.
Fences, gates, storage cages, racks, containers, tool cabinets and other non-standard openings often require restricted access and greater control.
In many cases, they are secured with mechanical locking, rather than connected to an access control system, creating workflow inefficiencies. For these openings – and many more, in all types of premises – ASSA ABLOY believes the new Aperio P100 Wireless Padlock is a gamechanger.
Wireless cylinders, escutcheons, security locks and locking handles can control access through many different types of opening. But they fall short when it comes to protecting several key spaces around industrial, commercial and other premises, where time-consuming mechanical security and manual checking are often still in use. The result is inefficiency in workflows and higher costs to the business.
Now, with the new Aperio P100 Padlock, ASSA ABLOY insists that there is a digital solution, stating that it brings flexible control to new places, whatever access or security management system is running.
“By adding the P100 Wireless Padlock to the Aperio family of battery-powered digital devices, we give customers the opportunity to extend control and coverage quickly and cost-efficiently,” says Robert Eriksson, Head of Wireless Door Lock Product Management at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA. “Organisations can secure and simplify access like never before. With ASSA ABLOY, they digitalise with confidence.”
Compatibility, reliability and a choice of credentials
As with every device in the Aperio range, compatibility comes as standard with the P100 Padlock. When extending an access system with Aperio, facility managers continue to manage every lock and user from their existing interface and a single database.
They can deploy an Aperio device at almost any interior access point — including wooden, metal and glass doors, as well as cabinets, cupboards, server racks and now, indoor and outdoor gates, fences and cages with the new P100.
For administrator flexibility, all Aperio devices work with the widest range of RFID technologies and protocols, in both Online and Offline mode.
Mobile credentials offer optional keyless access for even greater convenience: Users already carry their smartphone everywhere and Aperio Mobile Access supports NFC unlocking, which is easy and intuitive. Users simply present their phone at the device. They don’t even need to open an app.
The new Aperio P100 is IP66-rated for added durability and weatherproofing. Typical battery life is two years under normal conditions. And to make management simpler for security teams, Aperio’s audit trail support ensures they always know who accessed which areas, and when – making incident investigation faster. Remote unlocking in online mode keeps them in control from anywhere, even in an emergency.
“Aperio already works with over 100 different security, building management and access control systems around the world — and this number is still growing,” Eriksson adds.
“The new P100 Wireless Padlock brings the award-winning Aperio technology to a whole new range of indoor and outdoor applications, to help businesses get their access ready for what’s ahead.”
