Assa Abloy, Gallagher announce collaboration

Gallagher will support the Aperio technology in their Cardax FT system for integrated access control and intruder alarm monitoring and management.

The Aperio technology was developed to complement existing electronic access control systems, providing end users with a simple, intelligent way to upgrade the controllability and security level of their premises.

The new technology integrates mechanical and electronic systems, providing a world-first, simple, intelligent way to upgrade the controllability and security level of buildings and facilities.

The Aperio technology allows for security and IT managers to conveniently and cost effectively increase the number of doors that can be monitored.

"This collaboration is a significant step towards our objective to radically expand the online access control market with our Aperio technology," ASSA ABLOY's Business Manager of Electronic Access Control, Michael Söderberg, said.

"The open system architecture of Cardax FT makes it the ideal platform to support Aperio technology," Trish Thompson, Manager - Third Party Products, of Gallagher Security Management Systems, said.

"We see large potential for customers to create significant security management efficiencies by deploying the Cardax FT / Aperio integration.

"Through our cooperation with ASSA ABLOY, the range of integrations with Cardax FT continues to expand.

"The Aperio integration enables the option of electronically monitoring and controlling doors we would not typically address."
