Abloy Oy has unveiled a digital , keyless padlock with a removable shackle . The new lock is the latest addition to the ABLOY BEAT product family and to ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions ’ digital portfolio for critical infrastructure .

“ Connectivity is the keyword in this announcement , as it is the opening step in our expanding keyless product range . We see a time ahead where various access management solutions – both hardware and software – are increasingly connected . We want to help organisations connect with their more effortless digital future from their current mechanical systems . Further additions to our BEAT range are on their way

in the coming months ”, said Simo Pikkarainen , Product & Software Director , ABLOY Critical Infrastructure .

Especially engineered for critical infrastructure needs

All products in the BEAT range are designed especially for professional physical protection of critical infrastructure , businesses and industry sites . While securing property , they also offer customers improved operational efficiency , reducing both logistics and costs . The solution is intended to be used in sectors like telecom , transportation , water and energy . Padlocks with a removable shackle are typically needed in gate frames and hasps in critical infrastructure environments . For example , truck trailers usually have various hasp locking solutions . In these settings , the padlock is often protected behind a more robust , fixed fitting , for example welded to a supporting structure .

Similarly , in places requiring special security , locks are often also hidden from view . This can be done , for example , by fitting a padlock with a removable shackle in a groove in a cabinet door frame or under a manhole cover .

In the above cases , when operating the lock , the shackle cannot be turned as in a conventional padlock . Instead , for such use cases , a padlock , from which the shackle can be detached by pulling it perpendicularly away from the lock body , is more suitable .

Mobile-operated , yet highly weatherproof

The product version released today has been developed from the first ABLOY BEAT padlock version , launched in March 2020 . The padlocks are operated with the BEAT mobile application , providing a digital key . Access rights can be managed with CIPE Manager , ASSA ABLOY ’ s access management solution for critical infrastructure . The locks can also be integrated with third-party systems or added to the customer ’ s existing workflow thanks to

application programming interfaces ( API ).

The padlock , featuring a case-hardened steel body , is designed to perform in harsh environments and remote areas . It has IP66 and IP68 protection ratings and an EN16864:2017 ( the European standard for mechatronic padlocks ) grade 3 rating . The lock complements the current ABLOY ® SUPER WEATH- ER PROOF range of padlocks .

The padlock is available with 25 mm and 50 mm long removable shackles from regional ABLOY Critical Infrastructure sales units worldwide .
