ACCESS CONTROL
Controlsoft integrates Aperio®
with Identity Access platform
» » CONTROLSOFT, A LEADING
developer, manufacturer and
distributor of access control
solutions, has fully integrated its
latest Identity Access platform
with the Aperio® wireless
locking technology from the
ASSA ABLOY Door Hardware &
Access Control Group.
By updating and upgrading
its Identity Access platform to
fully integrate with the Aperio
AH30 1-to-8 communication
hub, Controlsoft’s customers
can easily add mechanical
doors to their existing access
control system. Aperio
ensures users require minimal
additional hardware to
upgrade their premises to
wireless access control.
A communications hub
providing a wireless connection
with up to eight doors, the
Aperio AH30 operates within
a 25-metre transmission
range, and has been designed
for prompt, cost-effective
installation and integration.
Suitable for interior doors, the
hub is particularly practical
for hallways with a number of
adjacent corridors.
Easy to use and intuitive,
Controlsoft’s Identity Access is a
complete security management
software. The individual
access rights of employees,
visitors and contractors can
be assigned according to their
responsibilities. Individual
time restrictions can also be
applied for each access control
point, and the system offers
full auditing and reporting
capabilities.
The software also includes
advanced features such as
a lockdown function, which
prohibits authorised users from
accessing doors, as well as a
further function that can allow
for multiple levels of lockdown,
depending on the scenario.
Identity Access can even be
integrated with a fire alarm
system, so that selected doors
automatically open when a fire
alarm is activated.
Jonathan Summers,
Managing Director at
Controlsoft, said: “We are
committed to providing a
comprehensive range of access
control solutions that are
competitively priced, easy to
install and highly secure. It is
with this commitment in mind
that we have fully integrated
our Controlsoft access control
solution with the Aperio AH30
1-to-8 communications hub
from the Door Hardware &
Access Control Group.
“The AH30 has an excellent
reputation as a reliable,
functional and high-
performance access control
solution, and this integration
will help us provide customers
with faster, more effective
installations.”

DERBY ‘HEADACHE’ CURED WITH FACE FIX
» » LOXAL SECURITY HAS SOLVED A
huge headache for Network Rail’s £200m
Derby Station Project compound, where
major investment has been made in
improvements in track and signalling.
The Derby compound is where
all the works are organised, and
where all staff and engineers
arrive to, and exit from. Access
to and from project site is
gained via the compound.
Temporary site offices, welfare
units and storage facilities are all
within the compound.
Network rail had had huge issues with
key loss, lock change, site surveys, assisted
viewings and temporary access; the
associated security issues were a constant
problem for site managers.
Loxal used its range of secure
temporary access control products that
streamline access, monitor and audit
not only steel security doors, but key
safes, gate locks, locking bars and lock
conversions.
Using its latest
technology, Loxal’s IDACS
(Intelligent digital access control
system) was ideal for the Derby site, as
the products require no mains power but
deliver performance and data you may
expect to find on a hard-wired access
control system.
The system can operate up to 200
unique user access codes, emergency
codes, guard codes and site shut down
codes, and all products can be fully-
integrated into a video verified remote
alarm system.
The software that operates the entire
product range, has been successfully used
on thousands of properties and sites.
Because IDACS is remote, wireless and
sophisticated access control management
software, it enabled specific users at the
Derby compound to gain access and be
identified on site.
Once Loxal had implemented its IDACS
products for Network Rail, a completely
keyless compound was created,
eliminating all the previous issues.
Face Fix Key Lock Box units were
installed on two site admin offices, both
of which needed to be locked when not
occupied, and IDACS codes were then
issued to all staff members who required
and had access rights to the offices.
This meant that staff no longer had to
carry keys or access keys as and when
required.
All Loxal Security products are designed
and manufactured in the UK.
