ACCESS CONTROL

Abloy UK launches Cumulus Controller for keyless access

» ABLOY UK HAS UNVEILED ITS NEW Cumulus Controller that enables mobile access for a wide variety of security products , allowing organisations to upgrade their doors to operate without keys .
The Bluetooth-connected Cumulus enables most electric locks and other electronic door locking devices to open with a digital key on a mobile app , instead of a physical credential such as a key , card or fob .
The controller works with both Abloy products and hardware of any brand , using compatible wiring . Security is enhanced because this small device can be installed inside a cabinet or behind a door , which means the locking mechanism is concealed and is therefore difficult to manipulate from the outside , offering enhanced security . Cumulus is operated with the Abloy mobile app on the user ’ s mobile phone over a Bluetooth Low Energy connection . The device is compatible with numerous electric lock types , including electromechanical , electric , motor and cabinet locks as well as alarm systems , electric strikes and latches .
The controller is designed for commercial properties and public spaces , including commercial buildings and offices parcel deliveries , cash-in-transit and construction . It can be managed with Abloy OS INCEDO or by integrating with a third-party system .
The solution offers well documented application programming interfaces ( APIs ) and mobile software development kits ( SDKs ) for easy integration and partner solutions . The controller tracks usage , recording opening and locking events automatically , and these audit trails can be
accessed in the management system .
Pat Jefferies , Commercial Director of Abloy UK , explained : “ Cumulus is the latest extension to the Abloy portfolio of keyless access solutions for professional use . Used in combination with other locking products available , it brings more access management options to different operating environments .
“ Keyless access management not only prevents downtime and reduces operational costs , but also minimises energy-consuming travel , making daily processes work more efficiently .
“ By developing and applying new technologies such as this , we can enable a safer , more connected world . We see a future where any door or hatch can be opened , locked and monitored from anywhere , in real time , and our Cumulus controller is a major step towards this .”
