Johnson Controls, Inc.

Johnson Controls, the globally renowned company in smart, healthy and sustainable building solutions, has introduced the PLAI Adapter for the Tyco Software House’s CCURE 9000 security and event management system, which connects to the PLAI Agent, for physical access control system compatibility.

PLAI Adapter

This open standards approach enables enterprises to easily manage personnel identity and physical access, across disparate physical access control platforms and other identity-based systems, reducing complexity and cost in system administration, and improving the employee and user experience.

The Physical-Logical Access Interoperability (PLAI) specification provides an open standard method of sharing and managing personnel, credential, card format and biometric details, across an enterprise. This enables customers to use their current badge technology and biometrics, without the need for duplicate enrollments in different systems and the need to issue multiple credentials.

PLAI specification offers an open standard approach

The PLAI specification employs an open standard approach to integrating these different platforms

Created by the Physical Security Interoperability Alliance, the PLAI specification employs an open standard approach to integrating these different platforms, as opposed to relying on individual platform drivers, simplifying the integration process.

The ability for centralised management of Personal Identifiable Information (PII), across multiple systems, with the CCURE 9000 PLAI adapter, can ease compliance with data privacy regulations, such as GDPR and reduce the risk of unauthorised access, caused by identity conflicts, in the operation of the access control system. This helps to reduce total cost of ownership, by easing the administration burdens of making changes to users, credentials, locations and roles.

Interoperability for PLAI-conformant access control solutions

Open standards can also extend the life of current systems and allow organisations to defer the cost of standardising on one physical access control platform. By supporting interoperability with other PLAI-conformant access control technologies and biometrics, systems can be extended to include security events and door control, as well as visitor management functions.

PLAI Adapter for Tyco Software House’s CCURE 9000 is part of the Johnson Controls OpenBlue suite of connected solutions, which support healthy people, healthy places and a healthy planet.
