Allegion US has introduced Allegion Optimise™, a mobile application aimed at enhancing the management of selected Allegion security products.
This new tool, designed with the end-user in mind, aligns with the latest firmware update for the LCN Senior Swing Series Auto Operator, marking it as the first device to implement Optimise. It offers installers and facility teams the capability to calibrate, adjust, maintain, and troubleshoot the LCN Senior Swing directly from the app, thereby increasing efficiency, precision, and safety.
Streamlining security operations
The Optimise app provides a cohesive platform that simplifies the process of device commissioning, diagnostics, and firmware updates across connected Allegion solutions via Bluetooth® connectivity. By offering comprehensive support throughout the duration of a product's lifecycle, facility teams gain improved operational efficiency and insights into data, ensuring smooth operations.
Emily Zentz, Allegion product manager for automatic operators, emphasized the importance of technological advancement, highlighting, "Between 2018 and 2033, it’s predicted that up to 50 percent of the facility management workforce will retire. As new facilities professionals step into the industry, it’s imperative that technology advances in line with their growing expectations. The Optimise app answers that call, positioning Allegion’s line of auto operators with a modern experience."

Greater level of control
Setting adjustments, troubleshooting and calibration on the LCN Senior Swing is now even easier. In-app calibration, diagnostic tools, firmware updates and data management enable installers and facility teams to have a greater level of control over their buildings.
Once the LCN Senior Swing is installed, the installer can run the calibration cycle from the app. This allows them to be safely on the ground and watch the door more closely to determine whether further adjustments are needed. Users can fine tune the settings on the Optimise app without removing the cover on the Senior Swing or climbing a ladder. When troubleshooting, Optimise provides details for any error codes or notifications, so the user can quickly review, digest and act upon that information before engaging with technical support.
Multiple product categories
Allegion Optimise won’t stop with the LCN Senior Swing. It is designed to be the new unified device management mobile application that will simplify the commissioning, configuration and ongoing maintenance of future Allegion connected devices across multiple product categories. Plans to support additional auto operators and electronic locks will be announced later this year.
Allegion Optimise is available now in the Apple App Store® and Google Play™ store for use with LCN auto operators.
