What was the challenge?
BMCE Bank is one of the largest commercial banks in Morocco, with a network of 540 branches. As part of a complete overhaul of its headquarters security arrangements, the bank needed a wireless locking solution to provide 50 of its glass doors with an instant upgrade to the existing access control system, without compromising on aesthetics.
How did Aperio® meet the customer’s requirements?
Easy and economical to install, ASSA ABLOY’s Aperio® cylinder solution enabled a simple security upgrade from the existing mechanical systems to a sleek and flexible access control wireless solution. With Aperio®’s flexible design and ability to work with the existing credentials, there was no issue with Aperio® easily connecting to the existing online access control system at BMCE Bank. And the installation was achieved with minimal modification to doors and premises, especially as many of the doors in the building were of architectural glass construction which is notoriously difficult and expensive for traditional wired access control solutions.
Chris Bone, Vice President Access Control EMEA, says: “The selection of Aperio® for such a prestigious building, where security is of paramount importance, is true testament to the abilities of this revolutionary technology. This installation really demonstrates how Aperio® can provide end users in any market across the globe, with a simple to install but intelligent way of upgrading the controllability and security levels of their premises."
