Assa Abloy’s Incedo access control has flexibility for any business

When businesses need to change, their access control must change with them. Flexibility, scalability, service packages, easy integration of new hardware: These are all critical when choosing an access system, whether for a small business or a multinational organisation.

The choice may impact the business in all kinds of ways. For example, security is maximised by finding locking devices for different types of opening doors or lockers, outdoors and indoors, high security and low. The ability to issue temporary or time-limited credentials for cleaners, contractors, or visitors improves efficiency.

Incedo access control ecosystem

Running multiple systems in parallel can be time-consuming. Switching to manage multiple security tasks and technologies from a single platform saves valuable staff time and reduces manual errors. ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions’ Incedo access control ecosystem was created because every business has different requirements.

Wired and wireless locking devices from across ASSA ABLOY’s vast range can be combined with a choice of software options: Local or Cloud management, plus the option to add third-party services like video and biometrics. Building users can carry physical credentials like smartcards or unlock with mobile keys stored on their smartphones. No two Incedo systems will look alike. But everyone can be built around the exact access management needs of the business.

Incedo Business for flexible offices

Work patterns are changing: The boom in hybrid working has propelled the growth of flexible offices and co-working spaces. Accommodating this flexibility demands a change in how security and access control are managed.

Clockwise is a European provider of flexible office space for entrepreneurs and established businesses. Its diverse offering demands a broad choice of electronic locking devices to secure meeting rooms, private offices, communal spaces, and main entrances. Each one may require a different lock type.

Electronic lock for every opening

Clockwise’s portfolio itself will also evolve: Any access system must be able to scale instantly, up or down

Because tenants come and go frequently, Clockwise facility managers need user access programming to be as easy as possible. Clockwise’s portfolio itself will also evolve: Any access system must be able to scale instantly, up or down.

The diversity of Incedo-enabled devices enabled Clockwise to select the ideal electronic lock for every opening. Internal private office doors, “Zoom rooms” and meeting rooms as well as communal area doors and entrance/exits are secured with wireless devices from the Incedo Business range and controlled from the intuitive software interface.

Incedo Business Cloud for dispersed locations

Managing access control via the cloud allows start-ups to think differently. In Czechia, the remote management and instant scalability of Incedo Business Cloud helped Kolovna to reimagine bike rental on a national scale. The Kolovna Project aims to make cycling more widespread, not only by offering top-quality rentals but also by improving trip logistics. Kolovna‘s solution is to open a secured bicycle container at locations across Czechia.

Kolovna’s containers must combine security with easy customer access, including unlocking via mobile keys on a smartphone. To achieve this, Kolovna needed a platform that could multitask without additional software or extra staff. They chose Incedo Business Cloud, installing readers, a controller, and a door module at every container.

System integration for remote monitoring

Incedo connects all of Kolovna’s security software and hardware within one seamless system. Cloud management keeps Kolovna staff in control of their premises from anywhere. They can work in an office, at home or mobile. The integrated Incedo solution includes remote cloud administration, a system for transmitting video surveillance signals, and flexibility to add more access and security features in the future.

“Thanks to ASSA ABLOY’s custom solution, Kolovna management did not have to organise time-consuming meetings with multiple contractors or worry about the compatibility of individual systems,” says Kolovna’s Rostislav Posker.
