Learning lab session

April Dalton-Noblitt, Allegion’s director of vertical marketing, will be hosting the ‘Design, Workforce, and Technology Convergence, Are Your Offices on Trend?’, a learning lab session that will explore emerging trends in office security and the IoT as well as demonstrate secure, open, flexible and interoperable solutions to consider in modernisation efforts. The half-hour session begins at 11 a.m. Monday, June 29 and will be located in one of the Learning Lab rooms on the show floor.

Attendees are encouraged to stop by the booth for the chance to win one of Allegion’s new office access management solutions, which will be featured at BOMA. The prize includes: the Schlage® NDE Series wireless locks with ENGAGE™ technology, the cloud-based ENGAGE™ mobile and web application, plus 50 free mobile or smart card credentials.

NDE series wireless locks

"The NDE Series wireless locks address industry concerns and are a cost-effective, easy-to-use solution," says Brad Aikin, Business Leader, for electronic locks, Allegion

The NDE Series wireless locks are designed to be easy to install, connect and use. This affordable electronic access solution for interior doors utilises credentials, wireless locks and a mobile application, offering tenants the ability to manage and secure their space in ways that deliver simplicity and efficiency to their business.

“Electronic access control (EAC) is becoming a major trend in the CRE space, but in the past users shielded away from EAC for cost concerns and fear of system failure, among other reasons,” said Brad Aikin, business leader for electronic locks. “The NDE Series wireless locks address industry concerns and are a cost-effective, easy-to-use solution that ensures safety and security inside the building.”

These innovative locks are Wi-Fi enabled, allowing them to connect to an IT network for automatic daily updates. With the introduction of the ENGAGE™ gateway during the conference, Allegion will now offer the ability to manage, update and monitor in real-time when connected over RS485 or IP to an alliance member system.

ENGAGE mobile application

The ENGAGE™ mobile application – which is now available on Google Play in addition to the App Store – is compatible with Android and Apple devices. The cloud-based ENGAGE™ mobile and web application make it simple to configure lock settings, add users and view audits and alerts from anywhere.

“Tenants and property managers agree that nearly 50 percent of all offices are being converted to EAC prior to moving into their space, and we expect this number to increase as the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes more engrained in the planning phases of these audiences,” Aikin said. “We are excited to showcase the NDE Series wireless locks, the cloud-based ENGAGE™ mobile and web application’s capabilities, and our comprehensive product portfolio that includes integrated electronic locks, readers and biometrics at BOMA.”
