Galaxy Control Systems, a provider of integrated access control and security solutions, introduced System Galaxy v10.5 at ISC West 2017. New features include integration capability with KONE elevator products and ASSA ABLOY DSR IP-enabled locks as well as updated support for OnSSI’s Ocularis SDK.

“Collaboration with these and other manufacturers has emerged as a significant way for Galaxy to provide customers with a more robust and fully integrated access control solution,” said Robert Laughlin, President, Galaxy Control Systems. “We’re excited about leveraging these new opportunities.”

Key features

System Galaxy features include:

  • KONE Elevator: The integration of System Galaxy with KONE Elevator control systems increases security while improving people flow. Galaxy Control Systems provides the card readers, access control computer and network infrastructure while KONE supplies the elevator group controllers and control panel as well as space for installing card readers. A TCP/IP interface makes installation easy.
  • ASSA ABLOY DSR IP-Enabled Locks: Utilising a Java-based web service called Door Service Router (DSR), locks can quickly and efficiently communicate with System Galaxy for real-time monitoring without the need for additional door controllers.
  • OnSSI Ocularis VMS: Updated support now ensures integration and availability of the latest features and functions.

Robust capabilities and unlimited scalability

The new integrations and updated support complement the robust capabilities and user features, unlimited scalability and ease of installation that make System Galaxy software the most comprehensive access control and management platform on the market.

Galaxy Control Systems’ System Galaxy access control software provides traditional thick client, mobile device applications, and web-based thin client user interfaces on a SQL-based, virtual/host or client/server architecture. The software enables active directory support for real-time identity management, individualised identity-based door access, and audit reports for each screen view or credential holder. Additionally, the software supports all legacy Galaxy hardware and infrastructure, ensuring customers continue to benefit from their investment in legacy solutions.
