Abloy UK launches a new CPD training course approved by RIBA, entitled ‘Digital Transformation in Physical Security’, which attendees can complete to achieve double CPD points.

This course provides insight into the disruptive world of digital technology, and how it’s impacting on conventional physical security with the introduction of mechatronic locks and keys. Delegates will learn how the technology can be deployed to achieve an innovative, integrated and future-proof locking solution. The course reveals the benefits of this technology including improved levels of security, traceability and management of assets.

Access control solutions

Attendees will also examine how improvements in efficiency can reduce an organisation’s carbon footprint to create a more sustainable future. Another topic covered is how digital technology can be integrated into an organisation’s operational systems and processes to deliver a safer, more efficient work place - leading to a rapid return on investment.

An explanation is given as to why this technology is more cost effective and quicker to deploy

The course explains how the data from a locking system can be shared with health, safety, and staff competency processes to contribute towards seamless corporate compliance. In addition, an explanation is given as to why this technology is more cost effective and quicker to deploy, while at the same time being more aesthetically pleasing than many conventional access control solutions. Attendees of the course will work towards a number of learning outcomes, such as how to improve the design and usability of buildings with the inclusion of digital, future-proof mechatronic locking solutions to help achieve Smart Buildings.

Mechatronic locking solution

They will also learn how the cost-effective, aesthetic deployment can return a speedy ROI, and take confidence in being able to deliver scalable and flexible locking solutions, which can quickly and easily be adapted as the building or end user’s needs change. Insights will also be given into how a mechatronic locking solution reduces cost and improves sustainability, and has become part of the IoT and Big Data, and the benefits that delivers.

Pip Courcoux, Sales and Product Manager - CLIQ Systems at Abloy UK, explained: “Here at Abloy we have a long standing heritage in manufacturing high quality products and delivering innovative and compliant locking solutions for the most demanding of applications. Our Academy has underpinned this by providing training courses to educate and inform on standards, legislation, best practice and now developing technology with this brand new CPD.”
