SALTO uses augmented reality to virtual preview XS4 Mini on door

Trying to imagine what a particular design of handle set will look like on a door is not always an easy task. Different finishes and different door materials can make it hard to visualise exactly what the actual combination will look like in a building. To address this SALTO Systems have developed a useful app that uses augmented reality to accurately display how their new XS4 Mini electronic lock will look in a variety of combinations via a tablet or smart phone. The app contains information about XS4 Mini, a gallery of images, tech specs and a door configurator where you point the camera of your tablet or smart phone at the cover of the XS4 mini catalogue to see a 360° view of how XS4 Mini will look on that door with a choice of handle styles. SALTO is the first access control company to develop and use this technology to present their products, enabling potential XS4 Mini users to view exactly how it will look on their own doors. It is part of a comprehensive range of ‘go to market tools’ developed for our new generation of XS4 2.0 re-volution products including a dedicated XS4 Mini website, new  vertical market catalogues, new SALTO access control portal for our partners, new experience centre, social initiatives and much more. To use the new tool, simply download the XS4 Mini App in your preferred format (iOS or Android) to access the augmented reality application which will give you a selectable virtual preview of the XS4 Mini product range to see how the XS4 Mini will look on your door.

SALTO offline readers now support Siemens’ SiPass integrated system

The combined SALTO-Siemens solution offers customers the best of both worlds - the opportunity to control access to doors using SALTO's extensive range of powerful offline solutions - together with Siemens' world-leading online access control system SiPass integrated - all with the same card. All the cardholder data for both systems is stored in the SiPass integrated database and all events at all doors - both offline and online - appear in the SiPass integrated event log. SALTO is the world leader in offline access control solutions, enabling users to integrate their physical security needs through networked standalone locks. A SALTO offline system can manage an unlimited number of users and doors in a single system, securely controlling who has access to what, where and when at all times. SiPass integrated is a powerful and almost infinitely flexible access control system that is designed to meet access control needs that range in complexity from medium to very high. It offers a wide range of advanced features including advanced card management, multimedia alarm handling, elevator management, a video surveillance user interface and complete event logging in a single system. At many sites SiPass integrated is used as a security management station (SMS) that integrates access control, intrusion detection and video surveillance into a single system. Designed to fit into a state-of-the-art IT environment, the modular structure and scalability of SiPass integrated make it easy to adjust to keep pace with the changing needs of any organisation. It supports a virtually unlimited number of cardholders and controllers to suit any facility size. The partnership between SALTO and Siemens to develop this innovative, integrated solution marks the beginning of a new era in security management. Users of the integrated system will appreciate the fact that they can use the same card at all doors. Security managers can therefore remove key management problems from doors fitted with mechanical locks and keys. The information stored in the SALTO card provides a precise audit trail for each lock within SiPass integrated.Marc Handels, Vice President Global Marketing for SALTO Systems says: "This new alliance helps both companies cater to the growing demand for integrated security solutions. Combining SALTO's offline access control technology with Siemens' SiPass integrated online access control system enables us to provide end users with a tailored solution specifically designed for their security needs.""We are very pleased to be partnered with SALTO, the market leader in offline access control, " comments Peter Grace, Product Manager for SiPass integrated at Siemens. "With SALTO's help we have created a convenient, secure and cost-efficient solution for our customers' interior doors. We expect this integration will be particularly attractive to institutions such as hospitals, universities, large corporations, and other organisations with large numbers of doors. They no longer have to choose between the cost-efficiency and convenience offered by SALTO and the advantages offered by an advanced online access control system like SiPass integrated. Now, they can truly have it all."
