Clay – access control via the cloud from SALTO

Clay by SALTO is a ground-breaking new product that provides an electronic access control solution with vastly better functionality and performance than is possible in a traditional mechanical solution. Until now many SME’s (Small Medium Enterprise’s) have been unable to take advantage of many of the top technological solutions in access control largely because of the cost and complexity of those systems. Clay™ combines a cloud-based intuitive software platform that is easy and fast to understand and manage, with high quality and design hardware that is easy and quick to install, providing the same features as wired systems at less than 70% of the cost. Its increased security comes from users being able to easily and intuitively establish, consult, change and cancel specific access rights by person and place and time, and all in real-time, thus eliminating the problems and limitations of their existing mechanical solutions, such as the costs associated with changing locks, keys, and cylinders when keys get lost. Clay™ incorporates SALTO Systems’ wireless hardware, capitalising on SALTO’s outstanding products that have seen the company become one of the world’s top electronic lock manufacturers, with more than one million electronic locks installed globally. The key hardware element is the Clay™ IQ that serves as the hub between the wireless lock and the cloud, and is so simple to set up, users need only plug it into a standard electrical socket. Neither router configuration, nor any other cabling is required. SALTO has grown to be the market leader in Data-on-Card and wireless access control solutions by focusing on and delivering what the market needs to stay secure not just today, but tomorrow as well. The revolutionary new Clay™ product utilizes the versatility of the cloud to give owners of SME businesses the ability to control their building access remotely and manage it in real-time via any device with an internet connection, providing security that is both flexible and future-proof.

SALTO uses augmented reality to virtual preview XS4 Mini on door
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.
