Abloy UK has launched the new Primo electronic access control solution, developed in collaboration with sister company, Impro technologies, offering an innovative and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that enhances user experience.
Primo represents a significant step forward in access control software, and is set to define the way security professionals interact with systems, offering a more intuitive, user-friendly, and secure solution.
It addresses a significant challenge in the security industry, which is ensuring that life-safe doors that are equipped with electric locks can offer the same functionality as wired access control systems.
Primo’s advanced capabilities also include the ability to link with CCTV systems, offering detailed accounts of who accessed a door using a mechanical key. It can also lock down a site in the event of an electronic failure, enhancing overall security frameworks.
The system is designed to be user-friendly right out of the box. This means that there is no configuration needed, customers can simply wire it in and then the software takes over, presenting alarm functionalities immediately.
Another strength of Primo is its seamless integration with Abloy UK’s renowned electric locking systems. The launch of this solution coincides with the introduction of the new iTRT2-EL controller, designed to support Abloy’s electric locking range. This is particularly crucial for doors classified as life-safe, where compliance and functionality are integral.
Jason Boyce, Commercial Product Manager – Electronic Access Control, at Abloy UK, said: “High security compliant electric locking has been our bread and butter for many years, and recognising the need for flexibility and innovation within this is what has allowed Primo to become a reality.
“Primo differs from any other product in our portfolio. With the functionality of the product able to be advanced further, Primo can allow us to stay ahead of the curve in this modern era of access control technology while retaining our reputation as a trusted advisor.
“As an industry we have been talking about mobile credentials for a long time, and we are starting to see this becoming the default in terms of customer requirements. Mobile credentials offer many benefits such as high security, convenience and environmental advantages.
“With this in mind, Primo has a key feature which allows users to natively provision and deprovision HID Mobile Identities from the GUI with no requirement for development - another compelling reason for our customers to choose Primo.
“This new solution will allow users to have more intuitive experiences, providing flexibility and scalability, making it a comprehensive solution for a wide range of vertical markets and applications.”
