BUGA’s Flexible, Cost-Effective Electronic Cylinders Enable to Easily Add Electronic Functionality to Mechanical Locks
Major ASSA ABLOY divisions are already tapping BUGA's know-how to expand their product portfolio and increase their business
BUGA Technologies GmbH, a leading OEM supplier of smart RFID cylinders for locks, has developed a simple, easily adaptable and cost-effective electronic cylinder that can be used to add RFID functionalities to mechanical locks. The "e-cylinder" will significantly impact the access control market, allowing to implement electronic functionalities in doors where it was previously not cost-effective or impossible to do so.
Since the development of card-based electronic access control, there has been incompatibility between the concept of doors that are secured by a traditional, mechanical cylinder lock and doors that are secured with electronic access control readers: one requires a physical key while the other needs a credential containing an RFID (radio frequency identification) transponder. Buildings with both types of access control systems require a double management system - one for the cards and one for the keys a solution which is inconvenient and inefficient.
BUGA's product, the BINoXX - DK 4100 Smart RFID Electronic Cylinder, is designed to address this problem. It can replace a mechanical cylinder, allowing existing contactless RFID-based access control credentials to open doors which previously required a key. They are ideally suited to complete the portfolio of OEMs wishing to expand into the growing market of electronic access control systems, such as time & attendance, access control suppliers or cylinder manufacturers.
By integrating BUGA's ready-to-use electronic cylinders into their mechanical lock portfolio, ASSA ABLOY and other OEM lock companies will be able to offer complete high-performance building access control solutions that work with a single electronic credential. ASSA ABLOY France and ASSA ABLOY Germany are presently working with BUGA to integrate the technology into their product portfolio.
The battery-powered cylinder recognizes all major transponder types, including Hitag, MIFARE, HID Prox, etc. Each cylinder can be programmed to allow entry to authorized parties on the basis of pre-set times and dates. For example, if an employee is on vacation, the cylinder can be programmed not to open if the carrier tries to enter during his/her scheduled days away from the office. The BINoXX DK 4100 is also designed with a double-knob feature that makes it possible to exit a door without the need to present a valid credential.
