ZuKo, already at that time on the Musegg wall
This year's Siaxma customer event began with a tour of the Lucerne Business Park. There, the company has converted and expanded the existing access control system.
The unmistakable blue Business Park Luzern building with its 11,000 m2 of office and storage space allows for a variety of uses, which requires an adaptable access system. One of the ways the installation was converted from a single-tenant solution with five readers and high security requirements to an "open" system with many tenants and over 30 readers was by linking online and offline components. With the same badge, building users will also be able to use the copier, pay in the canteen and, in the foreseeable future, operate the elevators.
The importance of clarifying needs and careful planning before purchasing an access control system was Max Keller's main message to his customers. Siaxma-customers. He based his remarks on the Business dossier "Evaluation of an Access Control System", which can be obtained from the Swiss Association of Security System Installers SES in Zollikofen, and here as PDF is available for download. There are so many different systems and approaches to solutions that early consultation with specialists and detailed questionnaires and checklists is highly recommended. According to Keller, the involvement of employees, official requirements and data protection are often forgotten.
The guided tour of the famous Lucerne Musegg Wall dating back to the 13th century was not part of the supporting program by chance: The fortification with its original 30 towers ultimately served to protect against unwanted intruders and thus to control access.
