P100 padlock realises new possibilities for digital access management

Wireless cylinders, escutcheons, security locks and locking handles can control access through many different types of opening, but they fall short when it comes to protecting several key spaces around industrial, commercial and other premises where time-consuming mechanical security and manual checking are often the methods still in use. The end result is inefficiency in workflows and higher costs for the host business.

The Aperio P100 padlock is a digital solution that brings flexible control to new places, whatever access or security management system is running. Companies can wave goodbye to security gaps and mechanical solutions at storage cages, cabinets or gates while successfully guarding inventory, protecting sensitive areas or tightening up Health and Safety protocols.

“By adding the P100 wireless padlock to the Aperio family of battery-powered digital devices, we’re giving customers the opportunity to extend control and coverage quickly and cost-efficiently,” explained Robert Eriksson, head of wireless door lock product management at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA. “Organisations can secure and simplify access like never before.”

Compatibility and reliability

As is the case with every device in the Aperio range, compatibility comes as standard with the P100 padlock. When extending an access system with Aperio, facility and security managers continue to manage every lock and user from their existing interface and a single database.

Further, they can deploy an Aperio device at almost any interior access point including wooden, metal and glass doors, as well as cabinets, cupboards, server racks and, thanks to the P100, indoor and outdoor gates, fences and cages.

For administrator flexibility, all Aperio devices work with the widest range of RFID technologies and protocols in both ‘Online’ and ‘Offline’ mode. Mobile credentials offer optional keyless access for even greater convenience. Users already carry their smart phone everywhere and Aperio Mobile Access supports NFC unlocking, which is both easy and intuitive. Users simply present their smart phone at the device. They don’t even need to open an app.

IP66 rating

The new Aperio P100 is IP66-rated for added durability and weatherproofing. Typical battery life is two years under normal conditions.

In order to make management simpler for security teams, Aperio’s audit trail support ensures they always know who accessed which areas and when, in turn rendering incident investigation even faster. Remote unlocking in ‘Online’ mode maintains control from anywhere, even during an emergency scenario.

“Aperio already works with over 100 different security, building management and access control systems around the world,” asserted Robert Eriksson, “and that number is still growing.”

In conclusion, Eriksson stated: “The new P100 wireless padlock brings the award-winning Aperio technology to a whole new range of indoor and outdoor applications, helping businesses to ready their access regimes for what’s ahead.”
