Requirements

  • A portfolio of devices suited to controlling access to different rooms and zones at the facility
  • A trusted solution built to high standards and with a real-world track record of reliability and security
  • Cost-efficient installation and straightforward management of access control hardware and software
  • A scalable solution that grows as the company does

Solution

As a company whose reputation is founded on engineering, King Engine Bearings understands the importance of manufacturing. ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions’ Incedo Business access control system met their desire for a solution designed and built to «superior European standards and quality», according to Koby Ben Hamu.

Access between various areas of the facility are secured and monitored with ASSA ABLOY readers. Incedo controllers and door modules connect the hardware to Incedo’s flexible software. All devices work seamlessly within the same ecosystem. Access decisions are managed from a single interface, which saves staff admin time.

Incedo is a modular, platform-based solution which provides customers with a future-proof, scalable access control system. The Incedo device portfolio includes wired readers and wireless Aperio® door devices plus a choice of card- and smartphone-based credentials, which may be used simultaneously.

Key-operated electronic ASSA ABLOY PULSE locks — powered by innovative energy-harvesting technology — may also be added, if needed. For almost any opening, Incedo has a robust, field-tested solution.

Additionally, with Incedo, King Engine Bearings have the option to extend the coverage of their access control system whenever they choose. Their access control is future-proofed.
