Pilsen Biomedical Center

The opening of the Biomedical Centre took place in 2015 to contribute to research in this area and the increase of science education in Southern Bohemia.

The new facility required the highest security standards to protect the valuable biological material they store, while ensuring the safety of its users, 95 staff members plus a varying number of students.

The Faculty required a modern, flexible and wireless door opening solution.

The area would accommodate doctors, students and faculty with varying levels of access authorisation, which would have been time-consuming to manage using the old mechanical passe partout system.

The access control system had to secure a 4,125 m² area, including laboratories, offices and other workspaces.

ASSA ABLOY collaborated with Abbas to install Wireless Aperio^® technology.

The buildings' new doors are equipped with 100 Aperio^® E100 and E100 Premium escutcheons, and there are also doors with high-security ASSA ABLOY locks.

The wireless doors are connected via a 1-to-8 communication hub that allows 8 different devices to communicate with the access control system via the same hub within a transmission range of approximately 15 to 25 metres.

Doctors, students, researchers and teachers can open doors using a programmable smart card. Facility managers can update access authorisations, online and in real time.

Aperio^® is completely flexible. Should the facility be enlarged, or should Charles University wish to extend the smart card door-opening system to other parts of the campus, this can easily be done with Aperio^® doors without cabling.
