Access Control System with Contact Free
The Wave XS is a smart, fast and reliable access control with a non-contact entry / exit consent push button that allows easy and clean operation for a large number of activating devices. The updated contact free access control system functionality allows the proximity reader to eliminate the need to make contact with common points of contact upon entry, thus creating a more hygienic environment for all.
Wave XS reader technology offers 100% automated contact free access control System. Depending on the configuration, the capacitive technology of the Wave XS reader can sense hand movements. All the user has to do is approach the door and their hand will activate the door opening, thus making it easy to operate, eliminating any need to touch any surface.
With Wave XS ‘range of European – Euro – and Danish – Danish – standard readers, you can easily install a contactless intelligent access control system; even in an existing automatic door to eliminate any point of contact, thus reinforcing the security of the spaces and promoting a non-contact building that complies with the ADA law.
Contactless Technology
The range of pushbuttons Wave XS of SALTO is compatible with control units (CU) and controllers SALTO, offering all the advantages of compatible integration with sliding doors, barriers and automatic doors to further reduce the contact points throughout the edifice.
Contactless push button technology has advanced considerably in recent years, offering proximity-activated devices using microwave, infrared and laser sensors. In the context of the global pandemic, is expected that automatic door technology will turn in favor of innovation and the development of contactless smart accesses that avoid contact to create safer spaces.
Some of these systems allow the doors to be opened simply and simply by bringing the hand within a few centimeters of the reading device. Because SALTO Systems has long leveraged industry leading electronic lock solutions that enhance any door or building with stylish electronic locks, cylinders, locker locks and readers; is once again a pioneer by launching the SALTO Wave XS reader. Developed by Conlan of the SALTO group, the Wave XS reader will help combat the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, as well as future germ threats. Ultimately, it will help to reinforce security within the building’s spaces.

Return to efficient and safe work environment:
As organizations consider returning to the physical workplace, they must adapt to the new requirements and challenges, and new procedures that the pandemic has brought us implementing, and taking advantage of existing technologies to alleviate the concerns of their employees, being able to guarantee environments efficient and safe work.
Access control is the main area of concern:
The access massive, elevators and shared workspaces are a threat to social distancing insurance. Likewise, some security processes, such as the accreditation of visitors at the reception, have always been based on face-to-face contact.
Access control management can help guide employees, along with internal procedures, to alternate work times. Systems physical access control (PACS), for its acronym in English, can also take advantage of location services occupant, to support contact tracing and reduce crowding. These same systems can be used to support careful and safe visitor management in a preventive manner.
Contactless Access Control
Another strategy that many companies have been implementing is based on contactless identification systems. Among the most frequent we can find facial recognition (Biometrics), as well as the use of readers with long-range capabilities that take advantage of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connections to offer safe, contactless performance.
Both technologies have advantages and disadvantages. In the first case, it allows us a biometric identification, but on the other hand it is not clear how the management and storage of the images is with respect to compliance with the RGPD regulations. In the second case, it allows a reading range from a few centimeters to several meters to open a door or a vehicular barrier, as well as allowing us to log into networks, take the sheets from the printer, open our locker, and all this without some contact with the reader, but of course, not all employees have telephones provided by organizations or companies.
Visitor management:
Being able to manage external personnel is an even greater challenge, since in the era of COVID-19, they introduce a new variable of higher risk.
Strong policies and advanced technologies can ensure the safe movement of visitors within the premises, not only with established internal circuits, but with the support of modern technologies.
Visitor management solutions can be used independently or in conjunction with the access control system of an organization. Visitors can register at the reception, or previously on a website without leaving their homes. For this case, for example, the biometric solution would not be the most recommended, since we can find refusals from some visitors, and pre-registration would not be viable either.
For this reason, mobile phone authentication systems are and will continue to be positioned as the most efficient, safe and economical solutions at this time, allowing credentials to be removed when the visitor leaves, and sent to a new visitor. Without additional costs.
Going forward:
When addressing the new needs around social distancing, contact tracing and space utilization, there is also the possibility to examine access control in depth. A holistic view of PACS can help create safe and secure workplaces, empowering building operators with the knowledge they need to minimize crowding and manage the use of space in accordance with the best practices and procedures of each organization.
