The new SMARTair® Knob Cylinder: one small change has changed everything

London, July 2019 – Style, intelligence and robustness come together in the new SMARTair® Knob Cylinder from ASSA ABLOY. Part of the SMARTair® access control system, this intelligent device with integrated RFID reader is now more resistant to attack. It comes in elegant, contemporary finishes and colours, upgrading aesthetics and functionality in equal measure. It quickly upgrades almost any existing regular door to an access-controlled door — without any drilling.

The new Knob Cylinder fits seamlessly and flexibly into a SMARTair® system, providing advanced, user-friendly access management designed to make any workplace work better. If you need to monitor and control who goes where, and when, you need the new SMARTair® Knob Cylinder.

The Knob Cylinder is battery-powered and works with every SMARTair® access management option, so you can choose between online (“real-time”), offline, update-on-card and standalone management — or combine more than one system at the same site with the same software interface.

Upgrading to the new Knob Cylinder is simple: just replace an existing mechanical cylinder with the new device. No complex installation or drilling stands between you and safe, reliable, flexible SMARTair® access control. Glass, wooden or aluminium doors — Scandinavian, Euro and many other profiles — present no problem.

A modern, mobile solution

The Knob Cylinder works with all standard proximity technologies, including MIFARE®, DESFire and iCLASS®, and also offers another new way to open your doors — with the SMARTair® Openow™ mobile app.

With Openow™, users no longer carry separate credentials; just their smartphone with secure virtual keys stored inside. There’s no longer any need to collect or validate an access card to open authorized doors locked with the new SMARTair® Knob Cylinder. With Openow™, if you have your phone, you are already carrying your keys.

Modern and mobile-ready, the SMARTair® Knob Cylinder is built to make your building smarter. Its robust design, redefined aesthetics and easy installation are perfect for securing offices, business headquarters, conference and meeting rooms.

Split introduces 1,500 parking sensors

The city of Split in Croatia recently selected Nedap to improve on-street parking. Nedap’s Sensit, a sensor-based vehicle detection system, is implemented for a total of 1,500 parking bays in three paid parking zones.
On and off street parking in Split is managed by the public entity Split Parking. In this project, Nedap closely cooperates with the Croatian companies Ericsson Nikola Tesla, Profico and Infoart.

Split is the first Croatian city to introduce an integral solution for smart parking in Croatia. The Smart Parking Split project represents a big step forward in the field of mobility in smart cities in Croatia and is awarded with the ‘Smart Mobility Award 2017’.

After a successfully implemented pilot project, Nedap partners with Ericsson Nikola Tesla, Profico and Infoart. Ericsson Nikola Tesla – an associated company of the Ericsson Group – system integrator and responsible for the city wide implementation of the ICT solution for smart parking.

Real-time vehicle occupancy data from 1,500 parking spaces at 43 different locations in the streets of Split is detected by Nedap Sensit. Sensit consists for wireless bay-mounted sensors that detect whether or not a single parking bay is occupied and how long it has been occupied. The sensors are connected to the central system through a wireless network of relay nodes and data collector.

“During the pilot phase, Nedap’s Sensit has proven to be the leading sensor-based vehicle detection system for on-street parking applications,” says Marko Bartulić, Director of Split Parking. “Split has a total 7,000 parking spaces divided over three paid parking zones. Combined with 92,000 registered vehicles and being a tourist hub, a smart approach for both on and off street parking is extremely important. The first goal is to improve the overall parking experience for our citizens. Therefore, Split Parking introduced a brand new mobile parking application. The app integrates all parking in Split and can be used by motorists helping to find an available parking space effectively and ensuring a smooth running mobile payment process. The interest for the app is huge: in just three days over 6,000 people downloaded the application.”
