Smart home living is no longer the stuff of science fiction. It is here, and more and more people are embracing the smart living way of life for its keyless convenience, added security, efficiency, sustainability, and enhanced way of living. 

What exactly is a smart apartment system for Multifamily Properties?

A smart home is when all your IoT devices and appliances are connected so that they can communicate with each other and with you. And where all appliances and systems can be managed and monitored remotely. For example, using smart locks, you can grant access to visitors remotely. Or lighting and heating can be automated and adjusted according to the current temperature or resident’s preference. Or, using smart security cameras, residents can keep an eye on their homes while on holiday.  An integrated smart living home will also add value to your home and will be extremely attractive should you wish to sell it one day.

A smart home is divided into four components: 

1. Hardware - basically all your IoT devices such as your door locks, security alarm, intercom system etc.
    
2. Cloud software - either a web- or mobile-based application to manage your property from Unit Doors, Common Areas and Building & Perimeter entrances to help facilitate efficiency, security and systems management.
    
3. Digital key technology - offer the most user-friendly smart home experience to grant access to residents, visitors and guest by replacing the hassle of physical keys with advanced access options - including smartphones.
    
4. Smart properties - the central platform that connects everything to make one integrated smart living ecosystem. in combination with an ecosystem of smart home products and integrations, helps property managers become more efficient ensuring all devices and applications communicate with each other. 

A home is not truly a ‘smart’ home if the control center or ecosystem is not in place. Without the smart living ecosystem, you would have to manage all devices using individual applications, which defeats the purpose of the smart home - that of convenience.

Introducing SALTO Homelok, the all-in-one solution for connected smart living.

The team that is building our cloud-based access control solution ‘SALTO KS’ is happy to present an easier way of assigning Tags to SALTO KS users. Because we know that time is precious, especially in Hospitality, Shared Living Spaces and Coworking, the team has been working on an improved ‘Tag Enrollment’ process. This new feature enables users to simply assign a tag to a guest by scanning it via a Tag reader, everything combined in one single flow. The Tag reader is a lock in your site (Wall Readers, Electronic Locks,  etc.) assigned by a Site Admin to perform this process. The receptionist or administrator can pick up a KS smart Tag, present it to the defined Tag Reader access point, and follow the steps displayed to assign the tag to the user profile. This saves time and guarantees a smooth experience of granting access!

Previously, an installer or employee needed to add the tag to the access control system one by one and type in the ‘Tag Number’. This feature significantly improves the user experience for our customers and installers by automating the process of inputting the Tag number, saving time and reducing costs.

What would the flow of checking in guests at a hotel or coworking space with Tag Enrollment look like?

Step 1: Check-in the guest or new member to your coworking space.

When the guest arrives at the hotel or coworking space and goes to the reception, the receptionist can check the guest in by scanning the tag on the Tag reader.

Step 2: The KS Tag is assigned.

Each tag is either blank or assigned to another user; by scanning the Tag reader, the receptionist can follow the steps and (re)assign the tag.

Step 3: The Tag opens the door of the dedicated room.

When guests go to their room or office, they simply need to hold the tag in front of the door lock to open it.

Setting up the Tag reader

A Site Admin can set up a ‘Tag reader’ that will be stored locally in the Web App. This allows multiple workstations to function on the same site with different Tag readers.
 

• To set up a lock as a Tag reader: Site Admin can select an available lock in the ‘Tag reader’ section in the Web App (Located in Site > Tag reader, or from the Dashboard by clicking on ‘Tag reader’). The Tag reader is a lock in your site (Wall Reader, Escutcheon etc.) assigned by a Site Admin for the Tag Enrollment process.
   
• Then, the Site Admin must navigate to the ‘Dashboard’ in the Web App where they can scan the tag directly to the Tag reader to view the details of those tags and take action upon them. Alternatively, on the ‘Dashboard’, you will see on the right top corner a title that says ‘Add a Tag’ which you can click on. Either of these actions will trigger a modal to pop up on your KS Web App, where you can follow the steps to assign a tag to a user.
   
• Once a Tag reader is assigned, it will be the default choice; in this way, the operator doesn’t need to select the lock every time an operation needs to be performed. Additionally, when a tag is not registered in the system, presenting it to the Tag reader will ensure the tag gets registered and assigned to the user.

In the case that the operator wants to select a different lock during an action on a tag, he could do so within the flow of that action, where a dropdown will be presented to select a lock. This temporary lock Tag reader won’t replace the one set up in the Site section as default.

Tag Enrollment brings a more intuitive on-site check-in process. The Hospitality Industry for Automated Self-Service Hotels, in particular, can benefit from this process, where a smooth and seamless check-in process and physical credential assignment are just as important as a door opening.

Please contact one of SALTO’s sales teams for more information. They are more than happy to give you all the assistance you need!

Modern access control systems are a crucial component of a comprehensive strategy for school, college, and university security–especially for life-threatening situations that call for emergency lockdown. Ask yourself these important questions when considering an access solution for education.

In the wake of an unforeseen security crisis, many educational facilities and institutions around the world are reexamining lockdown procedures and are conducting a thorough review of the capabilities of their school’s access control systems. And for good reason: investigations into recent tragedies have found that miscommunication, a lack of clear responsibilities and procedures, and insufficient building access for first responders were serious problems during these horrific events. 

School safety experts have been warned about the vulnerability of ineffective crisis management for decades. In recent years, billions of dollars have been spent on modernizing school infrastructure and building security, yet, today, an estimated one in four public schools in the United States lacks classroom doors that can be locked from the inside. 

Security measures in universities, colleges, and K-12 schools need to be robust and effective, yet unobtrusive. This can be a challenge for schools which have to be prepared for a variety of threats. Parents need to trust educational institutions to look after their children, so it is vital that they provide effective 24/7 security to ensure both students and staff are safe and protected at all times.

If your school district or organization is evaluating security, you should consider the following key questions when developing comprehensive lockdown procedures for any school or district. 

What are the best practices for lockdown systems in schools?

Because the size and characteristics of schools and districts vary widely across the country, a universal school safety plan or lockdown procedure does not exist. While each school might be better suited to a particular security system, require different hardware, or have specific vendor commitments, there is a set of “5P’s” that is universally applicable when it comes to security: Planning, Process, Protocol, Practice, and Prevention.
 

What are your procedures for school lockdown?

It sounds simple, but it’s vital to review your security procedures and protocols and develop a thorough understanding of every step. School administrators often want to focus on the capabilities of their access control systems and other security technologies first. But the first step should be planning and defining the process. Then, you should establish specific lockdown protocols–identifying exactly what happens (and doesn’t happen) during a live lockdown scenario. Access control systems are very important, but they are one component of an overall lockdown strategy. 
 

Who has the responsibility for instituting a lockdown and giving the all-clear?

Another crucial step is to identify not only who has lockdown responsibility and capabilities, but who is responsible for giving the “all clear” when the situation has been resolved. In addition, think about accountability: How do you measure the effectiveness of drills? This brings us to another of the 5P principles – practice. Did everyone do what they were supposed to do and at the right time? How do you know? Some access control systems give you auditing capabilities so you can objectively answer these questions. 

How will first responders access your buildings?

If all the doors to your building are locked in an emergency, how will first responders get into the school? This question is too often overlooked. Do your local first responders have physical keys to your schools? Modern access control systems offer the advanced capability of delivering mobile credentials that grant first responders immediate access for a specific amount of time, such as during a lockdown. 

What are the capabilities of your access control systems?

It is also very important to understand what your access control systems are capable of as well as what they are not capable of. Can one person lock down the exterior and interior doors of an entire school from one location? Can they do so from their mobile device, or do they have to be in an office or a certain room? Will your access control system function even if your network is down, or if the school has lost electrical power? Try to envision as many scenarios as possible. 

Do you also focus on Prevention?

Finally, the last of the 5P’s is prevention. As part of that, your access control system should restrict – or prevent – entry to school property by any unauthorized users.

Environmental awareness among hotels, workspaces, residential living, and most smart buildings is driving significant change in the industry. Sustainability practices are now widely viewed as critical factors in the successful facility management of smart corporate and hospitality buildings.

Smart building strategies include energy efficient access control solutions. Electronic locking systems can help solve challenges in operational efficiency, security, maintenance costs, occupancy, and sustainability. 
 

What energy consumption solutions are in place to reduce the impact on the environment?

Energy usage is one of the highest operating expenses for work spaces, shared living spaces, residential and the hospitality industry. In recent weeks, the prices of gas, coal, and electricity have risen to their highest levels in decades. The energy crisis is due to an ongoing shortage of energy across the world, which is affecting many countries. 

• On average, 90% of wasted electricity usage comes from the guest room, which can be a property’s most unmanaged resource.
• A room heating, ventilation, and air conditioning  (HVAC) system can represent 70-90% of that wasted electricity!

Smart access control and in-room sensors can bring a completely new level of intelligence to a building, and, in the process, provide information that can improve efficiency and operations. Sensors are able to detect a wide range of events and can seamlessly integrate with incumbent access control and energy-saving devices.

The SALTO Universal ESD system, plus existing integrations with SALTO technology partners, allows any type of building to optimize energy consumption by turning off lighting and adjusting climate control systems when guests or users are not in the room for extended periods.

The hotel industry has historically had a significant impact on the environment through its consumption of both energy and water. As the industry is bouncing back from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting sustainable initiatives is of growing importance to the hospitality industry. An energy management system can reduce a property's energy costs by 15-40% with an estimated three-year return on investment. Without such a system in place, a hotel may be at risk of unnecessarily consuming exorbitant amounts of energy.

Using smart technologies and energy efficiency programs to save energy in buildings.

A key element in a comprehensive energy efficiency program involves specifying equipment, data-driven methodology to analyze building energy consumption, and energy efficiency savings estimates and products that meet certain energy efficiency standards and sustainability policies. SALTO solutions, technology, and products meet all of these requirements. 

In innovating to meet social and environmental challenges, SALTO’s Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), recently achievement of a silver rating in the EcoVadis evaluation ranking and 100% carbon neutrality for our factory headquarters and global office networks are some examples of sustainable innovation examples. These achievements are a major step forward in making keyless smart access technology sustainable.

Robust access control is vital for efficient, successful retail of any size or type — boutiques or big-box stores, owner-operated restaurants or fast-food chains, banks, supermarkets, discount stores, fitness center chains, gym franchises or clothing and fashion stores.

No matter the size, from specialist stores to convenience stores, which generally have extended opening hours, to even shopping malls, the right access control management is key. Monitoring access and entrances support the flow of customers through a store. SALTO Systems makes access control simple and secure and helps you grant specified access for your staff, suppliers, customers and even delivery services.

By developing innovative and reliable smart locking solutions that help retail establishments simplify their access management workflow, SALTO has helped retail businesses increase productivity, security, and operational efficiency no matter the nature of the store.

Integrating front-store and back-store access control, video surveillance, intrusion alarms, sensors, fire alarms, networks and other store management systems, gives retail and shop managers greater control and awareness of their site. SALTO Keys as a Service provides a scalable solution with multiple integrations and efficient ways of opening doors, including Digital Key for your smartphone.

Read ahead to find out how you can improve the user experience and safety for any store type with SALTO KS’ cloud-based access control system.
