Salto’s industry-leading smart access solutions made a splash at Security Essen, the sector’s biggest biennial event.
Security Essen is the leading exhibition and trade fair for the security industry. Held in Germany from 17-20 September, the four-day event saw over 20,000 trade visitors from 86 nations visit, a 17% increase in attendance from the previous edition.
Salto unveiled an eye-catching booth to an enthusiastic reception. Centred on the theme ‘Smart Access Reimagined’, it highlighted our unwavering commitment to industry-leading access control innovation, and the strategic work required to improve facilities’ operations and create safer, smarter buildings.
Salto at Security Essen ‘24
Every two years, Security Essen provides an exceptional platform for over 10,000 industry professionals to network and engage with the security technology sector. The event isn’t renowned solely for being hosted at the Messe Essen, one of the largest trade and exhibition spaces in the country. It’s also recognised globally for introducing visitors to some of the most advanced security and access control technologies on the market—Essen ‘24 drew some 500 exhibitors from 36 countries.
While the event has changed and evolved over time, it remains a vital platform for smart access providers like Salto. This year, between 2,000 and 3,000 visitors passed through our booth. With this increased exposure, we’re able to present to a wider audience Salto’s newest innovations that are transforming how users access, operate and manage smart buildings.

New product announcements and launches
When it comes to high-tech security and access control, Salto regularly breaks the boundaries of what’s possible. Security Essen was no different; attendees learned how we’re redefining the smart access industry by being allowed to test the extensive new capabilities across our Salto Space, Salto KS, and Salto Homelok platforms.
Besides these powerful smart access platforms, Salto stood out at Security Essen by presenting several other new solutions and innovations. These included:
- Salto Orion face recognition access control technology;
- Salto XS4 Com smart door intercom platform;
- the eLoxx locker platform suite from Gantner;
- ... and more.
Attendees also witnessed how we’ve taken access control to the next level by supporting greater integration. Operators can now roll out even more advanced, future-proof functionalities at their facilities—all while enhancing the user experience with smart, keyless solutions and meeting users’ increasingly complex security needs.
In addition, visitors to our booth were able to explore more of our interconnected Salto solutions ecoystem. Specifically, they discovered our new, all-in-one smart access and locker management, ID Visitor Management platform and our upgraded mobile access experience.

Experiencing smarter access hands-on
What’s better than discovering new solutions and innovations? For the attendees at Security Essen, it was actually getting to experience these innovations firsthand.
We believe smart access is key to making digital transformation possible and ensuring safer, smarter, and more efficient buildings. By stopping at our stand, attendees, our customers, and our partners gained deeper insights into Salto’s complete solutions ecosystem.
Whether in facility access, identity management, or electronic locking technology, Salto’s best-in-class products and solutions guarantee seamless, reliable, and secure experiences.
Attendees also interacted practically with an ever-expanding range of smart access solutions at the Salto stand. This includes everything from access control to locker lock systems, door intercoms, face recognition, mobile access, ID visitor management, energy efficiency, and integrations.
Our booth featured demo workstations for various solutions and platforms. This move allowed attendees to visualise how Salto’s smart access solutions could improve their facilities’ security, operations, and daily user experiences. A live avatar show brought the future of face-recognition-driven access control into sharp focus. Rounding off the engaging experience was a holographic display, showcasing upcoming product launches in an attention-grabbing 3D animation.
