Reobijn B.V. has been a leading manufacturer of plastic injection moulding products for more than sixty years. Operating from a state-of-the-art facility in Haaksbergen, the Netherlands, the company produces high-quality items around the clock.
Following a recent expansion in the production site, Reobijn sought to modernise its factory’s access control system, which is integrated into both its security and time registration systems. With Salto’s electronic smart access control solutions, staff now have easy and controlled access to relevant areas. In addition, Reobijn is fully compliant with the requirements for various accreditations, including BRC certification, which is the global standard for food safety.

With Salto’s smart solutions, we have our access control seamlessly managed, ensuring security both for our own employees and for temporary workers and visitors.
As Reobijn continues to grow, the company has recently expanded its production site in Haaksbergen. Previously, the access control system was linked to the intrusion alarm system. However, it wasn’t scalable, so it was time for an upgrade.
Robijn was interested in a reliable and easy-to-manage smart access solution. Additionally, it would have to easily integrate with the company’s current intrusion protection and timekeeping systems, while being user-friendly for staff and visitors alike.
Delivering quality is central to Reobijn’s philosophy, and it involves exceeding industry standards. "Because we make trays for customers like McDonalds, we are BRC-certified. This requires us to monitor access to our production sites, ensuring employees have controlled access and guests are properly registered,” explains purchasing manager Chris Visschedijk. Additionally, Reobijn works with a flexible employee pool, elevating the need to manage access control and maintain oversight.
Reobijn’s decision to implement Salto’s electronic smart access solutions was made in consultation with our Business Partner, Loogisch. Visschedijk explains, "Salto is a well-known name in the market, and Loogisch has the knowledge and capacity to translate this technology into the best solutions for our organization. Together, they elevate our security and access control to a higher level."
After assessing the situation, Salto and Loogisch devised a comprehensive plan that included precise scheduling. Mechanical fittings and cylinders on several doors were replaced by Salto XS4 smart locking solutions, delivering keyless access. Meanwhile, intelligent wall readers were installed at strategic locations.
Loogisch implemented and configured Salto Space, deploying a powerful, all-in-one management platform. This gives Reobijn the power to oversee its access control; the HR team can manage tag issuance, categorized by function groups, with tailored access rights to offices, technical services, and production areas.
When a new employee joins the company, they are assigned to a user group based on their position. This ensures staff always has the right credentials to move around buildings and perform their duties. Issuing tags is efficient, and any status changes or updates are automatically applied via the wall readers. In addition, HR personnel can set pre-defined validity periods. That way, access rights for temporary employees expire automatically, whether they return the tag or not.
A unique feature of this solution allows visitors and staff to use tags to activate or deactivate the intrusion system. This boosts the general safety and security of the working environment. Time and attendance system functions are also integrated into the user's smart credential.
With quality control and food safety in mind, it's particularly beneficial for Reobijn to keep track of who has been where on their premises. This insight comes in handy, especially during emergencies, and is vital for BRC certification audits.
Salto’s electronic smart access control solutions align perfectly with Reobijn's needs and requirements. Connected to Salto Space, the resulting system runs smoothly, is easy to use, and integrates seamlessly with third-party systems for added advantages. As a result, this solution has optimized Reobijn’s office and production environments, bringing a new level of security, efficiency, and convenience to access control.
In time, Reobijn plans to replace the mechanical locks installed in their shipping and warehouse facilities with smart, electronic solutions. Improving the transparency of access control in these locations will be particularly advantageous.
