A new health centre in Stourbridge, England, has installed the ASSA ABLOY SMARTair wireless access control for fast, cost-effective installation and flexible safety and security.
The Lion Health Centre has 30 consulting rooms, an enhanced nursing suite, minor operations theatre, physio gym and rehabilitation area, a small lecture theatre and an onsite pharmacy.
Abacus Chartered Architectes were chosen to convert a historic Victorian foundry to a medical facility. SMARTair was chosen as it works unobtrusively in both the sensitively converted historic building and its new, modern extension.
The keyless, contactless technology based on RFID smartcards pre-programmed with personalised access permissions, is straightforward and secure. The SMARTair Web Manager tool allows facility staff to monitor footfall around the health centre, with the reassurance that private offices and other sensitive areas are protected by SMARTair access control.
SMARTair locking devices are wireless and battery-operated, meaning expensive and intrusive electrical cabling is not required. SMARTair can be retrofitted to an existing building as SMARTair installers simply replace any standard door’s mechanical lock with a SMARTair device, and connect it to the SMARTair software.
The SMARTair Web Manager tool works in any standard internet browser, with https:// protocol communication and SSL password encryption. In addition, the tool makes adding, amending or deleting a user easy. One simple click can cancel a smartcard’s access rights, therefore keeping the Lion Health Centre safe and secure.
