ABLOY UK White Papers
Abloy UK has prepared a range of White Papers on the importance of complying with standards and regulations; they cover energy efficient electric locking, complying with escape door regulations and improving staff efficiency in a healthcare organisation.
Revolutionising Ports Security and Access Management
Ports play a fundamental role in the UK economy, contributing £10.8 billion - more than air, rail, warehousing, and storage.
The UK boasts the second largest port industry in Europe, handling almost 500 million tonnes of freight each year, over 60 million international and domestic passenger journeys, and employing over 100,000 people.
They cover large areas, feature multiple entry points, and are often very busy at all times of the day and week, operating 24/7. Plus, they have areas that are under private ownership, government authority, highly restricted, or require public access, such as cruise ship passenger terminals.
All of these contributing factors make ports an incredibly difficult environment in which to secure access. With a range of potential threats to consider too, such as theft, people trafficking, drug smuggling and terrorism, maintaining a secure environment and controlling access can seem like an insurmountable challenge.
In this whitepaper, we discuss the potential threats to port security, and how access can be controlled more effectively to minimise risks and maintain a secure environment for staff, passengers, and any other authorised users of ports. We also explore the convenience that new digital access solutions can offer, while improving operational efficiency and security with reduced costs, logistics and risk of lost keys.

Mobile Credentials: Access Control for the Mobile Workforce
The world is adopting new technologies at an astounding rate, and as a society we are becoming more reliant on digital devices. When it comes to managing access control, mobile credentials are gaining popularity across a wide range of industries and applications.
A mobile credential is a digital access key that sits on a smart device such as a smartphone. This replaces a traditional credential such as a key, a fob, or a card. A mobile credential allows you to authenticate with your smartphone and use it as your key to gain access to a building, room or location.
In this white paper, we explore a number of reasons for this increased demand for mobile credentials, including the need for flexibility and convenience, an easy way to manage access rights with instant delivery, and increased security and sustainability.
We also consider barriers to implementation of mobile credentials and recommend the type of applications where they could be the most appropriate access solution.

Energy efficient electric locking
Since the launch of the government’s Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), companies are now finding that greater emphasis is being placed upon how much energy is wasted in commercial buildings.
Abloy UK has prepared a White Paper that explores the difference between the various electric locking solutions available, and makes recommendations on the best solutions for energy efficient access control.
Securing Telecom Networks of the Future White Paper
The Telecom industry is changing rapidly. the market is becoming more and more fragmented; big remote telecom towers are turning into smaller local cell sites; and, customers want better return on investment. Today's data and voice services have to deliver exceptional quality and reliability at an affordable price.
Abloy UK has prepared a White Paper that explores tackling the challenge of locking and access control in an evolving telecom industry
Smart Infrastructure Integration and Access Control
From the wheel to the World Wide Web, the way we live and work has always shaped by advances in technology. One of the most exciting and revolutionary trends currently making its mark is the growth of connectivity, microelectronics and the so-called 'Internet of Things'.
Abloy UK has prepared a White Paper that explores how organisations in all sectors can take advantage of cutting-edge security and access control, and how they can link into a wider connected ecosystem, to deliver operational efficiencies to potentially under resourced businesses.
