Aperio
Aperio is a new technology that enables mechanical locks
to be wirelessly linked to an existing access control system.
Aperio locks can be installed in a new or existing
access control system and users can use the same credentials
they have for that system.
ElectroLynx
ElectroLynx is an ASSA ABLOY solution that simplifies the
process of introducing electrical hardware into a door. It
has a wiring scheme and simple, snap-together connectors
that can be used with all electrical ASSA ABLOY products
and can be installed inside doors as desired. The
solution means that installers themselves do not need to
solder and connect individual wires.
High Definition Printing (HDP)
Fargo HDP – High Definition Printing – is a process used in
the production of tamper-evident and highly wear-resistant
ID cards. HDP produces high-quality images that are
sandwiched between Fargo’s HDP film and the card, and
that essentially destroy themselves if there is any attempt
to alter the card.
Hi-O
Highly Intelligent Opening is a standardized new technology
for security and control of door environments. Hi-O
allows interconnectivity – communication between all
components in a door solution.
Inlay
An RFID inlay is one of the components in a contact-free
card or similar document. It consists of a circuit board
connected to an antenna mounted on plastic film.
Lean
The Lean Production philosophy is to use as few resources
as possible. The focus is on just-in-time production, which
means that materials, parts and products are in the right
place at the right time. The Lean philosophy includes
striving for continuous improvement.
NFC
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless
connectivity standard that uses magnetic field induction
to enable communication between devices when they are
touched together or brought within a few centimeters of
each other.
OEM
Original Equipment Manufacturer, a company that makes
the final product that can be sold on the open market.
Usually the OEM company does not sell the product
directly to the public but goes through dealers. The product
may consist of proprietary components or a combination
of purchased and proprietary.
RFID
Radio Frequency Identification is a technology for reading
and storing information remotely using small radio transmitter/receivers
and memories called tags. A tag can be
small enough to fit in a price tag on goods in a store, or
placed in a glass capsule and injected under a pet’s skin
with ID information. One current use of RFID is in keycards.
Whistle-blowing
A whistle-blowing mechanism was introduced to provide
a means for employees, in exceptional situations, to
bypass the normal reporting procedures to draw attention
to behavior that they suspect is in breach of the Code
of Conduct. This reporting may be done anonymously.
