It was the beginning of one of the company's largest projects in its 100-year history: the completely new development and further refinement of electronic access control systems. These were to be used in all types of building, either alone or also perfectly combined with mechanical solutions. A new product range based on the latest technology was set to emerge, incorporating security, quality, ease of use and design. The systems were launched in 2014 after several years of collaborative development work: Xesar for major access control systems and AirKey for smaller or distributed sites that can also be accessed using a smartphone.
