Smart lock technologies and space management contribute to ensuring social distancing, reducing contact with common surfaces, and enabling remote space use.
Contactless and remote activation technologies, key to security in ‘Smart Buildings’
The return to the office after lockdown has highlighted the need to implement smart locking and space management systems that ensure controlled access to specific areas and assets, and help prevent potential infections. These innovative solutions are an efficient response to the needs of work environments.
The pandemic has brought about profound changes in the way we work over the past year, which have made it necessary to maximise hygiene, disinfection, and safety measures at our workplaces. These measures have been effectively implemented thanks to Facility Management and intelligent space and security management systems within Smart Buildings.
Even before the health crisis, the concept of the smart office had started undergoing a transformation, aimed at optimising and making the most of physical space, and achieving an effective ROI on the investment in office real estate. Thanks to digitalisation, this trend has been able to combine technology and furniture to offer different options for space distribution and to facilitate a dynamic and efficient use of the area, something that would have seemed a chimera only a few years ago.
Security and efficiency
The result is a workspace concept in which personal lockers have become elements that guarantee health safety conditions in the work environment and provide enhanced levels of security and user experience through smart locks. This commitment to efficiency has turned the optimisation and management of space into a necessity, prompting the search for adaptable systems that cater to all forms of work and meet the needs of each organisation.
Anti-covid measures
This need has become even more evident with anti-COVID measures. The requirement to ensure social distancing, minimise contact with common surfaces, and manage space remotely has highlighted the necessity of using cutting-edge technologies that reduce the risk of contagion. To achieve this goal, OJMAR offers electronic locking systems that guarantee separation between different groups of people, as well as innovative contactless mechanisms with RFID technology that help maintain health safety in the workplace. Its catalogue of “zero-contact” solutions is complemented by the OCS.Smart system, which allows furniture to be locked and unlocked via a Smartphone, along with a comprehensive list of locks with anti-bacterial treatment.
Space management and object custody
Additionally, OJMAR specialises in optimising space management and object custody with solutions that range from lockers programmed for individual use to shared-use solutions, even designed for use by different human groups, with traceability systems that facilitate activity recording and allow precise tracking in high-traffic areas.
From numeric code to RFID
Smart locking systems offer a lifespan of 10 years and can be integrated into any part of the building to perform different functions thanks to their technology: from numeric code systems, RFID, Bluetooth to the innovative wireless system, which allows users to move freely around the workplace while controlling access, including parking, lockers, etc.
Control and sustainability
These solutions offer full security within the building and facilitate the management of different areas thanks to control systems that enable access to the list of usage events. OJMAR’s electronic systems are manufactured in its plant in Elgoibar (Gipuzkoa), ISO 14001 certified.
