The economic newspaper Empresa XXI recently published an article highlighting how Ojmar is transforming the smart locking industry. With its commitment to sustainable technology, energy-free connectivity, and artificial intelligence, the Basque company continues to position itself among the most innovative in its field.
Innovation as a way forward
At Ojmar, innovation is not just a strategy—it’s a way of thinking.
With over one hundred years of history, the company has evolved from manufacturing mechanical components to becoming a global benchmark in electronic and smart locker systems.
This pioneering spirit is embodied in the battery-free electronic lock OTS 20 Batteryless, the first in the world capable of generating its own energy through simple user interaction. A solution that eliminates the use of batteries, reduces waste, and proves that energy efficiency can go hand in hand with design and connectivity.
A technology inspired by sustainability
The Batteryless is more than a technological achievement—it’s a statement of purpose.
With it, Ojmar promotes a new way of understanding sustainability, where technology becomes an ally of the planet.
By operating without batteries or wiring, organizations can reduce their carbon footprint and create smarter, more responsible spaces.
The upcoming connected version, which will allow remote cloud monitoring, will take efficiency to a new level—combining artificial intelligence, connectivity, and energy savings in a single lock.
Global recognition for a visionary approach
This innovation has not gone unnoticed. The Batteryless technology has received multiple international awards, including the ‘Best of NeoCon’, ‘Best of Orgatec’, ‘Mix North Awards’, and the prestigious ‘IF Design Award’.
These honors validate a vision that unites technology, sustainability, and user experience.
Manufacturing intelligence
The company is advancing towards smart manufacturing, integrating automation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence to optimize processes, improve quality, and strengthen its global competitiveness.
At the same time, Ojmar invests between 6% and 8% of its annual revenue in R&D, demonstrating a consistent commitment to improvement, exploration, and excellence.
A connected, sustainable, and human future
From its founding in 1919 to today, Ojmar’s story is one of perseverance, talent, and long-term vision.
With innovations like the Batteryless, Ojmar shows that technology can be clean, useful, and deeply human.
And that the future of smart locking depends not only on innovation, but also on a true commitment to people and the planet.
