ASSA ABLOY SMARTair® software saves management time at a new student residence

  • 14 Feb 2020

For new student premises in Rennes, France, specialist provider Easy Student sought reliable, key-free locking. They wanted their new residence to run efficiently, without the unnecessary workload that comes with managing and keeping track of physical keys – ASSA ABLOY‘s SMARTair® was chosen.

Following a positive experience with the same technology in Nantes, Easy Student chose SMARTair® Update on Card wireless access control. Wireless Electronic Escutcheons with inbuilt RFID readers control access through 83 doors at Easy Student Rennes. SMARTair Wall Readers secure non-standard entrances.

SMARTair’s TS1000 software was one major reason for Easy Student’s choice, with the intuitive interface and time-saving functionality making it easy for administrators to manage their access system.

Cyril Verger, MD at Easy Student Rennes, commented: “SMARTair does not require any technical knowledge. I trained quickly and found the software very easy. The solution corresponds perfectly to our needs… Installation was simple.”

If someone loses a credential, the TS1000 interface makes cancelling it fast and easy — a major change from the old days of physical keys, mechanical locks and key organisation charts.

Cyril added: “A lost key can still be used. “A lost credential can be cancelled easily.”

Flexible, key-free door entry

SMARTair provides secure, flexible access control for every student, service provider and facilities manager who uses the residence, with approximately 100 access credentials are active at any one time.

It gives Easy Student managers the ability to change a user’s access permissions anytime, without visiting the doors – if an incident occurs, they act quickly and decisively.

Security managers program every student credential to open multiple doors: the student’s own room, the main door and bike park around the clock; a common relaxation area and the laundry room between 6.30am and 11.30pm only.

Cyril continued: “Managing this way avoids comings and goings by people who don’t live here. 

“Our students are very happy with the solution. They got used to it quickly, because this type of access control is found in lots of hotels and private homes.

“I highly recommend installing SMARTair at other student residences.”
