Abloy UK has introduced Primo, an electronic access control solution developed in collaboration with Impro Technologies, a sister company. The new solution features an innovative graphical user interface (GUI) that enhances user experience by offering a more intuitive and user-friendly interaction.
Primo is designed to transform how security professionals engage with access control systems, providing a secure and efficient solution that addresses key industry challenges. One of its primary features is ensuring that life-safe doors equipped with electric locks can offer functionality comparable to wired access control systems.
Additionally, Primo includes advanced capabilities such as integration with CCTV systems, allowing for detailed tracking of individuals who access doors using mechanical keys. It also features a site lockdown function to enhance security in case of an electronic failure.
The system is designed for ease of use and requires no initial configuration, allowing customers to simply install and activate it, with alarm functionalities becoming available immediately. Primo also integrates seamlessly with Abloy UK’s established electric locking systems. This launch coincides with the release of the new iTRT2-EL controller, which is designed to support Abloy’s electric locks, particularly for life-safe doors where compliance and functionality are essential.
Jason Boyce, Commercial Product Manager – Electronic Access Control, at Abloy UK, said: “High security compliant electric locking has been our bread and butter for many years, and recognising the need for flexibility and innovation within this is what has allowed Primo to become a reality.
“Primo differs from any other product in our portfolio. With the functionality of the product able to be advanced further, Primo can allow us to stay ahead of the curve in this modern era of access control technology while retaining our reputation as a trusted advisor.
“As an industry we have been talking about mobile credentials for a long time, and we are starting to see this becoming the default in terms of customer requirements. Mobile credentials offer many benefits such as high security, convenience and environmental advantages.
“With this in mind, Primo has a key feature which allows users to natively provision and deprovision HID Mobile Identities from the GUI with no requirement for development – another compelling reason for our customers to choose Primo.
“This new solution will allow users to have more intuitive experiences, providing flexibility and scalability, making it a comprehensive solution for a wide range of vertical markets and applications.”
