    What urbanization means to ASSA ABLOY

    ASSA ABLOY has been focused on the urbanization megatrend for many years, but there are also many sub trends arising from urbanization. An increase in multi-family housing and the rise of in-home services are just two examples. “We are helping people focus on what they want to do instead of having to stay at home all day to wait for a delivery”, says Björn Lidefelt.

    • Interesting, but a bit confusing. My understanding of this report is that when referring to "wireless" it include everything that works without wires, that is any battery operated locks, regardless if they are on-line or off-line locks. This is linguistically true, but when talking about wireless technology in general, it usually refers to some kind of radio communication. In that sense, an Aperio on-line lock would be considered wireless, while an Aperio off-line lock wouldn't.
      Post: Wireless Access Control in 2018
    • The world has evolved with time as have the lifestyles of people when it comes to usage and adapting to new technological trends designed to alleviate common problems faced by the populace. In extension to Global Positioning Systems (GPS) which works for outdoor navigation and wayfinding, we now have indoor positioning and navigation technologies which help with path finding within large facilities. Outdoor GPS navigation apps are among many such applications which have guided people in exploring places which are new to them. However, even today navigating within large indoor locations is a common challenge which visitors face in venues. For more explore http://pigeon.srisys.com/blog/indoor-positioning-and-navigation-systems

    • Interesting! Can you send me more information? I'll send you an email.
      Post: Enhancing the user’s door experience
    • I believe that the biggest issue with swing door openers even today in the 21st century is that it is difficult to open them manually. My startup has developed a new kind of actuator which has enough power to open large doors, yet it moves freely with hardly any resistance when the door is opened by hand.
      Post: Enhancing the user’s door experience
