    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.

    Paul Candy - Global Director BIM Technologies | Software & BIM adds value to partnerships
    Building information modeling (BIM) involves more than just software, as there’s also a human element. With ASSA ABLOY Openings Studio, we’re positioned to be a valued partner in the overall BIM process, as opposed to just a supplier of a product. And because we’re more engaged, we’re seen more as a consultant in the overall design, supply, and management of a building itself. Watch Paul Candy, Global Director of BIM Technologies for ASSA ABLOY, as he discusses how Openings Studios is positioned to be the gateway to a stronger relationship with everyone involved in the building process.

    • 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
    • Absolutely right! Making everyday life easier is what we are here for. If you are interested in this you might want to take a look at this more recent story we did on that topic: https://futurelab.assaabloy.com/en/embedding-trusted-identities-more-deeply-in-everyday-activities-for-businesses-and-consumers/
      Post: Trusted identities for mobile devices and smart cards
    • This may be the future! You have to give them a new solution. For example, for an individual. She encrypts this. You do not need to give a card or transponder to your service provider or employee. There is a company who works for it!
      Post: Trusted identities for mobile devices and smart cards
    • Very true and thanks for pointing this out Ben! We are very aware of the fact that traditional solutions, for example mechanical locks and hardware, are still the backbone of our business as well as a fundamental part of our customer's everyday situation. We try our very best to make them best-in-class. However, for some, ASSA ABLOY and our product brands are only known for mechanical solutions. This is why we want to bring more focus to the future of the industry and the development of our own solutions. Hence the future is a natural topic on the 'Future' Lab website.
