    Ulf Södergren: Sharing information ensures success
    When a building owner or facility manager looks to replace hardware, where does that person go to find information about the original installation? If we can provide easy access to openings information, we can help communication and ease the flow of information between specification writers, architects, distributors, contractors and building owners. Watch Ulf Södergren, chief technology officer of ASSA ABLOY, as he talks about the importance of sharing information through building information modeling.

    • 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.
