The challenge: WILO Gruppe is one of the world's leading premium suppliers of pump systems for building technology, water management and industry. For its new headquarter, it wants an optimal security aligned on the “Future Office Concept”. In particular, WILO Gruppe wants to be sure that all the persons accessing the upper floors of the building have the right to do so. A further requirement is that the architectural design of the building is preserved and that the security systems are as invisible as possible. Therefore, invasive mechanical solutions, like turnstiles or speed gates, cannot be used. Finally, the selected solution must allow for flexible usages according to the operational needs.

The solution: The SMACS Lift is the solution to meet the required specifications. Integrated seamlessly into the existing lifts, the SMACS Lift makes sure that only the authorized persons have access to the upper floors of the building. Special modes, including “material relocation” mode and specific passage processes, are available.
