IOT SOLUTION FOR A SMART LOCK SYSTEM FROM BURG
BURG F.W.Lüling KG
Founded in 1890, the traditional company Burg Lüling stands for modern lock systems of the highest quality - Made in Germany - with a high degree of security and flexibility. With the 'e.options' brand founded in 2014, Burg further expanded its product range for electronic lock systems. A particular added value for Burg's customers is that the locks do not require any complex wiring, which makes both initial setup and conversion significantly less complicated and less expensive.
The Challenge
Burg recognized very early on how important it is in today's world to be able to respond quickly and directly to changing market requirements as an innovative and modern supplier of lock systems. For example, the lock systems in the 'e.options' line do not require any complex wiring during installation. However, this meant that extensions to the range of functions could initially only be carried out at corresponding expense with hardware to be connected to the lock.
The Solution
In order to be able to configure the locks wirelessly, they were equipped with the battery-free short-range radio technology EnOcean, and INSIDE M2M developed a IoT-solution for convenient, location-independent, area-wide configuration. Since then, we have been advising Burg and working together on new concepts and their realization.
Burg Cloud Architecture
The locks communicate via energy-saving EnOcean wireless technology with a gateway that takes over communication with the Burg Cloud from the Burg customer's local network.
The locks can be centrally controlled and configured via a convenient web portal. The current status of the individual locks, as well as the current utilization of the rooms and higher-level organizational units are presented clearly and conveniently. Statistically cumulated measured values are also recorded and displayed.
