Virtually networked

Virtuell vernetzt

Management of virtually networked locking systems.

Virtually networked blueSmart door components enable a data exchange with the PC/server through the normal key as an information carrier in the scope of every day key use without wiring or radio connection. This takes place in the background, unnoticed by the user.
The upload reader is the only online component in this concept and acts as the interface between the keys and the PC/server.

Entry-level in the virtual network

The starter package – blueControl Start virtual (BCS-V) – includes a programming device in addition to the software. However, this is only necessary in individual cases, such as for battery replacement, thanks to the virtual networking. With blueSmart, programming is sent directly to the online upload reader and thus the key. Routes for programming are eliminated.

The user software has an impressive modern and intuitively operated user interface and is especially tailored for users of smaller and medium-sized systems which operate full time with the software.
