Winkhaus electronic locking systems: connected, intuitive and efficient

The requirements for modern electronic locking systems are constantly growing, because: The expectations that businesses, public bodies and institutions have of a secure locking system have become significantly more varied. Processes are to be digitised, administrative tasks automated and systems seamlessly networked. With new developments relating to the blueEvo electronic locking system, Winkhaus is consistently expanding the possibilities for access control – both from an administrative perspective and for end users. Specifically, this covers the following topics:

- Integration of third-party providers
- New TT35 touch terminal

Easy integration of third-party providers
BE blueConnect, an additional module for the BE blueControl administration software, provides a RESTful API for blueEvo. Through this interface, blueEvo customers can implement integrations with existing IT systems either on their own or with the help of an IT service provider. The API enables easy integration into higher-level processes. This makes it possible to implement user-specific integrations and to link existing applications flexibly with blueEvo. For example, employee data can be processed automatically and access authorisations can be assigned, adjusted or revoked. This reduces manual work.

There are specific integration options available for connecting to central directories such as LDAP and Microsoft Entra ID. An individual connection via the RESTful API is not necessary for this. Employee data and status changes can be automatically transferred from the respective directory in BE blueControl. Access authorisations can also be assigned automatically. LDAP is already included as standard, the Entra ID integration is part of the BE blueConnect additional module.

TT 35 Touch Terminal combines flexibility and security
At the same time, the access control system for end users is also being further developed. The new TT35 Touch Terminal makes access control even clearer and more convenient. The terminal complements the Virtual Network Hubs (readers with access and check-in functions in the virtual network) and is available in designs by Siedle and Elcom. The terminal immediately indicates whether access has been granted or denied by means of a coloured signal. The control panel enables users to carry out important functions directly on site – for example, manually activating a permanent release or activating and deactivating the intrusion detection system.

For particularly security-relevant areas, the touch terminal has two-factor authentication. In addition to the identification medium, a personal PIN code is required for access. The PIN is set by the user and cannot be viewed by the system administrator. A silent alarm can also be set up for use in threatening situations. The PIN function can be configured in BE blueControl:

- Customizable PIN code length between four and eight characters
- Numeric and alphanumeric input
- Use of the PIN code for two-factor authentication, permanent authorization, and the burglar alarm system
- Fixed or random key layout
- Definition of the maximum number of failed attempts
- Definition of a number for the silent alarm

If the PIN code is entered incorrectly too often, the user is automatically blocked and can only be reactivated by the system administrator. The TT35 Touch Terminal combines intuitive operation, clear status displays and flexible safety functions in a single terminal. In addition, blueEvo can be configured so that only users whose ID cards have been activated with access permissions for security-critical areas are required to enter the PIN code.
