Dutch school relies on modern access solution from Winkhaus
blueEvo electronic locking system increases security in everyday school life
As part of extensive modernisation measures, the Dutch school De Nassau has updated its access management. The blueEvo electronic locking system from Winkhaus is now in use - throughout an area of almost 14,000 m². The new solution improves security, makes everyday school life easier and simplifies administrative processes.
The old mechanical locking system at the school in Breda was outdated and no longer satisfied modern-day requirements. With the introduction of blueEvo, the school now has a modern access solution that could be seamlessly integrated into the existing IT infrastructure. So far, 263 electronic locking cylinders, 275 modern keys, 10 offline readers and 4 Virtual Network Hubs have been installed - and all within a few days.
High security, low maintenance technology
A key benefit: The connection to the existing Microsoft Active Directory via LDAPS facilitates automatic synchronisation of personnel master data with the BE blueControl administration software. Staff members who vacate their post automatically lose their access rights – without manual intervention. The intuitive user interface makes it easy to use the software.
Thanks to the individual assignment of rights, access can be controlled precisely in terms of duration and location. "It's really great that colleagues can utilise the system from any location, from the car park to the moment they leave the building. Our specialist department can set everything up independently using the software," explains deputy headmaster Hans Teunissen.
Another decisive factor is the robust technology: The SKG***-certified electronic cylinders used in the outer shell of the building provide excellent protection against mechanical manipulation. As with all electronic cylinders, they also have an impressive battery life of several years.
"With blueEvo, educational institutions such as the De Nassau School benefit from flexible and future-proof access control. Not only does the system meet the requirements for automated personnel master data management, it also features impressive, robust, and resilient technology. We are delighted to be able to contribute to a modern school environment with our solution," says Dr Volker Brink, Director of Product Management Access Control at Winkhaus.
