Unlike many environments the retail industry usually operates two distinct areas in most outlets, the shop floor and the back of house where the stores and cash handling are located. Apart from restricting access to members of the public to the secure areas, the retail industry is often required to manage the access and movement of employees, whether they are temporary or permanent. By creating zones that have increase levels of security it is possible to restrict access and to minimise loss of stock or money via theft. Kaba has worked in partnership with many leading retail organisations, whether they are the end user or contractor to create solutions using either standard or bespoke products that can be used in the high street, shopping centres and individual retail outlets that may handle very high value items. Retail Access Management Kaba have a unique solution for large retail environments. For the perimeter security and staff management, Kaba Exos on-line access control is able to solve the problems of monitoring secure doors, and managing staff access on a real time basis. However, remote stock rooms should also be monitored, and Kaba's Cardlink technology provides the answer. CardLink allows standalone (un-cabled) access control doors to be managed from within the full networked Exos9300 solution. It brings electronic access control to remote, or difficult areas within a building at a fraction of the cost of the fully wired system. |
