Unobtrusive electronic locking

Servocell, a developer of integrated access control systems, has launched a range of self-contained cabinet latch systems for the healthcare sector.

The range provides an unobtrusive electronic lock mechanism for internal applications where previously the only viable solution was a mechanical lock.

The product, which is based around Servocell’s patented Active Latch technology, is said to be easily retrofitted into existing furniture as a standalone system with its own access control. It will also shortly be available in versions that can connect to an existing wired or wireless infrastructure, providing the healthcare sector with a low-powered, cost-effective intelligent lock.

The entry-level products provide key management, whilst the mid-range products offer the additional benefit of locally stored audit. Units connected to networks can be remotely actuated. Measuring less than 12mm in thickness, the locks can be discreetly fitted to cabinet floors, or down the side of drawers. The technology within the locks has been tested to work reliably for at least 1 million cycles.

Simon Powell, CTO of Servocell, commented: “The compact size and integral electronics of this new range of Cabinet Latch products open up a wide variety of applications where current electronic solutions are too bulky and power hungry.”
