NEWS ARTICLE ARCHIVESSchindler ID destination security control - a new dimension in security![]() The Attorney General's Department recently published a booklet titled 'Good Security, Good Business' highlighting the need for the Australian business community to plan for better safety and security in the workplace. This focus on safety has resulted in an increasing demand for security within buildings and Schindler has pioneered a revolutionary new way to add an extra layer of protection, called Schindler ID. Schindler ID is a destination control system with integrated access control monitoring. The system uses keypads placed at various predetermined points throughout the building to control destination. By using personal identification such as an access control card or a PIN number the user's access profile as well as individual requirements can be identified by the control system, which shows whether authorisation to the floor is allowed and then assigns a lift for travel. Security levels for individual floors can easily be set by the building's security manager - an important feature for staff mobility. One landmark building where the Schindler ID is improving security is 66 Goulburn in Sydney's CBD. Completed in August 2004, 66 Goulburn comprises 26 levels of commercial space and is an A Grade Building with a 4.5 Green Star Rating. Knight Frank Facility Manager, Ron Zachariah explains, "Being an A Grade building, we have to deliver a high level of service and security plays a major part of our service delivery." An important feature of the Schindler ID is that most major security systems can seamlessly integrate Schindler ID. This allows staff to move freely between different facilities using the same access control card, PIN number or a combination of both.
Mr. Zachariah continues, "Many of the tenants in our building have offices in other
locations as well. With Schindler ID they can use the same security system that
they have on other sites without the need to issue additional cards and pins." Schindler ID can provide multiple levels of security, from simple access control to highly restricted use - all easily reconfigured by the customer to suit specific requirements.
