individual electronic devices which do not require multiple terminations. As such, the ends are closed for mounting customer- specified connections and interfaces such as USB, D-sub and power supply. RAILTEC B is suitable for applications including Smart Factory/Industry 4.0, automation, building and safety technology, HVAC, measurement, communications, Smart Home and lighting control. It corresponds to regulations for machine building and the automotive industry.

he new EMKA mobile app transforms a smartphone into a digital key for sophisticated and secure locking of cabinets and enclosures in the industrial/digital sphere and wider environments. In the future, this app will enable users to trace, manage, and access allocated handles with various levels of permission determined by specified user profiles. This way, “EMKA mobile” secures flexible personalised access and once again supplements the range of access options available through the EMKA family of technologies.
As the amount of data continues to increase, control and telecommunication cabinets are essential components of our infrastructure. Ensuring only authorised personnel have access to this data and making modifications regularly is essential. In order to provide authorised personnel with digital access control, EMKA has developed a solution that uses a smartphone application to unlock the handle. At this point, the app is compatible with their “Agent E-BLE” swinghandle. The communication between the app and the handle is based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Secure and convenient personalised access to the Agent-E handle has been achieved using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology so that now, this new intuitive smartphone app provides a convenient way to operate the handle locking mechanism. Other locking solutions such as the single- point locking and the outdoor swinghandle of their 1317 series can also be opened via the
58
app. Upon successful registration, the “handle owner” will grant the user permission to use the app and in order to ensure continuing security, the user’s identity is checked again each time before the handle is opened. Depending on the smartphone manufacturer, this may require entering a pin, activating a fingerprint sensor, or facial recognition. In the next step – depending on the authorisation level – a list of approved locks that are within range of the BLE signal is available. Subsequently, the user selects the lock they want to open. The “handle owner” can grant or revoke authorisations at any time. Access is further restricted by using a predetermined time frame.
After undergoing a predetermined testing phase, the new app has been put into use by a producer of transport boxes that are fitted with the EMKA single-point locking system. Merging the function of advanced locking technology and a user-friendly smartphone app creates a comprehensive, intelligent solution. EMKA pointed out that the development team have designed this system specifically for business customers, OEMs and installers, who are aiming to improve their security technology, or offer their clients fresh, innovative locking options. With this app, each user’s smartphone becomes a digital key that is always available to operate locks in remote or otherwise vulnerable locations.
