EMKA handles for electronic systems


By Andrew Clutterbuck MD EMKA(UK) Ltd E


xperienced designers in the enclosure hardware industry will have noticed that handles for electronic systems have changed considerably in recent years; this is exemplified by handles such as those used in as our Agent E systems, which are suited to stand-alone cabinets and Data Centres using a card or a smartphone app. Elsewhere, quick release internally mounted electronic single-point catches and e-pushlock systems have become part of our daily experience when we use parcel collection lockers or pharmaceutical storage and distribution lockers, where customers buy a code which enables the system to operate the door with full traceability.


Likewise for data centres where synchronised hardware and software components have been produced to ensure a maximum level of security and transparency for access control, for example our


database-driven software Control Cockpit takes care of the central operation, monitoring and configuration. A high-capacity wireless network enables direct access to a virtually unlimited number of server racks, while the complete logging facility documents all access-relevant information and guarantees the possibility of unambiguous backtracking of the events. In case of irregularities, alerts are automatically transmitted.


An excellent example is the installation by energie wasser luzern (ewl) at the old civil defence bunker in the Wartegg hill near Lucerne; the Stollen Lucerne Data Centre boasts five major tunnels, each allocated 200 square metres for IT system hardware. In addition, there are eight auxiliary tunnels, referred to as Private Rooms; these are allotted 50 to 100 square metres per room for IT system hardware.
