by Brianna Crandall — April 13, 2016 — Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation, introduced AccessXpert, a new, fully Web-based security management solution, at last week’s ISC West 2016. Based on the latest in open-protocol support, AccessXpert is designed to simplify and streamline security management for today’s on-the-move security and facilities staff.
The new solution leverages secure, cloud-based technologies to provide building owners, managers and security personnel with anywhere, anytime mobile access to video surveillance, intrusion detection, access control, alarm management and other systems. In addition, it merges security with Schneider Electric’s SmartStruxure building management system (BMS) to enable clearer decisions, faster responses and maximum facility efficiency.
Jim Sandelin, senior vice president, EcoBuilding, Schneider Electric North America Operation, points out:
AccessXpert marks an evolution of intelligent building integration that aligns security management and sustainability for enhanced building efficiency and performance. Today’s security professionals operate in a constantly changing, on-the-move environment and need access to critical data from their laptops, tablets or smart phones. We are committed to providing our customers with the world’s most open and innovative security solutions to help make more informed decisions and ultimately drive savings.
AccessXpert is a collaborative effort led by Schneider Electric with Mercury Security and Feenics, all contributing their unique expertise. Mercury Security’s open hardware platforms make AccessXpert an affordable migration option for customers, including standardized integration to third-party security devices such as door hardware or intrusion detection.
With a robust access control software platform from Feenics, AccessXpert moves into the cloud, enabling access anywhere, anytime. Schneider Electric brings its long-standing commitment to integrated, smart buildings, integrating AccessXpert to its StruxureWare BMS software platform with full BACnet support.
AccessXpert is currently available in North America. For more information, visit Schneider Electric’s Enterprise Security Solutions Web page.
