Overview

Elevator Access Control

In multi-tenant and multi-department buildings, the elevator is the easiest way to move between areas without authorization. Floor control closes that gap.

Each credential is linked to a set of floors and times, and every trip is logged.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to replace the elevator?

No. Floor control connects to the existing car buttons through an input/output controller, coordinated with your elevator contractor.

What happens in a fire alarm?

Elevator and door behaviour during an alarm follows your building's fire and elevator code requirements, coordinated with your elevator and fire contractors.

Can tenants manage their own staff?

Yes. Tenant administrators can be given access to manage their own cards for their floors.
