allagher’s v8.30 release improves operator efficiency with enhancements to Command Centre Mobile and integrated third-party systems, and further supports health and safety obligations with the introduction of random selection. This update also improves cyber security with DESFire EV1 and EV2 credential key migration. “We serve customers with a range of needs – from critical high security facilities to small, local operations,” says Rachel Kelly, chief product officer at Gallagher. “Our commitment to delivering security that meets the highest global standards means we work hard to continuously develop and release software that gives our customers the most secure platform possible.” With this latest release, upgrades to Command Centre Mobile functionality further free operators from the control

room, allowing them to do more on the go and respond to situations from anywhere on site. Enhancements to integrated third party interfaces, including the milestone video interface, enable customers to adapt the system to best fit their needs. The new Random Selection function enables sites to comply with health and safety obligations by randomly selecting

cardholders for purposes such as drug and alcohol testing. Random Selection creates reliable, easily retrievable audit trails and ensures unbiased procedures. Gallagher Command Centre v8.30 was released on 17 June 2020. Command Centre is a powerful software solution that protects people and businesses with complete site control from one central platform.

An energy-saving solution When technology first became the primary propellant behind societal progress at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, it was largely a matter of utility, of the ends justifying the means.

T

he innovations of the day were resource-heavy and devoured power with a voracious appetite to deliver an output that, while serving its purpose, was by no means sustainable. As society evolved, so technology came to mirror its values and norms and embody the core beliefs and interests of the people, including the growing global awareness around energy conservation. Our door automation solutions have been designed to optimise opening and closing times and minimise unnecessary air dispersion – even in the event of sideways transit – and in so doing reducing its carbon footprint while simultaneously driving down energy costs. We believe in creating solutions that not only perfectly meet the access

needs of the market, but also help to protect the environment, and our unique energy-saving technology ensures that your automatic door is as efficient as it is reliable, and as sustainable as it is safe.
