This service supports safety regulations, operation instructions and simple information provision to aid H&S goals – plus enhancing ease of operation, while it provides branding information for service and operational needs.

Typical print requirements include corporate presentation, e.g. logos etc., safety information, operational directions (pull, push, rotate, slide down, engage A before B etc.), also technical information e.g. 400VAC etc. or other design graphics to supply important points of operation data.

While 2-colour printing is standard, more colours are possible to special request.

Last September, EMKA launched new electronic systems that are exemplified by handles such as those used in Agent E systems, which are suited to stand-alone cabinets and data centres.

Elsewhere, EMKA have quick release internally mounted electronic single-point catches and e-pushlock systems for 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.

An example of a data centre installation is by Energie Wasser Luzern (EWL) at the old civil defence bunker in the Wartegg hill near Lucerne. The Stollen Lucerne Data Centre has five tunnels, each allocated 200 square metres for IT system hardware.

EWL Rechenzentrum developed a plan for the locking system they wanted to install in the bunker. The “Agent E Wireless” system fitted their criteria with its wireless locking system enhanced by an iris scanner upgrade.

A recent development for outdoor installations has been a swinghandle for the iLOQ S50 profile half cylinder lock, which expands operational possibilities by using an energy-autonomous, digital locking solution. The system can be unlocked using a smartphone or digital key and, at the same time, is powered wirelessly by the same transmission.
