The systems are designed to be exceptionally easy to install and use.

We produce a full range of systems from single door applications to PC based network systems for hundreds of doors.

The advantages of electronic access control:
An increasing number of organisations of all sizes have been recognising the benefits of replacing their old key based systems for controlling access to buildings with card or token based access control systems. The benefits in lower running costs and ease of administration are well proven. For example, when a key is lost, locks have to be replaced to maintain security levels. By contrast, an access control system will simply allow cards or tokens to be cancelled. Card access systems provide flexible, convenient and secure control over who can go where.

Why are we different?:
Above all our systems are designed to be exceptionally easy to install and use. The drive for simplicity in the design of our products provides systems which are easy to use and understand. This results in low training, administration and support costs for the system user.

Passivent

Minimising energy consumption and carbon emissions in commercial, industrial and domestic buildings is being achieved through new developments from Passivent Ltd, the UK’s leading supplier of natural ventilation systems.

Passivent ‘commercial’ natural ventilation systems are proven in real life to be one of the strategies to attain up to an A rating under the new Energy Performance Certificate. Their performance enables their qualification for credits under the BREEAM verification system (often helping buildings to achieve at least a ‘very good’ rating) and towards achievement of Building Regulations Approved Document L(Conservation of Fuel & Power). Further, they reduce energy consumption over air conditioned buildings by up to 50%, yield 15% savings on capital costs, 75% savings on maintenance costs, and eliminate the need for a separate plant room: in one installation* the Passivent system is being calculated at reducing energy demand by up to 80%!

In a domestic environment, independent testing using SAP software on a three-bedroomed house with four ‘wet’ rooms (kitchen, utility, bathroom, en-suite) showed that there was no better solution to achieve the Code for Sustainable Homes’ Level 3 or better than Passivent Passive Stack Ventilation. In a similar three bedroomed, four wet room apartment, the Passive Stack option attained almost 10% improvement on the TER.

The savings are achieved by harnessing the physics of natural air movement, of pressure and temperature, similar to how a chimney functions. Warm internal air rises naturally; higher external air pressure moving across the roof draws the ‘used’ internal air out of the building through strategically placed terminals.

As air movement is constant, the Passivent system functions 24/7. This also provides effective night cooling as internal and external temperatures have a higher variance at night, increasing convection and removal of surplus heat gain within the building, minimizing energy consumption to bring the building down to the required temperature, helping ensure a pleasant, fresh environment within the next day and reducing incidence of ‘sick building syndrome’. Research shows people’s performance-be it worker output, student learning or health- is improved in naturally ventilated buildings.

Passivent is a founder member of the NatVent EC-EU-funded project co-ordinated by the Building Research Establishment to develop practical natural ventilation solutions for the commercial sector, and is developing “smart” solutions to promote adoption of natural ventilation. The company is the UK’s leading designer and supplier of natural ventilation systems for both domestic and commercial applications. The company has contributed to the BISRIA guide BG2/2005 Wind Driven Natural Ventilation Systems, as well as being members of the DfES steering committee on ventilation guidance for schools, Building Bulletin 101

Panasonic

Panasonic Document Systems offer a complete solution to your office needs
Panasonic Document Systems Group is the up and coming manufacturer in the document arena, representing a wide range of products and solutions, all of which are synonymous with innovation, quality, performance and reliability.

Panasonic is a brand name for Matsushita Electric Industrial Co Ltd. of Japan (MEI), one of the World’s largest manufacturers of electrical and electronic products. Being part of this successful company allows Panasonic Document Systems to tap into the power of convergent technologies, which have been researched and developed by the company.

Panasonic Document Systems offer a complete solution to your office needs, from the award winning range of “WORKiO” multi-function photocopiers to the smaller “mini office” products for the home office. Panasonic Document Systems also offer high speed colour and black/white scanners and interactive whiteboards along with the market leading Panasonic fax range.

Printers
Brilliant colour printouts, faster than ever before. Panasonic’s two new colour laser printers, the KX-CL500 and KX-CL510 bring high quality, high speed colour printing to the office thanks to the innovative Single Pass Tandem Technology with 16 A4 pages per minute in colour and 20 pages in black and white, with an impressive print resolution of up to 1200 x 1200 dpi.

Ideal for offices where a high number of printouts are required, the compact KX-CL500 and PostScript Printer KX-CL510 also benefit from a new induction heat procedure which reduces the warm-up time to only 45 seconds after switching on, 15 seconds later the first print out is made.

The innovative Tandem Technology revolutionises fast colour printing. Usually paper has to pass by the printing unit four times successively to be printed with a different colour each time, but with Panasonic’s new Tandem Technology four printing units print on the paper in one step. Therefore, printing jobs are done four times as fast as with traditional colour printers.

Faxes
Document Systems current line-up of fax machines include the ‘Mini Office’ (KX-FLB751). With space often at premium, this small versatile machine can fax, copy, print and even scan documents, and is the ideal piece of kit that includes all the essential tools that will save you both money and hassle. Benefitting from a host of features geared towards the small business or home working environment and with network interfacing and software as standard, this multifunction machine has a scanning resolution of 600 x 600 dpi and is TWAIN compatible. The KX-FLB751 is also a flat-bed scanner, making high-quality scanning of flat documents easy, (being a flatbed design means you can scan pages from books or other bulky items).

And now you can send e-mails from your fax machine. Panasonic’s new Panafax DX-600 network fax offers a versatile solution to sending out your documents by transmitting them to their destination either by fax or e-mail. This easy to use fax machine offers simple, yet comprehensive document distribution. No computer software mediation is required. With its “Send to E-mail” feature, you can send paper documents to any e-mail address via the Internet. And thanks to the DX-600’s Super G3 fax modem, conventional faxes can be sent high-speed over telephone lines.

If you want fast, effortless communication, take a look at Panasonic’s UF-590 Panafax. This versatile machine can be used as a fax using normal paper and also as a printer, scanner and PC fax. Very user friendly due to the new A-Z QWERTY keyboard and 32 destination dialling keys, the UF-590 comes with 2 MB of document storage which can store up to 120 pages, allowing even large numbers of documents to be sent in an incredibly short amount of time.

Scanning
Panasonic Document Systems has just added two new colour duplex models to their range of scanners. Revolutionary in design, these scanners have superb paper handling and are easy to maintain. Designed for use by small to medium sized businesses, or departments within large companies, the KV-S2045C, with a scanning speed of 40 ppm B&W and 18 ppm Colour and the KV-S2025C with speeds of 22 ppm B&W and 10 ppm Colour, offer duplex colour scanning and are ideal for a wide range of applications.

These two colour duplex scanners boast two new unique features, Colour Cropping and De-skew.

Colour Cropping. When the user scans documents that consist of different sized papers, the size of scanned images becomes large and takes up a lot of storage. With colour cropping different sized documents can be scanned and each document will be stored at exactly the same size as the original, eliminating storage wastage and the users’ time.

De-Skewing. Sometimes when documents are scanned that aren’t arranged regularly, or have different thickness, they may become slanted or scanned crooked. The De-Skewing feature detects the slant of the scanned document and automatically corrects it, giving a readable scanned image.
