EVVA is a company producing mechanical and electronic locking systems that can rely on decades of experience in terms of typical security requirements in a wide range of industries and organisations. For this reason, you can rest assured that security solutions will always be geared towards your building situation, organisational structure and user demands.

Offices and co-working spaces – these kinds of organisations share one demand:
project-based schedules, tenants come and go – the locking system must be able to handle all these processes

Your requirements:

 

  • Ample cylinder range Because you aim to secure all your doors, cabinets, lifts, emergency exit doors using only one system
  • Optimum key copying protection Because you want to be able to rely on organisational, technical or technological key protection
  • 100% copying protection Because valuables within your company must not be accessible to unauthorised third parties
  • Continuous logging of all entry and exit events Because you archive confidential and sensitive information
  • Organised flow of persons Because not everyone must have global access

The China Unicom Global Centre in Hong Kong has been equipped with ICS cylinders made by EVVA.

The China Unicom Global Centre is a telecommunications facility intended to strengthen the position of China Unicom as an important, international network provider. It is most of all intended as a high-speed data centre. As the building demands high levels of security, "The Jardine Engineering Corporation, Ltd.", our local EVVA Partner in Hong Kong, suggested using EVVA's ICS high-security lock cylinders. They offer the best possible protection from picking, drilling and bumping to comply with specified requirement and protect the data centre from potential, unauthorised access. Thanks to the internal recesses, ICS keys are also protected from illegal duplication.

ICS in the offices of WKCDA Tower - West Kowloon Cultural District Authority

The client

The West Kowloon Cultural District is a 40-hectare piece of land envisioned to enrich the local arts scene and provide a platform for interaction, exchange and collaboration. Located in this piece of land is the M+ Museum of Visual Culture in Hong Kong, which EVVA had previously supplied with its cylinders. And on the same campus as the M+, the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority has set up its new Head Office in the aptly named WKCDA Tower. The WKCDA Tower is a 16-storey structure and home to several retail, dining and entertainment facilities. Flanking the M+ Museum, the WKCDA Tower fits right in with the District’s other vibrant, cultural facilities.

The challenge

Much like the diverse environment in which the WKCDA Tower is located, the Head Office of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, had a range of diverse requirements for its access control and mechanical locking system. The doors in the Head Office required a blend of thumb turn cylinders and half cylinders in both Euro profile and Swiss profile. An additional demand was that the Head Office required an advanced mechanical locking system with reversible key, modular system and increased security against illegal openings, key-copying protection, and grand master keying possibilities.

The solution

EVVA was able to meet the demands placed by the Head Office of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority with its advanced ICS system. In total, 140 ICS cylinders were supplied by Jardine Engineering Corporation – one of EVVA’s local long-standing Hong Kong partners. EVVA’s ICS keys and cylinders provide a clever system for optimum security, allowing for complex master key systems with large number of different user groups by utilizing its distinctive 5 track system with durable length profile.
With its successful construction, the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority can rely on the advanced and highly secure ICS mechanical locking system to protect its Head Office in the WKCDA Tower for many years to come.

EVVA’s Xesar system in the Trust Tower: a trust-worthy, one-stop, electronic access control system with minimized risk of CoVid-19 transmission for the offices of Convoy Financial Services Limited

EVVA's Xesar System in the Trust Tower: It's all about security and trust!

The client

Convoy Financial Services Limited is a member of the Convoy Financial Group, whose core business is financial advisory with operations in Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China. In 2020, Convoy set up a brand-new 20-storey headquarters in the Trust Tower on 68 Johnston Road, within the lively Wan Chai district of Hong Kong. The Trust Tower covers a total floor space of over 66,725 square feet and allows Convoy to follow their core principle of putting their customers’ needs first by providing a one-stop service at a single location.

The challenge

Similarly, during the CoVid-19 pandemic, Convoy was looking for a one-stop, cost-efficient solution for their electronic access control system that would not require traditional wall-mounted components while also minimizing cross infection of the virus among its staff.

The solution

Equipped with 41 EVVA Xesar handles, Convoy benefitted from the Xesar system by enabling their administration to assign staff members with personal Xesar Cards to enter the washrooms without having to pass out washroom keys and, thus, reducing the possibility of cross infection significantly. A further benefit the client derived from the Xesar system was its flexible design, which enabled Convoy to integrate the Xesar handles into their existing door locks. To this day, the high quality design of Xesar remains an eye-catcher for Convoy’s users, customers and guests while taking away any fears of virus transmission.

Banka Slovenije is the Republic of Slovenia's central bank with headquarters in Ljubljana.

The institution was established in 1991, employs a workforce of 350 employees and is also very popular amongst visitors.

EVVA EPS SY-MO was first choice thanks to its patented, multiple-overlap key profile and the ability to easily extend and modify the system at a later point thanks to its modular design. The locking system with a current total of 500 cylinders was planned and installed by the local EVVA Partner.

The Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB) Hamburg has been equipped with Xesar 3.0 since 2019.

The Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB) is a democratic membership-based organisation with a history going back more than one hundred years. It is supported by more than one million members nationwide. The members of the ASB Hamburg are spread across six local groups, which are merged into the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Landesverband e.V., established in 1907.

The ASB headquarters in Hamburg had previously been equipped with a mechanical locking system. The demand to react quickly to lost keys and be able to hand out new keys just as quickly could no longer be met by this system. With the new electronic access control system Xesar, it is also possible to react flexibly to authorisation changes. To be prepared for the future, they decided on the latest version 3.0. The installation on the server and the associated data security were decisive here. Nearly 80 cylinders were installed with more to follow.

Neuroth Medical Division trusts AirKey

Product: AirKey
Size: 1-100 units
Facility type: Offices
Country: Austria

Neuroth has been actively promoting "better hearing, better living" as their message since 1907 throughout the world to boost its customers' quality of life. For the family–owned business, people and their hearing are at the core – just like innovation. For this reason, there was only one innovative access control solution for Neuroth Medical Division in 1050 Wien: AirKey by EVVA.

Better hearing for more than 105 years

Quality and service are an integral part of Neuroth's corporate philosophy. Each hearing aid and each earpiece is indivudally fitted and produced in a complex manufacturing process using modern 3D printing technology and manual finishing in our own technology and logistics centre in Styria. The reason? every ear is as unique as a fingerprint.

Neuroth Medical Division

For more than 60 years, Neuroth Medical Division has been working with ear, nose and throat specialists as well as audiological departments at teaching hospitals or regular hospitals, providing them with medical and audiological measuring and control devices as well as therapy and treatment units. In order to offer customers the option of trying out and comparing a diverse range of products, a new showroom was recently opened at the 1050 Vienna site. In addition to the basic equipment for an ENT specialist, the latest products are also regularly presented here and open house days with different topics and professional advice are organised.

Very clear locking system requirements

"We were seeking a locking system suitable to assign and log schedule-based as well as area-based access authorisations while maintaining the security levels and a good cost/benefit ratio", Albert Kesisyan, Certified Partner and KNOX customer advisor explains the requirements. The system must guarantee that certain authorised users or persons can exclusively gain access to important warehousing and office facilities at defined times. It is equally important that lost keys do not require costly cylinder replacements and subsequent assignments of new keys. "We opted against a new, mechanical master key system because we saw the signs of time", Kesisyan adds. Consequently, perfect requirements for EVVA's electronic access control system AirKey.

Customised access control system

Comprehensive support, as is customary at Neuroth, was also required from the installation company KNOX, which recommended AirKey and was thus able to obtain all system components from one manufacturer. AirKey cylinders and key tags with a chip were used to secure the external and internal doors. In regards to the different user groups for the company building, Neuroth Medical Group places great importance on flexible access configuration and the option to withdraw access quickly if keys are potentially lost. The simply designed online administration, which enables autonomous management, was also a decisive factor.

The customer is satisfied: "as a traditional, Austrian company, Neuroth has been familiar with EVVA for a long time and thus we quickly decided to opt for their services. KNOX experts explained the intended access control system in plenty of detail. The levels of advice were outstanding, honest and comprehensive. The access control system that was subsequently installed in our warehousing facilities operates smoothly and to our full satisfaction. The support from KNOX is also extraordinary – we have never regretted having opted for the EVVA AirKey system", med. Antonius C. Kierner explains as the managing director at Neuroth Medical Group.

Simple and secure – no need for additional infrastructure

Developed and manufactured in Austria, the electronic Airkey system offers a flexible access control solution. Thanks to AirKey the key is sent via Internet. All you need is a smartphone, Internet access and an AirKey cylinder, as they have here at Neuroth. The AirKey app and the unique EVVA KeyCredits turn this smart access control system into a user-friendly, complete solution.

There is no need for dedicated software thanks to the AirKey online administration. Simply drag and drop to grant access authorisations to smartphones or identification media. At the same time, access authorisations can be removed quickly and easily via the online administration. Access events, i.e. "who has been where?", are alsoavailable online at any time. Just as the battery status of the cylinders can be queried. The AirKey system is compatible with all conventional Internet browsers as well as operating systems and requires no dedicated software installation or special IT infrastructure.

Vienna running on Xesar - Vienna City Marathon

Product: Xesar
Size: 1-100 units

Country: Austria

The headquarters of the Vienna City Marathon have been refurbished and now also include a new Xesar locking system.

With over 42,000 runners the Vienna City Marathon (VCM) is Austria's sporting event with the most participants. An emotional and thrilling, permanent feature in the sporting calendar and for the general public. One reason also being the excellent organisation of VCM. Mehmed Alajbegovic, head of production and also responsible for facility management at the VCM office in Vienna's 23rd district, is not only one of the driving forces, but also responsible for the installation and use of the Xesar electronic locking system. In collaboration with EVVA Certified Partner Wolf he opted for Xesar and consequently took responsibility of maintenance for the electronic locking system.

Versatile and simple

Mehmed Alajbegovic has always been interested in the sports industry. "I started handing out T-shirts", Alajbegovic laughs. He was then appointed to various positions higher up in the hierarchy and following his master's in 2010, he became VCM production manager. "However, this also means that I am not only responsible for coordinating suppliers and authorities, but also for the office building including locking system as well as for programming the access authorisations." Xesar, the versatile, electronic locking system, was installed two years ago and keeps running where it is literally all about endurance.

Each marathon is different

Alajbegovic has many happy memories of VCM and the hobby runner is most impressed of the many motivated volunteers each year that contribute to making VCM a top sporting event. "And it's these volunteers that are, if required, granted totally straight-forward access to relevant areas, such as our warehouse." In times where the organisation team is particularly busy, between January and April, the core team grows to up to 30 members. "This was also one of the reasons to opt for Xesar – in this system, we can programme any number of key tags to quickly grant or revoke access authorisations. The tags currently in circulation are also easy to replace. "Employees value this greatly – they must no longer have such a guilty conscience as the security level remains identical, even if key tags are lost."

Service as the secret to success

The assisting EVVA electronic locking systems partner Wolf is top class in terms of service. "I have added him to my Whatsapp contacts. As a result, I quickly get an answer to my questions", Alajbegovic explains. Christian Wolf, managing director at the metalworking company, explains: "this service is just included in my eyes. "I know from experience that especially with electronic systems customers initially need time to adapt. For this reason, we make sure the transfer works perfectly. However, I am always available afterwards." Wolf adds "thanks to Xesar we were able to ideally meet the demands of the VCM organisation team. In addition to great design the locking system is most of all easy to handle, making it the perfect solution for customers." The short delivery periods and the outstanding service rounded off the project.

EVVA came out top thanks to the ICS locking system. A grand total of 2,586 cylinders were installed. Crucial features that contributed towards the decision to opt for ICS were elements including the three combined security scans for keys within the system thanks to locking sliders, length profile and internal encoding. This is a unique combination that now lends Primetower the desired levels of security in conjunction with the convenience of the handy and smoothly operating keys.
