Siemens releases Apple Wallet integrated mobile access for Building X Security Manager
The new solution enables its users to conveniently and securely use their Apple devices to enter buildings faster by tapping a compatible card reader.
Security Manager
is a cloud-based application to manage access control in buildings. The new solution
is an extension of the existing Siemens Building X Security Manager app and enables
its users to conveniently and securely use their Apple devices – such as iPhone
or Apple Watch – to enter buildings faster by tapping a compatible card reader.
Apple Wallet is an app that securely and conveniently organizes credit, debit and identity cards, keys, and more – all in one place. Once badges are activated, users can hold their device near a door’s Near Field Communication (NFC)-enabled lock to seamlessly access secured areas. With Express Mode, they don’t need to unlock their device to use their badge in Apple Wallet. If an iPhone needs to be charged, people can still access buildings for up to five hours with Power Reserve.
For building
owners and security managers, Apple Wallet provides a trusted and secure
platform for mobile credentials as stored directly on the devices – including built-in
privacy and security features of iPhones and Apple Watches. At the same time,
it increases the efficiency and sustainability of building access by eliminating
the need to open an app or present a traditional, plastic access key.
“By
collaborating with Apple and LEGIC, our Building X customers can enhance their
experience when entering buildings. They will benefit from a streamlined access
method that feels as natural as using their device for payments, leveraging a
familiar and intuitive interface,” said Rahul Chillar, Executive Vice President,
Software, Siemens Smart Infrastructure Buildings. “We will also be using it for
our own Siemens’ buildings.”
Building X is a digital building
platform that supports customers to digitalize, manage, and optimize their
building operations. This leads to an enhanced user experience, increased
performance, and improved sustainability. It is part of Siemens Xcelerator, an
open digital business platform that enables customers to accelerate their
digital transformation easier, faster and at scale.
Together with
LEGIC, Siemens will showcase the Building X Security Manager integration into
Apple Wallet at Intersec 2025 fair in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The event
that maps the future of safety, security and fire protection takes place from
14 to 16 January, 2025.
Building X Security Manager users can hold their Apple device near a door’s NFC-enabled lock to seamlessly access secured areas.
