Honeywell launches API for Win-Pak security platform
Runcorn, Cheshire
For integrators, the Win-Pak PE API provides an easy path to combine access control solutions into their clients’ existing and new building management and administrative systems. In addition, the broader Win-Pak software range has the capabilities to meet the demands of their customers regardless of the size of their business. Win-Pak PE API also enables support for other technology systems for the first time. Among these are biometric systems, where the API interface enables connection between and sharing of biometric templates databases with Win-Pak card holders records. Users will save time and effort by controlling and monitoring access control functions from one host platform rather than multiple individuals systems, and operators will respond faster to security events without switching between different applications.
“Access control has traditionally been a brand specific business where software relates only to the hardware of the same vendor,” said René von Franquemont, product manager EMEA at Honeywell Security Group. “Integrating the Win-Pak access control solution with other third party platforms allows Win-Pak to be open in this multi-brand era. The new Win-Pak PE API will enable our customers to reap the great benefits of the Win-Pak access control solution and integrate into multi-brand and third party platforms. This will allow organisations to save time and money by not having to work across several different security systems.”
Win-Pak PE API, Win-Pak SE 3.0 and Win-Pak PE 3.0 are commercially available in EMEA. Win-Pak SE 3.0 and Win-Pak PE 3.0 includes English, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Czech, Russian and Arabic user interfaces.
