Schneider Electric introduces this week AccessXpert, a web-based security management solution. Based on the latest in open-protocol support, AccessXpert simplifies and streamlines security management for security and facilities staff that are increasingly on the move.
This new offering leverages secure, cloud-based technologies to provide facility owners, managers, and security personnel with mobile access to video surveillance, intrusion detection, access control, alarm management, and other systems. In addition, it merges security with Schneider Electric’s SmartStruxure™ building management system (BMS) to enable clearer decisions, faster responses, and maximum efficiency.
“AccessXpert marks an evolution of intelligent building integration that aligns security and sustainability for enhanced building efficiency and performance,” said Jim Sandelin, senior vice president, EcoBuilding, Schneider Electric North America Operation.
AccessXpert is a collaborative effort led by Schneider Electric with Mercury Security and Feenics, all contributing their distinct expertise. AccessXpert uses a full RESTFUL API as well as WebServices, replacing costly custom development with quick, simplified integrations.
Mercury Security’s open hardware platforms make AccessXpert an affordable migration option for customers, including standardized integration to third-party security devices such as door hardware or intrusion detection. With a robust access control software platform from Feenics, AccessXpert moves into the cloud enabling access anywhere, anytime. Schneider Electric brings its longstanding commitment to integrated, smart buildings, integrating AccessXpert to its StruxureWare™ BMS software platform with full BACnet support.
“We are very excited to partner with a leading, global organization like Schneider Electric to bring new value to security managers facing budget constraints,” said Frank Gasztonyi, CTO of Mercury Security. “Their approach to embedding Mercury’s open-access technology into their security system platform and complementary focus on building integration provides a unique solution to the industry.”
“AccessXpert is the perfect solution for those looking to modernize their security infrastructure without having to make significant IT investments,” said Paul DiPeso, Executive Vice President, Feenics. “We are proud to help put comprehensive security management power into the hands of building owners and facility managers through this collaborative effort with Schneider Electric and Mercury Security.”
AccessXpert is currently available in North America.
