Spotlight on: Digital cylinders

Secure access, seamless care

Hygenic solutions for patient rooms

A solution that safeguards sensitive areas while enabling smooth, efficient workflows

Hospitals, clinics and care facilities operate in highly sensitive environments where security, hygiene and efficiency must go hand in hand. From patient rooms to medication storage, access must be strictly controlled without slowing down staff or compromising comfort. Digital cylinders provide a flexible, reliable solution that meets these demands.

With digital cylinders, access rights are managed centrally and can be adapted in real time. Lost keys are no longer a security risk, and access permissions can be changed instantly without replacing hardware. Whether for patient areas, staff-only zones or critical infrastructure, digital cylinders ensure that only authorized individuals can enter – safely, traceably and efficiently.

Care teams benefit from intuitive, contactless or key-based access options that fit seamlessly into their daily routines. This reduces administrative effort, supports hygiene standards and allows staff to focus on what truly matters: patient care.
