Smartphone-activated exterior doors for secure daycare centers
Secure access solutions from dormakaba featuring the cloud-based exivo access system
Kita Luna is a privately owned operator of daycare facilities. Once upon a time, daycare centers relied entirely on mechanical master key systems. Now, there’s a solution that can give parents access to the daycare centers at specific times, with no need for a key. “We wanted a simple and secure yet innovative and keyless access system that we could manage centrally and use to grant or revoke access privileges in a matter of minutes,” notes Benno Stefanec, Regional Facility Manager. The purpose of the system is also to let on-site staff focus on other duties.

Exivo – the convenient master key system
The cloud-based solution’s mobile access functionality and simple, central operation won Kita Luna over. While the head office can manage all the facilities, each facility can also manage itself in terms of opening hours, parent access and staff turnover. The administrators can control all systems and grant master key rights to service providers at all sites as needed, for example.
Simple and secure access control
At present, the access system controls the main entrances to the daycare centers, which required that electronic locks be installed in the entrance doors. Employees and parents alike now use a smartphone app to gain access to the daycare doors they need to get through.
There are many advantages to this solution. Parents no longer have to wait for entry and staff no longer have to attend the doors or keep track of a key log. Access privileges can be quickly and conveniently granted or revoked in the system. Digital keys have a temporary expiration date at the time of issue, making key management much less time-consuming. In fact, the system is being rolled out gradually to other sites of Joki and Espira daycare centers.
Installed and configured by dormakaba partners
dormakaba partner ZeSec Solution GmbH, from Haar near Munich, configured the keyless access system and installed the access components on site. ZeSec is a reputable security technology partner that offers a wide range of customer-specific services in the areas of access control, master key systems technology, smart homes and smart buildings.
