The new smart lock "bitlock PRO" with improved office and business specifications will be released on April 19th. Peripherals have also evolved, and these products are available in the solution pack bitlock Starter Kit, which makes it easy to start access control. (Service site: https://workspace.bitkey.jp/pages/7002-index-html) * The smart lock bitlock PRO for offices (https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd) that we have provided so far /p/000000013.000040203.html) will be renamed to bitlock PRO (2019). ■ Background of the development of "bitlock PRO" Although many companies have introduced bitlock PRO (2019) so far, customers have asked us to "unlock speed", "improve key (thumb turn) coverage", and "lost smartphone / card". There were various functional requests such as "correspondence to unlocking the numeric keypad for time" and "cost improvement by reducing the number of batteries". In addition, based on the user's experience, we have received expectations for further improvement in design, such as "I want to harmonize with the interior of the office" and "I want to create a space with the company logo and original design". rice field. In order to respond to these, the new "bitlock PRO" was born by drastically reviewing the hardware and software structure of the previous bitlock PRO (2019). Going forward, we aim to introduce it to tens of thousands of companies and aim to receive orders for 10,000 units by the end of 2009. ■ Features of "bitlock PRO" -Unlocking speed is up to 205% * "bitlock PRO" uses a touch panel method to unlock with a light touch. I can do it. In addition, compared to bitlock PRO (2019), the unlocking speed has been increased by up to 205%, making it possible to provide a comfortable unlocking experience. * By our verification ・ The number of batteries is halved. No tools required for battery replacement work bitlock PRO (2019) required 8 batteries, but "bitlock PRO" can now be operated with 4 batteries even though the battery life is the same *. When replacing the battery, there is no need to remove the screws. It also supports power supply using an AC adapter (option), eliminating the need for battery replacement itself. * When used with standard settings-Up to 99% thumb turn coverage * In bitlock PRO (2019), 3 types of height adjustment parts and 4 types of knob-sandwiching parts are used to support each thumb turn. It was necessary to combine it, but "bitlock PRO" can correspond to each thumb turn just by moving the size adjustment parts of the main body. In addition, by reviewing the structure of the product, the thumb turn coverage rate has increased to 99%. * Our research ・ Standard support for 7 unlocking methods. Face authentication and QR code unlocking are also available as an option. The bitlock Starter Kit including "bitlock PRO" includes NFC cards (employee ID cards, transportation IC cards, etc.), smartphone apps, ten keys, mobile FeliCa, Apple Watch, and remote unlocking. , Supports 7 unlocking methods such as touch panel. It also supports QR code and "face" authentication as an option. ・ Seamless user experience with just one "workhub" "bitlock PRO" is compatible with workhub Cloud, which can be expanded according to work styles, and is a workhub application. You can open and close the lock with. For example, when used in combination with a hoteling solution *, workers can use only workhub to reserve seats, receive digital keys linked to reservations, and unlock keys with the smartphone app. * Bitkey's optional service that allows you to reserve seats in the office ・ The seat reservation system and reception system are both "workhub". Comprehensive management companies will introduce systems to solve various problems, but the number of systems used will increase. As a result, "coordination" between systems tends to become an issue. On the other hand, "bitlock PRO" is linked with workhub, and it also supports workhub reception system workhub Reception, smart lock for electronically controlled doors bitlock GATE, other building security systems, Slack, Microsoft 365, Google. Comprehensive management is possible by linking with business tools such as Workspace (formerly G Suite). Examples of each system connected by workhub Seat reservation system, security gate authentication, reception system, smart lock installed in the conference room ・ Familiar with the unconscious space The design "bitlock PRO" has realized a design that naturally blends with the door and space as if it were "there". The number of batteries is halved and the vertical and horizontal sizes are slimmed down. We are making efforts to pursue design and improve performance, such as eliminating push buttons and installing a seamless front panel. -Japan's first *, compatible with the original design of smart lock-Colors for each company-The panel on the surface of the main body of "bitlock PRO" can be easily replaced. This panel can be freely designed, such as wood grain to harmonize with the interior and logo design when you want to give a sense of unity to your company and brand.

Please contact us for details * Our research ■ Comments from companies that have introduced the system in advance Unimat Mirai Office Wakabayashi Aoyama Allamanda Work Court has already introduced smart locks since 2018, but we will be able to respond flexibly to users. , I chose Bitkey as a technology partner for creating new experiences, and first introduced smart lock. We and our users like the speed of unlocking, the quietness of unlocking, and the design that matches the concept of the facility. Until now, shared office operators have had the problem of individually introducing various systems such as member management, conference room reservations, and member billing information management, or manually substituting some of them. In the past, we have had the experience of developing a comprehensive system outsourced and struggling to operate it thereafter. Therefore, I would like to expect Bitkey to "improve efficiency in IT / create a comfortable experience" by connecting various systems and hardware as a result of this initiative. In the future, I would like to create experiences that make use of group synergies that cross other facilities of the Unimat Group, and by utilizing Bitkey's solutions outside the office field, I would like to explore the creation of seamless experiences. ▼ Detailed contents can be seen at the following URL. https://bit.ly/32o7AeF Photo: Unimat Mirai Office Co., Ltd.
