“By industry – for industry” – following this slogan, the non-profit OSS-Association e.V. (Open Security Standards Association) has established standardised protocols for the security market. The affiliated companies develop components and codes for security-relevant hardware and software. These components communicate with each other, the key card via the software with the database for authorizations, with door locks, access control and time recording systems.
This communication is based on standards laid down by OSS, thus ensuring compatibility and independence from other manufacturers of different brands and higher security.
In this special and first Media Talk, we would like to present the standards and the opportunities and advantages they provide as well as new developments from differing points of view.
From the manufacturer’s point of view: Open architectures and consistent communication standards offer the manufacturer greater leeway with the integration of other systems. The system is compatible not only with one but with many other components and can thus be integrated into a larger system world than a proprietary stand-alone solution. In a tender, the use of standards offers the possibility of integrating individual suppliers and offers thus a strong market advantage.
Two successful and renowned manufacturers of locking and access control systems on the market, ASSA ABLOY and Uhlmann and Zacher, will provide information and thought-provoking insights.
From the end customer’s point of view: The use of the standards, which are continuously being updated, offers a future-proof, independent, scalable and ultimately also cost-effective solution. The standard enables a high level of interoperability of products and flexibility in implementation. This way proprietary solutions are thus avoided, and premature obsolescence of individual systems become avoidable.
Extensions of functions and systems is much easier due to common standards. Common standards make extensions of functions and systems much easier. Different security levels, which have to be modelled in companies for different employees and complied with for the different types of access, can be integrated and combined on one smart card. Users of Standards by OSS report on processes and benefits.
