Users can upgrade to a cloud-based, open API security platform without the cost of replacing their existing hardware infrastructure.
BUFFALO GROVE, IL, Nov 26, 2024 – Siemens and Genea recently announced a second collaborative effort to provide security professionals and facility managers with improved security using the cloud. The security solution allows teams to leverage their existing technology, like security cameras, door readers, controllers and more, and manage it all from a modern dashboard, anytime, anywhere.
Through Genea’s customizable, cloud-based, open API platform, Siemens’ security customers can now integrate various current building systems or applications, such as visitor management, Apple Wallet, video management or identity management. Genea makes it possible to assign and distribute NFC and Bluetooth mobile credentials directly to users’ smartphones. As an added convenience, credentials can also be stored in Apple and Google Wallet, for easier accessibility.
Since Genea runs on non-proprietary door readers and Mercury controllers, customers can transition to the cloud without paying to replace their entire hardware system. This commitment to open standards helps guarantee that the integrated systems will provide exceptional performance while safeguarding customers’ investments in security infrastructure.
“Teaming up with Genea underscores our dedication to expanding the Siemens Connect Ecosystem program by delivering top-tier security solutions using non-proprietary Mercury hardware,” said Rich Reidy, US Security Segment Head of the Buildings business at Siemens Smart Infrastructure USA. “As a trusted and proven leader in the industry, Genea’s advanced platform and flexible technology align perfectly with our goal of offering cutting-edge, adaptable solutions for the future.”
Genea and Siemens first collaborated five years ago with the goal of enhancing commercial real estate operations. With Genea On-Demand HVAC and Genea Submeter Billing, property teams were able to drive significant energy savings and operational efficiencies.
This latest joint effort gives Siemens’ customers a flexible security solution that remains adaptable to the evolving needs of enterprises, universities, schools, healthcare facilities, commercial real estate properties and other markets.
“We are excited to once again collaborate with Siemens, a company that shares our dedication to innovation and excellence,” said Eric Moe, senior vice president of sales, security at Genea. “This latest endeavor that targets the physical security market allows us to pair with an industry leader and help more organizations transition to cloud-based security.”
