China Security Exhibition Network News The continuous development of science and technology, all sectors of the security equipment update faster and faster. The use of high-tech products not only represents the improvement of technology, but also represents the user's confidence. From small anti-theft to anti-theft to anti-security accidents, hospitals have been seldom concerned about the use of security equipment.

On June 7th, Hong Kong, the door lock system uses today's advanced technology to comprehensively improve the security performance. It not only significantly surpasses the traditional manual door lock or ordinary swipe card, but also extends its application range from buildings, offices and hotel rooms to medical carts. , medicine cabinets and document rooms.

Hospital electronic access control system

An electronic access control system installed in a medicine cabinet or other closed cabinet can not only provide security functions and limit unauthorized opening like the electronic access control system of a building door, but also can record the identity of a person entering the room and the door opening time. The use of this technology in dispensing equipment systems and equipment that regulates the monitoring of confidential patient information can solve related problems for the medical community that focuses on the overall security system. The current medical distribution vehicle has the above electronic lock function, so that the hospital can properly protect the drug from theft, and has improved some of the problems existing in the drug distribution vehicles in the past. For example, there is no reliable method to know the drug use conditions, the drug use time, and Medication process to avoid liability problems due to patients' misuse of drugs.

In the hospital area, staff, medical staff, patients, and visitors are everywhere, and hospital management is responsible for safeguarding various types of inventory information such as drugs and implementing effective methods to restrict managed pharmaceuticals, expensive medical devices, reimbursement, blood banks, and patient information. Obtain. Many medical devices can use electronic access control solutions, especially systems that require flexible access control, access to information tracking, and integration with existing security systems. Regardless of the type of application, in-depth knowledge of all types of electronic access control can help electronic engineers and other system designers to incorporate the right solution into the design of a closed device.

System core components

With the rapid advancement of electronic access control, it has become the preferred door lock solution for different closed devices, such as medicine cabinets, drug supply carts, data network chassis and telecommunications cabinets. This is partly due to increasingly stringent regulations and policies for patient privacy protection, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In the automation world, security, security, and monitoring account for some of the operating costs, so electronic access control is the most appropriate product. By integrating electronic access control technology, medical application design engineers can improve product levels and explore more competitive advantages.

The key to electronic access control is to have a reliable mechanical electronic lock (EML). The design of mechanical and electronic locks ultimately determines the system's power requirements, security protection, installation options, and the overall system's industrial design. Today's mechanical electronic locks need to have a solid anti-theft feature, while both built-in intelligent and mechanical unlocking functions. In terms of security features, high-quality mechanical and electronic locks are superior to ordinary mechanical locks, and it is easier to implement different access control and monitoring functions. For example, status information can be transmitted through a simple indication signal lamp or high-end monitoring system. The user can configure an appropriate access control solution based on the security level requirements or the sensitivity of the enclosed device.

Relative to the electromagnetic drive solution, the current advanced mechanical electronic lock uses a gear motor drive, which not only provides higher load force, but also saves power. Mechanical electronic locks based on geared motors only operate when actuated, which can greatly reduce overall system energy consumption. As conventional electromagnetic drive solutions cannot meet the energy requirements of high load environments, mechanical electronic locks are particularly prominent under high load environments.

Keyboard/Reader/Sosco Electronic Key Human Friendly Contact

When an engineer configures the most suitable mechanical electronic lock for the entire application, he must also consider the most suitable access controller, because it will directly affect the system's use cost and process, and Southco can provide customers with a variety of electronic access controllers. , including simple keyboard-like plug-and-play stand-alone devices, without software support or network management. Therefore, the user does not need to carry the key or the access control card with him and the use is very convenient. At the same time, this type of system is also conducive to the hospital's proper management and monitoring of the user's access control code. It also eliminates the need to redistribute new keys or access control devices by changing the access control code. Other access control methods include readers and RF-sensing remote control systems. These wireless and contactless solutions can be unlocked without direct contact and are ideal for medical device applications.

Another way is an electronic key. The electronic key communicates with the remote sensor through the wireless signal. After the two signals are matched, the electronic key can open the closing device. The electronic key is especially suitable for an environment where a large number of closed devices have different access permissions and many users. The electronic key system is easy to program and can be added or removed without having to retrieve the physical key or replace the lock cylinder.

The types of electronic access systems are extensive and can be simple standard products or solutions tailored to the type of application. For example, lockers in hospital dressing rooms must be able to protect the safety of visitors' wallets, watches and other personal items at a reasonable cost, and mechanical electronic lock systems are an ideal solution. On the other hand, in the operating room of a hospital, doctors and nurses generally need to quickly obtain controlled drugs and articles. Therefore, the touch-sensitive fingerprint reader can bring more convenient control.

Remote security system
The last link of a complete electronic access control solution is a remote monitoring or networking solution. Remote monitoring provides greater protection for sensitive and high-value assets. When the mechanical and electronic locks are on or off, they trigger a signal to the remote monitoring system and leave a record in the system.

For example, electronic rotary handle door locks have sensors and output signals that provide data transfer for local or remote monitoring. This type of solution is particularly in line with the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) for the cabinet security of servers that store medical records. This is important whether the cabinet is located in a hospital or in a data center.

Future access control

The development potential of electronic access control technology is unlimited. As people's demands for security are increasing, such as access control and real-time monitoring, the market needs new solutions that exceed the limitations of mechanical products. Engineers can use fingerprint sensing, keyless remote control, RF proximity readers, card readers, or any combination of the above technologies in the system, and can even add more advanced features such as touch-switch access control, wireless remote control access, and Inductive lighting control. In addition, the current conversion technology is also very extensive, allowing users to update the installed security system of the locker and the closed device at any time, and the cost is only a part of the cost of replacing the locker. Southco can work with end-users to design the optimal electronic access control system for system updates.

Today's electronic access control solutions provide greater design space, and door lock devices can be more easily integrated with the overall access control system. End-users can obtain greater return on investment through superior control and functional enhancements, as well as reduced likelihood of asset loss. Ultimately, hospitals, doctors' offices, and other medical environments can safely protect the most important and expensive assets: medicines, medical devices, and medical records.
