Integrated Security Platform

Honeywell released an application-programming interface (API) for its Win-Pak integrated security platform that allows users to better integrate their access control security system with other building management and administrative systems. The Win-Pal PE API works as interface between the manufacturer’s Win-Pak PE 3.0 and SE 3.0 solutions and the client˙s third party system making it the ideal solution for customers who require a single point of entry for their employee˙s data and access security levels, and who are looking for one host platform to integrate security, human resources and building automation technologies.

For integrators, PE API provides an easy path to combine access control solutions into their client˙s existing and new building management and administrative systems. In addition, the broader Win-Pak software range has the capabilities to meet the demands of their customers regardless of the size of their business.

The platform also enables support for other technology systems for the first time. Among these are biometric systems, where the API interface enables connection between and sharing of biometric templates databases with WIN-PAK cardholder’s records.

Users will save time and effort by controlling and monitoring access control functions from one host platform rather than multiple individuals systems, and operators will respond faster to security events without switching between different applications. “Access control has traditionally been a brand specific business where software relates only to the hardware of the same vendor,“ said René von Franquemont, product manager EMEA at Honeywell Security Group. “Integrating the Win-Pak access control solution with other third party platforms allows Win-Pak to be open in this multi-brand era.“
