9 Depending on the numbers and structure of buildings, this cabling is a cost-intensive matter. And inflexible too, as Bernhard Liepert explains “we deal with a large number of functional rooms and different tenants at the creative work – resulting in highly complex access authorisations. This requires flexible handling so that the associated effort for all those involved is kept wit- hin limits.” The theatre is a descriptive example: for the ballet hall in the 6th floor the dancers need access, but not the actors. At the workshop on the first floor, where sceneries and props are created, the dressers have no business. The cleaning staff, on the other hand, understandably have to do their work everywhere - but not all the times. And the outside entrances are used by everyone in the same way, of course. Another example are the studios, practise rooms and offices for cultural working people and start-ups. Fluctuation is part of everyday rental life. They didn’t even want to start with keys here. And it is immediately obvious that the theatre people and tenants do not want to be constantly on hand to up- date authorisations on their transponders or have them blocked in the event of loss. The solution: daily validation, i.e. allocation of spatial and temporal access rights at generally accessible terminals - so to speak “filling up with data”. The five municipal utility employees currently working here do this via their time recording terminals - technically this not a matter of course, but an innovative ISGUS service. There is a central validation reader for the theatre staff and the other tenants. If desired, additio- nal readers can be set up for the so-called “access-on- card” procedure. The handling of this offline solution is simple: “The transponder is written contactlessly with the authorisations when presented to the reader,” ex- plains Bernhard Schwaighofer, head of ISGUS-bavaria. “Afterwards, you only have to hold it against the knob of the respective door - and the system clears the way”. And because this is so practical – and economical – the properties of the municipal utilities divisions Holding, Energy and Transport will also be equipped with ZEUS® keyless in the coming months. “Because here, too, we need flexible authorisation allocation. This makes it much easier if, for instance, trainees change departments or even entire departments move”, says Bernhard Liepert. Up to now, the company has ma- naged with passing on keys reprogramming ID cards. The new access solution is designed for 3,000 users. A 500,000 euro project which demonstrates that the Augsburg public utility company not only has a knack for culture, but also for organisation and security.
