ASSA ABLOY: Pioneering intelligent entrance solutions for modern construction

Automation meets architecture

ASSA ABLOY's comprehensive entrance automation portfolio is transforming how AEC professionals approach building access design. From the versatile SL300 sliding door operator supporting up to 120kg doors with precise encoder control, to the high-performance SL500 handling 240kg loads with traffic-controlled opening widths – these solutions deliver both functionality and intelligence.

Smart integration & BIM excellence

The Digital Parks Africa case study showcases real-world BIM integration success. Using ASSA ABLOY's Opening Studio (OS) BIM software, the project achieved streamlined 2D/3D design workflows while implementing SL300 operators for critical data centre temperature control. The result? Enhanced facility security, optimal climate management, and accelerated project delivery.
