Hagedorn

The Hagedorn Group is Germany’s most efficient all-round service provider in the fields of demolition, disposal, civil engineering and land revitalization. The Group’s process chain includes the remediation of contaminated sites, recycling, heavy-duty logistics and crane services.

This family business is one of the top 5 largest and most successful demolition companies in the world: In addition to its headquarters in Gütersloh, Hagedorn operates across Germany. Hagedorn’s previous access control solution was becoming too inflexible for the company’s needs.

Key requirements when commissioning their new system included:

• In addition to entrance and interior doors, many other openings at a range of locations had to be secured with appropriate access control
• In order to assign authorizations centrally and as simply as possible, a single, integrated software solution should be used for system management

Solution

Hagedorn chose a SCALA net electronic access system integrated with Aperio battery-powered locks and eCLIQ programmable key access control. The system can be expanded as much as required and adapts continuously to Hagedorn’s requirements.

The eCLIQ system’s wireless locking cylinders and electronic keys were selected for several areas and properties. The wide range of eCLIQ cylinder types can secure doors and smaller openings such as lockers, padlocks and switchable locks in machines and vehicles.

Both eCLIQ and Aperio battery-powered devices are integrated in one system. With a seamless interface between the CLIQ Web Manager software and SCALA net, Hagedorn can flexibly manage keys and ID cards from a single interface where they assign or delete authorizations.

«General authorizations for a key or card can be granted, changed or deleted at any time with just a few clicks», explains Hagedorn’s Tim Stebel.

With regard to the fall-back level, the solution was explicitly chosen to allow secure access even in the event of a power failure or other problems. In addition, their system can be expanded any time with additional cylinders and other access control devices to meet Hagedorn’s evolving security needs.
