HID, a leading provider in trusted identity and biometric solutions; and ASSA ABLOY, a leading supplier for access solutions, are proud to announce that their self-boarding biometric eGate, the BG100 Speedgate, has received a Red Dot Award: Product Design 2025 in the interior design elements category.

\n\n

The BG100 Speedgate is a next-generation solution that seamlessly integrates the HID® Facepod™ and document reader with ASSA ABLOY’s Speedgate — redefining the passenger journey through airports with a faster, more secure and frictionless experience.

\n\n

At the core of the BG100 Speedgate is the HID Facepod, an all-in-one facial recognition solution featuring an advanced camera system and algorithms, intuitive multi-touch screens and smart LED guidance. Together, this solution streamlines critical airport touchpoints — from pre-security checks and VIP lounge access to boarding and immigration — delivering a secure, frictionless and touchless experience for travellers. Recognised for its clean design and advanced biometric capabilities, the solution met the Red Dot jury’s high standards for functionality, usability and innovation.

\n\n

“We’re proud to be recognised with a Red Dot Award for a solution that reflects HID’s dedication to serving the aviation and travel industry,” said Vito Fabbrizio, Vice President Product Management and Innovation, Biometric Identity Technologies, HID. “This award underscores our leadership in biometrics and facial recognition technologies and highlights our commitment to delivering secure, intuitive and best-in-class identity verification experiences for travelers around the world.”

\n\n

Boasting an ultra-modular design, the BG100 Speedgate is simple to install and available in a range of colours and sizes to complement any airport environment. Built for high-traffic areas, it integrates advanced security features like anti-tailgating, piggybacking, and wrong-way passage. Reflecting both companies’ shared commitment to innovation, the BG100 embodies the “Moving by Design” approach – combining motion, emotion and technology to deliver a secure, streamlined passenger experience.

\n\n

“It’s incredibly exciting to see our joint innovation recognized on a global stage,” said Robert Zimmerman, Head of Business Vertical Airports, ASSA ABLOY. “This award is a testament to the power of collaboration and our shared commitment to shaping the future of travel. Together, we’re delivering cutting edge solutions that enhance security, elevate the passenger experience and make travel safer and more intuitive.”

Abloy Oy and ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions have announced their jointly developed, new ABLOY Keyless Access Controller. With this Bluetooth-connected controller, businesses can upgrade their doors to be keyless – making most electric locks and other electronic door locking devices work with a digital key on a mobile app instead of a physical credential. The controller not only works with ABLOY products but also with hardware of any brand using compatible wiring.

\n\n

Relying on continuous power, this small device conceals the locking mechanism and is optimally installed inside a cabinet or behind a door and is therefore difficult to manipulate from the outside.

\n\n

\"By developing and applying new technologies, we can enable a smoother, safer and a more connected world. We see a future where any door or hatch can be opened, locked and monitored from anywhere, in real time. Our Keyless Access Controller is a major leap,\" said Jussi Ahvalo, Vice President, Abloy International.

\n\n

\"Keyless access management not only prevents downtime and reduces operational costs, but also minimises energy-consuming travel, making daily processes work smoothly. We want to help organisations move towards a keyless future and take secure, controlled steps forward,\" said Simo Pikkarainen, Product & Software Director, ABLOY Critical Infrastructure, ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions.

\n\n

The controller is operated with the ABLOY mobile app on the user’s mobile phone over a Bluetooth Low Energy connection. The device is compatible with numerous electric lock types, such as electromechanical, electric, magnetic, motor and cabinet locks but also with alarm systems, door strikes, latches, actuators as well as automatic or manual garage, sliding and roll-up doors, gates and lifts.

\n\n

The controller can be managed with ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions’ CIPE Manager, ABLOY OS INCEDO or by integrating with a third-party system. The solution offers well documented application programming interfaces (APIs) and mobile software development kits (SDKs) for easy integrations and partner solutions. The controller tracks usage and records opening and locking events automatically. The records can be accessed in the management system used by the organisation.
