Frequently Asked Questions to Fuchs Technik

Access control governs who may open which door or area, and when. With electronic access control this is done via identification media such as RFID cards, key fobs, wristbands or a smartphone instead of a traditional key. Access rights can be assigned, changed and — if a medium is lost — instantly revoked centrally.

We offer online, offline and cloud-based systems as well as mechanical cylinder locking systems, and combinations of these. As a SALTO partner for over 20 years, we use technologies such as SVN (data-on-card), BLUEnet Wireless (real-time, wireless) and JustIN Mobile (digital key on the smartphone). We will advise you on the right fit for your needs.

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a very short-range RFID technology, also built into smartphones. In practice our readers support both, so you can use classic RFID cards as well as digital keys on a phone.

RFID (radio-frequency identification) is contactless recognition of a medium by radio: you simply hold a card, fob or wristband up to the reader. Our systems support all common RFID standards (e.g. Mifare/DESFire).

Very: data transfer is encrypted, lost media can be revoked with a click, and thanks to battery-powered escutcheons and cylinders the system keeps working even during a power or network outage.

Yes. With SALTO’s JustIN Mobile technology, verified iOS and Android devices receive a digital key. Access rights can be assigned, changed and revoked in real time — ideal for staff, guests and service providers.

For areas without electronics, we offer cylinder locking systems from our partners KESO and BASI. A keying schedule determines which key opens which door; by dividing personnel into groups, the number of keys can be significantly reduced. Mechanical and electronic solutions can also be combined.

From open car parks with occupancy counting, through simple systems with a barrier and ticket column, to Standard and Multipark management with several entries and exits, we offer modular configurations for any size. We also provide pay stations, parking-ticket machines, barriers, bollards and guidance and counting systems.

The pay station settles barcode tickets and accepts coins, banknotes (bill-to-bill) and credit cards, with on-screen guidance. Parking-ticket machines suit both on-street and off-street parking, are intuitive to use via touchscreen and „speak“ up to 8 languages.

Yes. Our pay stations and ticket machines support cashless payment with common credit and debit cards, including contactless via NFC, as well as coins and banknotes.

Yes. For free or cost-effectively managed parking areas, we rely on ground sensors, occupancy counting, and traffic light control (red when fully occupied), as well as license plate recognition – this way a parking lot can be managed even without a classic barrier.

The cost depends heavily on the configuration, features and size of the installation, from a simple exit column with coin counter to a Multipark solution with several entries and exits. We will gladly prepare a tailored, no-obligation quote.

Yes: especially in the mountains, boot dryers keep boots warm and dry, improve the climate in the ski room and extend the life of the equipment. Our ZeroWatt dryer only heats when a boot is fitted, using very little energy.

Very little: each ZeroWatt heating rod needs only around 6 watts and heats solely when a boot is fitted, so a pair uses about 12 watts.

In a dry, ventilated ski room with a dedicated system: our SkiLockers (ski cabinets with an integrated dryer), a hanging depot or lockable ski boxes. This keeps skis, boots and poles tidy, protected and dry. On request we plan the entire ski room.

Our hotel safes feature a motorised digital combination lock with a 4- to 6-digit guest code, a master code and a key for emergency opening, plus a log of the last 100 openings and closings. For higher requirements we offer certified security safes from our partners Technomax and Format.

It depends on your priority — burglary resistance, fire protection for documents and data media, size, capacity and weight. We advise you expertly, deliver promptly and install professionally, from hotel and office safes to gun, data and fire-protection cabinets.

Yes. We supply high-quality, powder-coated changing-room, cloakroom and compartment lockers — also as rental or deposit compartments — with the matching access control if required.
