Allegion US announced a new integration with TagMaster North America (TMNA), a provider of intelligent vehicle identification solutions (License Plate Recognition (LPR) and RFID) to enhance vehicle ID and tracking with a minimal hardware footprint.

This strategic collaboration combines Allegion’s Pure Access Cloud software and IP Bridge hardware with TagMaster NA’s edge-computing long-range RFID Reader and passive tags, creating a seamless and powerful solution for various industries including law enforcement, healthcare, education and more, the announcement states.

Allegion’s Pure Access Cloud software provides a complete access control platform allowing for full installation, administration and management of its access control hardware. The modern user interface establishes a new standard for ease-of-use in managing a number of access points across any geography through a mobile device, tablet or browser. Pure Access Cloud brings functionality to access control that fully leverages the power of the IP Bridge hardware solution, according to the announcement.

“At Allegion, we are dedicated to delivering access control solutions that cater to the diverse needs of our customers,” said Jonathan Mooney, sales leader, Allegion. “Our access control solution is ideal for both interior and exterior doors. However, we understand that sometimes our customers’ requirements extend beyond our core offering. To address these unique needs, Allegion provides the capability and flexibility to integrate additional third-party solutions. A prime example of this is our partnership with TagMaster NA, whose long-range vehicle identification solution enhances our access control capabilities beyond facility doors.”

The integration between Pure Access Cloud and TagMaster NA enables the triggering of multiple devices (such as a site with a barrier arm and multiple gates), from a single credential read event, streamlining operations by reducing the need for additional hardware installation expense and time while also enhancing security measures. This multi-trigger capability increases efficiency and ensures a more comprehensive and scalable approach to access control management.

One of the key highlights of this integration is the ability to seamlessly integrate TagMaster NA's AVI technology with the Pure Access Cloud software while providing a variety of customizable tag programming and design options. TMNA AVI solutions offer Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+ and PoE++) integration, passive cost-effective tags, and high-performance, accurate identification solutions. This integration enhances the functionality of Allegion's Pure Access Cloud Software and IP Bridge Hardware while creating new customizable possibilities for customers seeking advanced security solutions.

“We are delighted to join forces with Allegion to offer integrated solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers,” said Ali Khaksar, president, TagMaster NA. “Our AVI technology greatly complements Pure Access Cloud, providing businesses with a comprehensive solution that enhances safety and convenience.”
