applications offer interesting lessons for broader uses of access control. For example, dog paddocks are high- traffic facilities. That means the types of heavy-duty locks used will be more than suitable for other high-traffic applications like school playgrounds or water parks. Choosing a heavy-duty solution will reduce the frequency with which maintenance teams have to repair locks, and save on the costs of having to replace them. That’s especially important if your location is remote and hard to access for your teams. Operating in a field near the coast shows that there are offline access control solutions that will work in some of the most remote locations. And if it can work for a dog park in Devon, then it can work for festivals, on farmyards, and in nature reserves that need remote offline storage. Again, choosing the right solution ensures there’s no need to install power or internet in your location, and staff don’t need to repeatedly go on- site to change a code or provide people with access. On top of this, the simple yet effective booking and access system used at the dog paddock can be used in sports facilities, event spaces, and co-working
offices where people may want to book meeting rooms. The key is that the solution is automated and easy for people to use. As North Devon Hospice discovered, Codelocks API allows for the ideal integration with digital booking systems. Finally, when it comes to luxury spending, people expect to get what they pay for. Make something effortless and easy to use and you’ll attract customers and generate revenue. Having the right access control solution can help make those easy and effortless self-service experiences people are willing to pay for. The point is that these unique environments are a testing ground for tech. The Waggy Tails Meadow success story isn’t just about a smart charity funding stream. It’s about recognising that innovation can come from unexpected places, and that the right access control can make all the difference. As James Loud said of the finished project: “Its success, and the ease of the system, has got us thinking about what the future could hold.” What’s the future of access control at your site?
