Scientists from the Federal University of Crimea have developed a “smart” electronic lock with their own software, not tied to foreign software or cloud services. The device will be in demand in hotels, hostels, educational institutions and offices, the creators say.
A representative of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science told RB.RU about the development of employees of the Crimean Federal University.
The electronic key replaces the pass and is coded to access certain premises for a certain time. The identification numbers of the locks fit on the key: the whole system is controlled by its own software.
The authors of the project noted that its development is not tied to foreign software and cloud services, it can be integrated into any access control and management system. The lock features a low power consumption of 30-50 microamps in sleep mode.
“This indicator is at the level of the best foreign developments at the moment, since most of these devices consume 70-100 microamps. And we continue to work on its improvement”, said Vladimir Ovcharenko, author of the project.
The development of our own motherboard made it possible to make the device twice cheaper than analogues. The creators plan to add key usage monitoring to the system using BLE technology.
