The Internet of Things (IoT) industry is one of the fastest-growing tech sectors, and it has now entered the world of security and access control. Today, wireless networks can integrate every automatic door system across an entire facility into a central platform, collecting valuable insights on usage and occupant behaviour. These new capabilities provide a valuable opportunity for architects, developers and property owners to deliver first-class facilities that meet the evolving needs of modern tenants.

Shaping the Future of Smart Door Technology: Understanding the Benefits of IoT Adoption examines how IoT is shaping smart door and access control technology, and the various ways these developments can benefit the management of commercial buildings. First, we look at recent IoT trends in Australia and abroad, particularly its accelerated adoption among organisations and local governments. We then consider how IoT is creating a new generation of access control and monitoring solutions, including smart doors and locks, before looking at the benefits of IoT-enabled smart door technology for organisations, users, facility managers, security administrators and tenants.
