An electronic CLIQ locking system for University Hospital Frankfurt

Challenge

Medical care provision, research, and education of a higher magnitude: With its 32 clinics and 20 research institutes, University Hospital Frankfurt is the largest hospital in Hesse. More than 4500 employees working in curative, care, laboratory, and technical areas treat more than 220,000 outpatient and roughly 50,000 in-patient per year. Extensive new construction, expansion, and renovation in multi-phase construction stages have been in progress since 2001. HOST GmbH Hospital Service and Technology and its staff of 150 employees are responsible for all technologies in the University Hospital. When it comes to security technology, HOST relies on the expertise of ASSA ABLOY. A CLIQ locking system has already provided several years of faultless operation.

Solution

Therefore, it was an obvious choice for HOST to install CLIQ in a recently completed new building. Thanks to the high level of modularity and simple operation, the decision was quickly made to install an eCLIQ locking system. It uses 1100 cylinders with an equal number of keys, and a specific web system. There are also five wall-mounted programmers, four of which are provided with antivandalism protection. Meanwhile, facility management experts at HOST are so impressed with the new eCLIQ system that various buildings will be equipped with eCLIQ in the final construction stage of the large hospital project.
