The Future of Access Control

June 5, 2020

At Swiftlane, we are constantly thinking about the future of access control. A huge shift in the industry is coming due to the need for touchless access systems, remote first management, and use of privacy-first face recognition-based access. Here’s how we view the future of access control.

The Information Age brought access control to the virtual world, including cloud-based and SaaS models, and adding sophisticated analytics.

Now comes Covid-19 to harken yet another shift, likely to touchless systems.
