Electronic smart lock -- opening the door to the future lock industry
Smart lock market is ready to go
   Â
       When it comes to smart locks, the domestic public knows about it or uses it in some public places such as offices, schools, hotel rooms, banks, etc. It is still difficult to combine this high-tech lock with the lives of ordinary people. However, in countries such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, the use of electronic smart locks has become quite common, especially in the civilian market, which is much higher than domestic. According to statistics, in Europe and the United States, electronic locks account for 50% of the civilian lock market, Japan and South Korea smart locks account for more than 70% of the civilian lock market, especially in South Korea, the smart lock usage rate of its apartments is as high as 90%. According to the official data of Korea's well-known smart lock brand iRevo, the current electronic lock market in South Korea is 1 million sets, of which the retail (B2C) market share is 80%, and its civilian market has matured. 50% of users are replacing new electronic locks on the basis of existing electronic locks. At present, in China, electronic locks only account for less than 2% of the market for civilian locks. When people are used to swiping cards into office areas, and keyboard-type electronic locks such as banks and even biometric locks are used to it, we can be sure that domestic electronic smart locks will not only continue to develop in commercial terms, but also in civilian use. There will be a broader perspective.
       Throughout the domestic development of the electronic smart lock market in the past 10 years, the use of commercial use is particularly prominent. According to data provided by the ASSA ABLOY group , the leader in the global door-opening program , between 2000 and 2005, the number of smart locks installed was about 40,000 to 50,000, 90% of which was concentrated For high-end users, the usage rate of mid-end users is only 10%, and the choice of lock brands is also Korean brands, among which South Korea's iRevo is the most representative. After 2005, as more projects were put into use in China, the usage increased to 100,000, and the proportion of mid-end users increased to 30%. Since 2007, the demand for domestic commercial smart locks has further increased. At the same time, domestic brands have begun to independently develop smart lock technology, and their usage has doubled to 200,000 to 300,000. The use of domestic users is no longer concentrated only on high-end users. The usage of mid-range and low-end users has also increased significantly, accounting for 40% and 10% of the total, respectively. In recent years, relevant data shows that after 2010, electronic smart locks have formed an industry market, and the usage has rapidly increased to 400,000 to 500,000. At this time, mid-end users have formed major consumption power, accounting for 50% of the total, while the low end. The use also took shape to occupy 20%.
       With the continuous improvement of people's security awareness, the installation of a key and a lock obviously can not meet the needs of people. On the commercial side, office workers who come in and out of major office areas have become accustomed to swiping in and out of the card. In addition to the company's financial security guarantees, some financial institutions or units with higher requirements for security standards have increased the demand for smart locks. From simple unlocking to the current "authorization." At the same time, ordinary people have a higher pursuit of safety and comfort in the home environment. The market share of smart locks has a large room for improvement in civilian use, and it will surely develop rapidly.
       At present, electronic smart locks that are more common in China include password locks, card locks, and fingerprint locks. The keyboard type electronic code lock is the most widely used electronic smart lock from the current technical level and market recognition level, and is widely used in the banking and financial industry. The keyboard-type electronic lock is constantly innovating from the setting of the password or the input, and has developed two sets of "arbitrary setting password" technology and "automatic password change" technology, and also has "keyboard out-of-order display". And the input method of "multiple password setting". In terms of catering to ever-increasing security requirements, this smart lock is not only a mainstream player in the market, but is also often used as an auxiliary input device for other types of electronic anti-theft locks.
       Another type of electronic anti-theft lock that uses a "card" as a key is the most active smart lock product in the current office area. The card type electronic anti-theft lock can be divided into two types: a contact card and a contactless card. The biggest advantage of this kind of smart lock is that it has a large amount of stored information. Facing the needs of the company and the enterprise for personnel management, the card type electronic lock can also input personal information, truly realize the role of identity verification, and at the same time, the authorization setting for different personnel. It is more convenient for enterprise management. Different from the traditional key, after the card is lost, the system only needs to cancel the authorization, which is convenient and has no worries.
       The electronic anti-theft alarm lock is a kind of smart lock commonly used in commercial and civilian applications. Its biggest feature is the function of automatic alarm, with the advantages and features of integrated anti-theft lock and alarm. Once someone attempts to force intrusion, the system will automatically alarm and turn on the automatic blocking function. More high-end products also have the function of automatic dialing alarm.
       The biometric anti-theft lock is an electronic anti-theft lock that uses human biometric features (such as hands, eyes, sounds, etc.) as a key. This technology, which seems to have no intersection with daily life, is currently widely used in the financial industry, and fingerprint locks are considered to have good prospects in the civilian market. In the case of extremely high confidentiality requirements, the fingerprint lock also combines other electronic information as a password. For example, through the four opening functions of fingerprint, password, proximity card and electronic key, the security is effectively ensured, and the risk of technical theft is minimized.
       At present, the domestic lock manufacturers are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises, and the overall processing equipment is quite different from the international advanced level. As we all know, the development of technology has never been isolated. On the one hand, it depends on its own research and development of technology, and on the other hand, it is also derived from the input of international advanced technology. There is no clear technical standard in the field of electronic smart locks in the current Chinese market. Leading technologies introduced by international companies such as the ASSA ABLOY Group will greatly promote the development of domestic smart locks. On the other hand, the brands of the ASSA ABLOY Group also involve the application of smart locks in different fields, and have their own expertise and experience in different aspects, which will fully meet the needs of the domestic market, while expanding domestic The size of the market.
       Innovation is the driving force behind the market development of the brands of the ASSA ABLOY Group. iRevo also adheres to this product philosophy and believes that innovation should start with products. The company has always insisted on using technology innovation to achieve the same effect in the same kind of products, and at the same time design each product with the aesthetic standards of art, thereby fully realizing the customer value and making high-quality products worthy of consumers' purchase. Last year, iRevo and Yale, the group's 100-year-old lock brand, launched four products covering the B2B and B2C markets, and once again achieved new breakthroughs. Its original "new concept intelligent multi-directional anti-theft lock core" realizes five more functions of humanization through the clutch, 4-point lock tongue, mechanical key, switch sensing tongue and internal forced locking. At the same time, through the use of scanning fingerprint technology, security handles and virtual passwords and other innovative technologies, the security of electronic locks has been upgraded to a new level.
       In terms of product sales and user services, ASSA ABLOY Group has also been adhering to its leading strategy of capturing market share and technology. Taking the development of Korea Yibao smart locks in China as an example, in the initial stage of brand entry, Yibao introduced its best quality and most representative products to China, and took the lead in bringing the application of smart locks to the high-end market in early 2000. It has become the imitation of domestic brands for a long time. Today, in the face of the rapidly growing Chinese market, the brand of ASSA ABLOY pays more attention to the needs and experiences of users. In the regular meeting with the distributors, intuitively understand the market demand, and will promptly introduce the latest products and technologies of the brand abroad to domestic users. For the ASSA ABLOY Group, leading products and quality services can make users loyal to the brand, and also have important significance for other brands in the same group.
