Critical infrastructure protection with automated people screening from dormakaba and Rohde & Schwarz dormakaba, a global leader in the access solutions market, and technology company Rohde & Schwarz are expanding their partnership from the airport business area to the critical infrastructure sector. Both partners have developed a new innovative solution for people screening that will be presented at the BAU 2025 trade fair in Munich. The automated access solution simplifies necessary security checks and increases capacity and efficiency. The global pilot projects to test the system have been expanded and are currently taking place in the USA, Singapore, and the Netherlands. Trial operations at Munich Airport are also expected to begin in January 2025.

The APS (Automated Personnel Screening) solution originally developed for airports by dormakaba and Rohde & Schwarz will also be offered for use in other critical infrastructures such as power plants, research laboratories, and data centers after a test phase. This automated personnel screening is a new approach worldwide based on mature technologies, products, and solutions within the dormakaba and Rohde & Schwarz portfolios, and it is set to revolutionize access protection.
Joint innovation for greater security
The system combines security interlocks with AI technology for position guidance from dormakaba and a security scanner for people screening from Rohde & Schwarz. The Rohde & Schwarz millimeter wave scanner not only detects metallic objects but also, for example, ceramic knives or suspicious liquids and can thus counter modern threats such as 3D-printed weapons without metal parts. Manual intervention at the exit of the dormakaba security gate is only required if objects are detected.
Till Reuter, CEO dormakaba, says: We are pleased to expand our technology partnership with Rohde & Schwarz to protect critical infrastructure. The automated access solution we have jointly developed meets the latest security standards and prioritizes efficiency and user-friendliness. With this pioneering innovation, we are creating new markets while also meeting the rapidly growing demand for people screening in the critical infrastructure sector.
Andreas Pauly, CTO Rohde & Schwarz, adds: We are pleased to be expanding our cooperation with dormakaba. Together with our partner, we offer an intelligent solution with state-of-the-art technology that addresses current threats and optimizes the protection of critical infrastructure worldwide. With decades of expertise in high-tech communication and security solutions, we are helping to provide innovative and reliable systems that meet the growing challenges of modern security standards.
