Smart Cities
The future of Infrastructure
The development of smart cities requires extraordinary engineering equipment and infrastructure to successfully support transformation and modernisation. Southco, a leading player in engineering hardware solutions, provides ready-made solutions for the growing needs of smart cities. To continuously improve and secure the urban environment, innovative technologies and hardware solutions are needed that adapt to new challenges and needs.
| In smart cities, the value of infrastructure is increasing and devices are getting closer to the end users. Many machines store data and contain next-generation technology, so physical security must be maximised. Southco offers a variety of engineered mechanical and electromechanical locks and latches to meet additional security requirements. Electronic access solutions (EAS) not only improve the security of devices, but also allow devices to be connected to software systems and other machines. Southco offers a variety of smart electronic locks that enable connectivity and data collection, as well as access to devices via electronic keys or a mobile app. The need for well-designed equipment adapted to industrial design increases hardware requirements in busy urban environments. Southco offers concealed locks and hinges that meet aesthetic design challenges and space-constrained environments without compromising hardware strength or performance. |

Smart infrastructure is based on positive user interactions. Engineered hinges and fasteners provide a safer and more ergonomic user experience. Southco's constant torque positioning technology provides a solution to the challenges of positioning panels and lids, allowing heavy panels to be easily positioned without shifting.

In high-traffic areas, the lifetime of devices can be maximised with robust hardware that has been tested for corrosion, penetration and seal integrity. Southco's line offers a range of concealed locks that remove the opening points of the device, while multi-point locking solutions offer high locking force and compression. We offer a range of weather tested durable product materials that can withstand changing temperature and weather conditions. As smart cities become more and more a part of our lives, the continued intertwining of innovation and security is a key focus. |
