En solamente diez años el consorcio ha pasado de suministrador regional de sistemas mecánicos de cierre a proveedor líder a nivel mundial de soluciones para seguridad. En este tiempo, el volumen de ventas ha crecido de 210 millones de CHF a millones de CHF. Nuestros clientes se benefician de este desarrollo. Por ejemplo Correos de Suiza. En el marco de una licitación pública internacional de la WTO, esta empresa buscaba soluciones de futuro para el control de acceso y horario en once nuevos centros PostMail integrados en red en toda Suiza y con gestión centralizada. Kaba se llevó la adjudicación del proyecto. En el reportaje de las páginas 10 a 13 encontrará información sobre las soluciones integradas y las opiniones de los responsables del proyecto por parte de Correos sobre la cooperación con Kaba. Todavía existen las historias con éxito. Kaba y Correos de Suiza es una de ellas. Los requisitos del cliente tienen para nosotros prioridad: esto se refleja de forma directa en nuestros nuevos productos y tecnologías. Por ejemplo, nuestros clientes pedían un control de acceso que fuera a la vez seguro, flexible y económico. La respuesta es CardLink. Si quiere saber cómo funciona esta innovadora solución y cómo se está estableciendo en el mercado, lea el artículo en las páginas 24 a 26. La cooperación con nuestros clientes es lo que nos lleva a tener éxito. Kaba is a leader in technology. In the space of just ten years, the Group has successfully grown from being a regional producer of mechanical locking systems to one of the world s leading providers of integrated security solutions. Over this period, net sales have expanded from CHF 210 million to CHF 1,248 million. Our customers are beneficiaries of this growth. One example is Swiss Post. Under WTO commissioning rules, it sought forward-looking access control and time recording solutions networked across Switzerland and centrally managed for its eleven new PostMail centers. Kaba won the contract. You may read about the solutions provided and about how the project managers at Swiss Post have found the experience of working with Kaba on pages 10 to 13. Without giving too much away: there are still success stories to be told. Kaba and Swiss Post is one of them. Customer needs are our top priority: our new products and technologies often directly reflect these needs. For instance, our customers wanted access control which was as secure, as flexible and also as financially efficient as possible. CardLink is our response to this. Find out how this innovative solution works and how it has been received on the market in the Trends report on pages 24 to 26. It is our partnership with customers which makes us successful. I wish you an enjoyable read. Jean-Luc Ferrazzini Portada: Las terrazas doradas de Varsovia En Febrero de 2007 se inauguró con una gran ceremonia el Zlote Tarasy, las terrazas doradas de Varsovia.

3 FORUM FORUM Negotiations can only be successful if there is also a possibility of failure What is the significance of security in the context of an international aid organization? Rudolf Weber meets Jakob Kellenberger, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). They talk about risk management, motivation and the question of what makes a good CEO. JK Yes, including in the field. The basic principles are determined at headquarters, but the specific security requirements are drawn up locally in the individual countries. RW Kaba, too, has a decentralized management structure. We define the relevant framework at Group headquarters and set the strategy. Specific implementation is then adapted to local needs. JK We are obviously different from Kaba in terms of risk potential. We differ from other institutions in that we accept no protection from the police or military forces, so that our independence and neutrality cannot be called into question. Our work takes place on the basis that our presence and our activities are accepted by all parties involved in the conflict. In Darfur, for instance, this means that we Rudolf Weber, CEO of the Kaba Group, meets Jakob Kellenberger, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). maintain a dialog with all parties with the government, the Arab militiamen and all rebel groups, irrespective of whether they have signed the peace agreement or not. Because we are seen to be neutral Jakob Kellenberger (JK) The biggest the situation on the ground. Many ICRC and independent, we generally enjoy a JK Well, that is relatively straightforward A CEO needs to have a very human touch. challenge for me is to reach people in war zones in order to help and try to protect them. This, of course, involves the issue of security, as we are also responsible for the safety of our staff. This responsibility must be balanced in a sensible way against our wish to reach people affected by war all over the world. Rudolf Weber (RW) The risks must often staff work under precarious security circumstances. It is therefore important to me to gain my own impression of these circumstances. RW In this respect, there are some parallels with our business even though the security risks are obviously not the same. If problems come up at a subsidiary, I also like to go and get a first-hand impression high level of acceptance. But that doesn t protect us from criminal attacks. RW Kaba can operate entirely independently of political conflicts of interest. As a provider of security solutions including for government institutions, absolute political neutrality is one of the prerequisites for business success. And so it shall remain in the future. Something for an organization like the ICRC and I like it that way. Our aim is to work for life and human dignity in the places where these values are most endangered. This work pays off. There are no motivation problems. Obviously, we continually come up against new suffering. But I am a person who believes in action. I have a task and I fulfill it as well as I can.

4 FORUM FORUM Kaba is seen as one of Switzerland s favorite employers. RW A powerful motivation, including for your staff, I imagine? JK Yes, we don t really have to do motivation work we get about 7,000 applications a year for around 250 vacancies, which speaks for itself. The humanitarian drive is obviously the main, but not the only thing. There is nothing mysterious about aid organizations. We have 230 representative offices in over 80 countries around the world, our logistics operation has over 3,000 vehicles in many respects we function in a similar way to a company. The ICRC is also an attractive employer and offers good salaries and employment conditions. How does it work at Kaba? RW Kaba is seen as one of Switzerland s favorite employers, and we have very low staff turnover. I firmly believe that if a company treats its staff well they will stay. We hardly have any large restructurings or relocations, and our staff have interesting jobs. Mechanical equipment, electronics, software, these are all exciting areas with tangible products. People enjoy these things. Also, the Kaba Group is independent. We find there is a great deal of trust in the company and in the management which has kept the Group on a successful and stable path for decades. Staff are able to identify a lot with the company. Even in a commercial operation, emotional factors like these decide the outcome at the end of the day. The ICRC was set up around 150 years ago at the initiative of a Swiss citizen, Henry Dunant. Do these Swiss roots still influence the organization? JK Well, tradition naturally has a certain significance. The ICRC was founded in Geneva and the headquarters are still there. At the same time, the organization has become very international since then. More than half of about 1,500 staff who work internationally are not Swiss. Fifteen years ago it was different. However, the organization is still governed exclusively by Swiss citizens. RW We used to have a clause in our governance rules requiring that an overwhelming majority of the Board of Directors had a Swiss passport; but this clause was removed some years ago. We are by now a globally active company, but, in my opinion, Kaba is still very Swiss at its core. Security and Switzerland go together very well. Products developed by Swiss engineers have an international reputation for outstanding quality. Another thing I would like to talk about: before you were elected President of the ICRC in 2000, you worked in the diplomatic service for over 25 years. What makes a good diplomat? JK A good diplomat is someone who is able to consider the perspectives of others and at the same time not to lose sight of the interests he has to represent. Negotiations can only be successful if there is also a possibility of failure this, in my opinion, is another important principle. If someone has too much of a need for harmony and is too much in love with one s own results and cannot countenance failure, then it won t work. What makes a good CEO? RW A CEO is mainly judged on figures. If the share price and the financial figures are rising, then the shareholders are happy and the CEO is praised, although this is no guarantee that he is actually a good CEO. Further, a CEO also needs to be something of a diplomat. He needs to have a very human touch and has to take on board the suggestions coming from around him, whether from staff or customers, and to be able to evaluate this input. I think, the exciting thing about being a CEO is leading people and achieving something together, thereby pursuing a vision, a shared goal. It would be true to say that we have made some progress in this way since I have been in charge. Las negociaciones sólo pueden tener éxito cuando existe la posibilidad de que fracasen Rudolf Weber, CEO del Grupo Kaba, en diálogo con el Dr. Jakob Kellenberger, Presidente del Comité Internacional de la Cruz Roja (CICR). Kellenberger nació en 1944 en Heiden, Suiza, y es Presidente del Comité desde el año Fundada en 1863, el CICR es la asociación de ayuda humanitaria internacional más antigua del mundo. El coloquio se centra, entre otras cuestiones, en el significado del término seguridad en el ámbito de una organización internacional de ayuda humanitaria y en las cualidades que precisa un buen CEO. Rudolf Weber indica: Todo CEO debe ser en cierta manera un diplomático. Precisa una gran porción de humanidad. Tiene que ser capaz de recopilar y valorar las sugerencias de su entorno, sean de empleados o de clientes. Lo más interesante en la función de un CEO es llevar a la gente a conseguir algo conjuntamente, a seguir un objetivo, una visión común. Se puede decir que, en este sentido, ya hemos avanzado desde que yo dirijo esta empresa, afirma Weber. Dr. Jakob Kellenberger was born in 1944 in Heiden, Switzerland. He joined Switzerland s diplomatic service in 1974 and held several posts within Europe. From 1992 to 1999, he was permanent Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs. As chief negotiator he led Switzerland s negotiations with the European Union for the Bilateral Agreements I. Since 2000, he has been President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Jakob Kellenberger is married and has two daughters. The International Committee of the Red Cross, founded in 1863, is the oldest internationally active humanitarian organization. Its worldwide activities include mediating between warring parties, assisting victims of conflict and protecting the civilian population. The Committee employs approximately 12,000 staff, of whom around 800 work at the Geneva headquarters. 6 KABA Security Update no.36 2/2007 Security Update no.36 2/2007 KABA 7

5 FORUM FORUM Raring to go in India In April 2007, Kaba signed a joint venture agreement with Mars Industries, a company associated with the Indian Minda Group.

7 REPORTAGE REPORTAGE Kaba has exceeded our expectations 2005 saw the start of close collaboration between Kaba and Swiss Post as part of a major project called REMA (Re-Engineering MAilprocessing). What has been the experience of Swiss Post in working with Kaba on the individual projects? Have its expectations been fulfilled? A conversation with Philippe Sibold and Tobias Jakob, REMA project managers at Swiss Post. TJ For us, at moments like that, it was solutions we wanted, not just some sort of compromise. A sticking plaster approach is of no use to us. This is one of Kaba s strengths: we benefit from the interaction between the different areas of business involved in the Total Access approach and from the strong development teams on which they depend. What do the new solutions offer? TJ For one thing, we have brought movement to the market, as we looked into various offers. And we now have modern, efficient solutions for access control and time management. Philippe Sibold, Head of Security Projects, and Tobias Jakob, Head of the Real Estate Committee at Swiss Post, in conversation with Marcel Schär, Key Account Manager Kaba. PS In my opinion, the approach which Kaba takes with Total Access is the right way to do things. Only an overall system which manages master data centrally and covers all the various needs will do. What requirements do you place on calling for modernization of the systems. We experience Kaba as a very innovative This gives us a maximum level of security your partners?

Since the REMA project began, we have been working very closely with Kaba I am happy to say that we are very satisfied. What factors were important in your decision to entrust this major project to Kaba? Tobias Jakob (TJ) The best offer won the day! Kaba fulfilled the WTO commissioning rules and came with a solid track record. The collaboration has gone very well, not just in terms of REMA, but also in extending the PostFinance systems. PS We had satisfactory applications before. But, as the Swiss Post business has developed, new needs have arisen, sound quality and technology to meet today s requirements. Have your expectations been met? TJ Well, in some cases they have even been exceeded. We very much like the Total Access approach. We knew very quickly that everyone was pulling in the same direction. Obviously, that makes working together a whole lot easier. Especially in terms of special requirements Kaba has always found solutions tailored to our needs. PS When new needs arising from our operations are brought to us, we contact our Key Account Manager, Marcel Schär, who then helps us in finding a solution. TJ We are making some big demands on Kaba, that is certain. Here and there some sleep has been lost. Indeed, we started with a complex application. The process of modernizing the systems has gone smoothly and the challenges involved have been tackled constructively. PS Kaba has also kept in step with the rapid pace we sometimes set, and has delivered even special solutions on schedule. Have problems arisen? PS Hardly at all. And if they have, Kaba has always responded with energy and expertise. We feel we are in good hands. Correos de Suiza confía en Kaba La Compañía de Correos de Suiza es pionera en cuanto a soluciones en materia de seguridad. En el marco del macroproyecto REMA (Re-Engineering MAilprocessing) Kaba fue elegida como empresa cooperadora para el área de seguridad: en la fase final Correos dispondrá de un sistema centralizado de control de acceso y horario en casi todas sus sucursales. El proyecto comenzó hace dos años con el control de acceso y horario, después se amplió con biometría y mecatrónica y finalmente, en un proyecto piloto de PostLogistics, con CardLink. Unos empleados, de los aproximadamente que tiene Correos, utilizan hoy ya la tarjeta de personal ID-Post con chip Legic, mientras que unos 500 lectores gestionan el acceso y 230 terminales registran el horario de presencia de los empleados. Correos de Suiza y Kaba una historia con éxito Controlled access: around 500 entrances including sliding and automatic doors, barriers and gates for individual entry are made secure with integrated Kaba products. They are managed using the Kaba exos 9300 access control system. 2 Remote-controlled security: Kaba integrated a special solution for the forklift trucks in the new mail centers. The remote reading booster enables the gates to be opened from a distance of ten meters while driving. 12 KABA Security Update no.36 2/2007 Security Update no.36 2/2007 KABA 13

8 CASE STUDIES CASE STUDIES The golden terraces of Warsaw In February 2007, the Zlote Tarasy, or golden terraces, were opened in Warsaw with much ado: a huge multifunctional complex, one of the biggest in Europe. The new center will provide the inhabitants of Poland s capital with year-round shopping and entertainment facilities. Gateway to Down Under Security has always been an important concern in aviation. Sydney Airport, named Best Airport 2004 Australia/Pacific, has relied on Kaba solutions for years now. Sydney Airport is Australia s premier international gateway and one of the country s most important transport facilities. It notched up record passenger numbers of 28.3 million last year and over 286,000 aircraft movements. No wonder that the airport management is currently developing new plans for upgrading the international and domestic terminals. The objective is to make additional monitoring functions such as time and audit controls. Because all Kaba products are interoperable this is a basic pillar of the Total Access strategy the new installations are integrated very easily into the existing master key system and will ensure the very best in security where it is most required. info@kaba.com.au La entrada a las antípodas El aeropuerto de Sydney confía desde hace años en soluciones de seguridad Kaba.

11 CASE STUDIES CASE STUDIES SOHO live and work the modern way Situated along the Singapore River in the center of the city is a highly impressive new building complex: Central. An extremely popular destination, it is the first development in Singapore to combine living, working, lifestyle and easy transport connections in a seamless fashion. Kaba is responsible for designing and implementing the access control system within Central. Green access control Our climate is changing, experts and laity by now agree on that. With this, there is an ever more pressing call to do something to counter the warming of the Earth s atmosphere. The Orchard Garden Hotel in San Francisco is showing the way: it is committed to environmental protection and sustainability including in its choice of access control system. Central in Singapore reflects the spirit of our age. The mixed development includes one 25 story office tower as well as two towers of 227 SOHO units. These Small Office Home Office units flexibly serve the dual function of office and residential living; moreover, they may also be used exclusively for either purpose without the need for additional approval from the authorities. The SOHO concept is thus perfectly attuned to modern needs. Beneath the three office towers, Central boasts around 20,000 m 2 of retail and control was a particular challenge. Kaba Com-ID (Common Identification) was the ideal solution: a single medium a badge provides different users with controlled access to the various zones of the complex and guarantees security. A Kaba exos 9300 system controls access to the public areas. It provides centralized management of 14 elevators, 230 access points, 2,500 access media, all emergency exits as well as visitor access. The office space and SOHO units are equipped with Kaba elolegic digital Vivir y trabajar acorde con los tiempos Junto al Singapore River, en pleno centro de la ciudad, hay un conjunto de edificios muy característico: el Central es el primer edificio de Singapur que combina perfectamente zonas de vivienda, de trabajo, de ocio y transporte público, por lo que está teniendo un gran éxito.

12 CASE STUDIES CASE STUDIES Successful cooperation With 400 hypermarkets and 700 supermarkets, Auchan Group is the world s twelfth largest retail distribution group, serving the needs of around 1.3 billion customers every year in 12 countries. Recently, all retail sites in France have been equipped with a centralized solution for access control and time management. Secure in extreme conditions ATCO Structures, a world leader in pre-manufactured modular building systems, will be counting on Kaba Lodging Systems to provide locks for its new worker dormitory rooms for the Shell Oil Company in northern Canada. Phase Two of this project started in spring Fort McMurray in north-east Alberta is one of Canada s central oil-producing regions. The city has seen a huge boom in recent years, driven by oil sand exploitation. In spring 2007, the oil group Shell commissioned ATCO Structures to build new dormitory rooms for its workers at its Fort McMurray site. Kaba Lodging Systems is ATCO s partner on the security side. A total of 1,660 rooms will be produced in Calgary from pre-manufactured modular units and then be transported by road 800 km north to Fort McMurray. In this last phase of Shell s project, Kaba will equip these dormitory rooms with electronic locks. The decision to install the Generation E-760 electronic lock is a testament to its durability and reliability, even in extreme climatic conditions. Offering the best in magnetic strip stand-alone lock technology, it provides an integrated audit trial, tracking up to 200 transactions. In the event of an emergency, such as a power failure, the locks offer override options via mechanical keys. All 1,660 of the Shell dormitory locks will be managed centrally using MS Windows-based ATLAS (Advanced Technology Lodging Access System). Thus, this system integrates easily into an existing IT infrastructure and provides compatibility with other Webbased systems. info@kim.kaba.com Seguridad en condiciones extremas La empresa ATCO Structures, líder mundial en sistemas modulares prefabricados de construcción, confía en Kaba Lodging Systems a la hora de equipar con cerraduras los nuevos alojamientos de un campamento de la Shell Oil Company en el norte de Canadá.

13 TRENDS TRENDS Online and stand-alone systems cleverly combined Modern access systems not only provide top security but also regulate the flow of people at a company. CardLink represents a new chapter in the history of access control, opening up undreamed-of possibilities. This innovative concept combines electronic stand-alone locks with online systems without the need for wiring. CardLink means efficiency and security for the company convenience, flexibility and ease of use for the staff. In the business world, online access systems have become standard by now. But some companies do not want the expense of across-the-board installation. This is where CardLink comes in: it integrates the various electronically secured doors into a central authorization management system irrespective of whether they are wired (online) or not (standalone). For internal door locks, with CardLink individual authorization is stored on a badge and is read and verified at the access point. As much security as required Online systems are still the measure of all things when it comes to heavily used entrances and external security in 24- hour operations. For areas which require detailed monitoring and analysis at all times for example, the main entrance and doors to elevators and different floors an online system offers top-level convenience and security. But if the main requirement is flexibility and selective authorization for internal access, then digital stand-alone components represent an ideal solution. CardLink combines the advantages of both solutions. Combinación inteligente de los sistemas online y stand-alone Los sistemas modernos de acceso no sólo ofrecen el más alto nivel de seguridad, sino que además regulan el flujo de personas en la empresa. Con CardLink empieza un nuevo capítulo en la historia del control de acceso. CardLink combina los entornos online y stand-alone del control de acceso: no importa si las puertas del edificio se encuentran online (verde = conectadas por cables) o stand-alone (naranja = no conectadas por cables), CardLink integra a través del badge todos los componentes en un sistema central de gestión de autorizaciones. El resultado es mayor economía y seguridad para la empresa, y a la vez confort y facilidad de uso para los empleados. Integrated authorization management: CardLink combines stand-alone and online access control. Irrespective of whether the doors in a building are online (green = wired) or stand-alone (orange = not wired), they can all be opened using a single badge and may be managed centrally. 24 KABA Security Update no.36 2/2007 Security Update no.36 2/2007 KABA 25

Our customers asked for access control which is as flexible as possible. Thus, the main priorities in developing CardLink were installation and operating costs, convenience and straightforward management of access rights. What reactions do you get? Enthusiastic ones! Our customers particularly like the variety of stand-alone components on offer. And, obviously, the ease of installation. Since all access media are managed centrally, if a badge is lost or left at home it can be blocked very simply and a replacement issued. The system administrator also has a complete overview of who has access to what and when at all times. So this is a real gain in security. How do you see the prospects for CardLink? We see great potential for the future and not only for CardLink, but for Total Access as a whole. CardLink can be scaled up endlessly and its design is very open so it can be adapted to a company s future requirements an advantage which is very important to customers who already have a Kaba solution in place. The key concepts here are migration and protecting your investment. We offer our customers complete solutions from a single source, using the latest technology. Total Access in fact. systems to electronic ones, this solution offers a particularly inexpensive and efficient way of doing so. Even if the site comprises several buildings, it is no longer necessary to wire them all up for integration into the electronic system. The information as to whether someone has access to a particular room is stored on their badge in contrast to an online solution, in which authorization is programmed into the system. Cleverly combined With CardLink, online and standalone components can be combined into an overall access system and managed using the same Kaba exos user interface. The personal data only need to be entered once on the central system. Irrespective of the type of access, adjustments such as staff joining and leaving or changes to access authorization can be carried out efficiently by the system administrator. And how is a badge invalidated? The system is as simple as can be: authorization is stored on the staff badge with a time limit and expires automatically if it is not regularly renewed. For example, the badge might be validated in the morn- 1 Efficient management: access authorization can be issued and managed centrally.

With its Kentaur bicycle interlock, Kaba has developed a solution which makes life convenient and straightforward for staff who cycle to work. The installation consists of an interlock chamber with two motorized swing gates which operate consecutively. Induction loops on either side of the interlock are used to detect the presence of a bicycle and thus allow the gates to open and close. The centerpiece of the installation is a weighing system: this monitors the chamber and only allows bicycles to pass which match a programmed standard weight. The Kentaur bicycle interlock may easily be combined with any Kaba turnstile. info@kgb.kaba.com Acceso controlado de bicicletas El equipo Kentaur bicycle interlock de Kaba ofrece una nueva solución para introducir bicicletas en recintos de empresas con altos requisitos de seguridad.

The locking plan for an apartment block is relatively easy to work out, at least for a permutation professional, says Anita Helbling, Team Leader Permutation. But when it comes to a major site with several thousand locks, somewhere like Zurich Airport, then people s heads soon start to hurt. It is a bit like a Sudoku master class. They will puzzle over it for days, juggling numbers and different combinations, until it is finally worked out. The permutation codes are then sent securely to the production equipment and the keys and cylinders are manufactured in-house. The combinations used remain permanently blocked for other installations. In theory, there are around 18 quadrillion possible permutations for the system Kaba star. In order to ensure optimum security, we have set ourselves very high standards, deliberately using only some of the possibilities, Viktor Niffenegger continues. It is stipulated, for instance, that a Kaba star cylinder must have a minimum of tumbler pins. The depth of the different depressions arranged on the key is also precisely defined. In addition, baffles are built into the cylinder. All these components make Kaba cylinders what they are: a nightmare for burglars. What is permutation? Permutation refers to the calculation of different possible combinations as to how the small depressions on the surface of a key are to be arranged. The two sides of the key give a left-hand and right-hand hole pattern. There are also additional, inclined holes and ones on the edge of the key, all in variable depths and arrangements. In theory, around 18 quadrillion permutations are possible in the Kaba star system. However, the high standards which Kaba sets limit the range of possibilities for the sake of greater security. Permutación: Sudoku para campeones En un edificio de viviendas, cada llave tiene que servir para abrir la puerta de entrada, el sótano y el garaje, pero a la vez sólo deberá servir para abrir un piso y su correspondiente buzón. Estos requisitos se reflejan en un plan de cerraduras. A partir de este plan se hace el cálculo de la permutación, es decir la ubicación exacta de las perforaciones en las llaves. Incluso hoy en día no hay ordenador que pueda realizar por completo los cálculos necesarios el ordenador realiza simplemente funciones de apoyo y el control posterior.
