entusiasmo. Durante 23 días, todo girará
en torno al fútbol — no sólo en los dos países
anfi­triones, Austria y Suiza, sino también
para millones de aficionados en toda Europa.
Como el tema seguridad es fundamental en
este contexto, Rudolf Weber ha tenido un
encuentro para dialogar con Martin Jäggi,
director del área de seguridad en el EURO
2008. Para saber qué retos hay que afrontar

El deporte une — nosotros facilitamos a los
aficionados el acceso a ese espectáculo
que les apasiona. En los últimos años, Kaba
ha conseguido establecerse con éxito en el
mercado de equipamiento para estadios.
Tanto el Stade de Suisse Wankdorf, lugar de
celebración del EURO 2008, como los esta­
dios de Berlín, Frankfurt o Hanover confían
en los equipos Kaba para el control de acceso.
Pero Kaba está en primera línea del deporte
no solamente en Europa: cuando se encienda
la llama olímpica en Peking el próximo 8 de
agosto, 91.000 espectadores estarán presen­

estadio, todos habrán pasado por uno de los
138 torniquetes Kaba. Este reportaje se en­
cuentra en las páginas 8 y 9.

Sport brings people together — we provide the fans with access to their shared passion. In recent years, Kaba has successfully established
itself as a provider for sports stadiums. Thus, the Stade de Suisse
Wankdorf in Berne, one of the EURO 2008 venues, relies on Kaba ac­cess
systems, as do stadiums in Berlin, Frankfurt and Hanover. But Kaba’s
front line position at sporting events is not confined to Europe. When
the Olympic flame is lit on August 8 in the National Stadium in Beijing,
91,000 spectators will be present to witness it. They will have passed
through 138 tripod barriers from Kaba to gain access to the stadium.
Turn to pages 8 and 9 for more details.
Security is also a hot topic in the financial world. We invited the managers of the security funds at Credit Suisse and Pictet for a round- table discussion. Is this a key market for the future? Learn more in the Trends article on pages 23 and 24.

bol. Rudolf Weber conversa con el director
de seguridad del EURO 2008, Martin Jäggi.
Entre otros temas hablan sobre la cuestión
del nivel de seguridad necesario para un acon­
tecimiento deportivo de masas. La se­guridad
es un requisito indispensable, pero a la vez —
indica Jäggi — el objetivo es organizar una
fiesta, no construir una fortaleza.
Hay que conseguir que la seguridad se note
lo menos posible: la gente quiere sentirse se­
gura, pero no limitada. Esos son los requisitos
que cumplen también los equipos de segu­
ridad, añade Weber. Tienen que ofrecer la ma­
yor seguridad posible y a la vez pasar des­
apercibidos. Al preguntarle sobre el desafío

que es necesario estar muy atento y tener
flexibilidad. Actualmente el reto que hay que
superar es el cam­bio tecnológico de la mecá­

Cement and concrete for Africa’s growth
A little bit of space to relax in: Kaba technology is used in Yotel cabin hotels to keep transit passengers safe and secure while they rest and freshen up between flights.
AfriSam is a leading supplier of cement, concrete and building materials in southern Africa and employs
more than 2,500 staff. Swicon and Kaba helped the Holcim subsidiary optimize its business processes.
AfriSam specializes in the production
of cement, concrete, dry mortar and related chemical products. With a view to
simplifying its internal business processes
and making them more efficient — particularly in human resources, time recording
and access control — the company turned
to the leading SAP consultancy provider

Los cerrojos de cajas fuertes se conectan a la red | Kaba amplia su
gama de cerrojos para caja fuerte con un producto de gran eficacia:
gracias al nuevo cerrojo conectado a red Axessor, que incorpora eB@x,
será posible programar, gestionar y controlar de forma centralizada
cerrojos de cajas fuertes aplicados en lugares diferentes. A la misma
familia de productos pertenecen también el cerrojo de caja fuerte
Questor, que funciona con un código válido para un único uso y con
tiempo limitado, y el cerrojo stand alone SL 525.
A Card Collector can be useful to simplify the return of visitor passes: visitors place their day pass (including the protective
cover and clip) in the slot when they leave the building, and the
Card Collector then reads and checks the badge. The new weather­
proof model CRP-M02 with a rain cover and inclined user interface is just the right height to be used from a car window when
visitors leave the premises. For those leaving on foot, the stand
can also be integrated very easily into Kerberos tripod barriers.
The CRP-M03 provides a higher stand, also with a built-in
reader unit. This makes it easy for van and truck drivers to return
their day pass.

Cómo devolver las acreditaciones de forma segura | El Card Collector
facilita la devolución de acreditaciones de visitantes, recogiendo, le­
yendo y comprobando las tarjetas, que se introducen en la ranura junto
con el clip de sujeción y el protector plástico. El nuevo modelo CRP-M02
está provisto de una cubierta como protección a la intem­perie y tiene
la altura adecuada para ser utilizado desde el coche a la salida de
un aparcamiento, aunque también se puede integrar en un torniquete
Kerberos.
Solución pionera en gestión de acceso | Kaba se presenta una vez
más como pionero en el mercado: ahora ya es posible gestionar puertas
con protección únicamente mecánica mediante el sistema de control
de accesos Kaba exos 9300. El administrador tiene en todo momento
una visión conjunta sobre todas las autorizaciones en el edificio, inde­
pendientemente de que los accesos estén equipados con una cerradura
ele­ctrónica stand alone o con una puerta de protección mecánica.
