Our company

The creation of SALTO meets a single objective, since its inception in 2001: to define a first-rate access control system that is simple to use and extremely efficient that allows users to control all their access needs and to secure all their doors without complex or expensive wiring. Such a solution had to be simple to install and set up, cost-effective, reliable, complete and scalable. This gave birth to our pioneering SVN platform - the first battery-powered electronic kickstand sets for access control.

From this revolutionary start, the small group of enthusiastic and highly experienced professionals who founded SALTO have continued to introduce a series of innovations that have had a huge impact on electronic security. Thanks to its on-line and real-time technology, our market-leading XS4 platform improves the use of virtually any building environment by securing almost any door and allowing control and monitoring of every user. SALTO hardware and software can be wirelessly networked to provide real-time intelligence and instant control, while allowing integration with existing systems to enhance management capability and the experience of the business. end user.

Having revolutionized access control around the world in sectors where security is fundamental - from airports and health centers to public education and hotels - we continue to bring more advanced and flexible electronic locking solutions. on the market.

Relentless Innovation

Market-driven development

Innovation is one of the fundamental principles underlying SALTO's continued success. Inspiration and ideas for new products come from a variety of sources, the main one obviously being SALTO customers. Market feedback is extremely important, especially for the gradual improvement of products. Another important source of contribution are new electronic and information technologies. These developments often make possible functions that were previously impossible, as was the case with SALTO's Wireless technology, or more recently with our mobile solutions and the XS4 2.0 range.

Our research and development team

As with all elements of SALTO, our team is at the center. In the case of research and development, the team of nearly 30 people is structured into three areas to better focus on the main areas of development: mechanics, electronics and software. SALTO has taken a leap into the access control field with its data in badge technology innovation and we know that to maintain a leadership position in this increasingly competitive landscape, SALTO must continue to invest in its resources - people, capabilities, equipment - to meet our research and development objectives.

Complementary skills for solid solutions

It is important to stress that the skills of the research and development team come from several disciplines. The department has many engineers, but also mathematicians and physicists with experience in mechanical lock design, electronic design, printed circuit design, software and software development, database knowledge, mobile application software and many other areas. The development process is iterative, so the team needs to be able to understand and analyze new challenges from many angles. This is the best way to ensure that SALTO grows stronger by relying on our capacity for innovation which forms the basis of our market-tested solutions.
