November 14, 2025

Aperio® wireless locks, part of a suite of Digital Access Solutions from ASSA ABLOY, have transformed facilities management. They make secure entry more flexible, scalable, and convenient. Over a decade of Aperio innovations in wireless access have once again been recognized by an international awards jury: Aperio was recently named Most Innovative Security Product of the Year at the 2025 Business World Excellence Awards.

“This award is a testament to Aperio’s intelligent technology, innovative design and real-world impact raising the bar in wireless access,” says Vishal Maheshwari, Director and Head of Digital and Access Solutions MEIIA Region at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions. “A heartfelt thank-you to our partners, customers and teams whose dedication continues to fuel our journey of innovation. We remain focused on pushing boundaries, maintaining the highest standards and shaping the future of secure access.”

The prize was judged by an international panel of 14 business leaders and security experts. The award was presented at an event in New Delhi in October*.

Wireless digital access from a global leader

Aperio technology was designed for native integration with almost any access management or security system. Its open technology platform makes integration – online and/or offline – fast and intuitive. Connected control of Aperio devices is seamless within the existing system without any need for database set-up. All Aperio devices are controlled and operated entirely within this “master” system, simplifying operation and saving training costs. Extending an existing access solution to almost any opening by adding Aperio wireless devices is quick and easy.

As a result, Aperio has earned wide-ranging adoption and industry recognition for its smart functionality, including real-time management; rapid scalability, even in retrofit environments; contemporary aesthetics; and energy-efficiency performance. Compact and powered by standard batteries, Aperio devices are straightforward to install and require minimal maintenance. They are available for almost any application, including cylinders, handles, escutcheons, server rack locks, cabinet locks, padlocks, wall readers and more. All Aperio devices are compatible with a comprehensive range of RFID and mobile access credentials, including mobile wallets.

Both the technology and individual Aperio devices have won a string of awards in recent years, including India’s 2025 King’s Excellence Award. The Aperio H100, a door device with digital access technology inside a battery-powered handle, was winner at EUIPO’s DesignEuropa Awards and the German Design Council’s Iconic Award: Innovative Interior. Aperio devices have also been named Intersec Access Control Product of the Year, among many other prestigious international recognitions.
