Siemens releases Apple Wallet integrated mobile access

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has announced the launch of a mobile access offering for Building X Security Manager, based on Apple Wallet and a collaboration with Swiss leader in credential management and access security solutions, LEGIC. By integrating LEGIC Connect, a software service for the creation and distribution of mobile credentials to smart devices, into the Siemens application, users can now enjoy a seamless connection to Apple Wallet.

The new solution enables its users to conveniently and securely use their Apple devices to enter buildings faster by tapping a compatible card reader.

Security Manager is a cloud-based application to manage access control in buildings. The new solution is an extension of the existing Siemens Building X Security Manager app and enables its users to conveniently and securely use their Apple devices – such as iPhone or Apple Watch – to enter buildings faster by tapping a compatible card reader.

Apple Wallet is an app that securely and conveniently organises credit, debit and identity cards, keys, and more – all in one place. Once badges are activated, users can hold their device near a door’s Near Field Communication (NFC)-enabled lock to seamlessly access secured areas. With Express Mode, they don’t need to unlock their device to use their badge in Apple Wallet. If an iPhone needs to be charged, people can still access buildings for up to five hours with Power Reserve.

For building owners and security managers, Apple Wallet provides a trusted and secure platform for mobile credentials as stored directly on the devices – including built-in privacy and security features of iPhones and Apple Watches. At the same time, it increases the efficiency and sustainability of building access by eliminating the need to open an app or present a traditional, plastic access key.

“By collaborating with Apple and LEGIC, our Building X customers can enhance their experience when entering buildings. They will benefit from a streamlined access method that feels as natural as using their device for payments, leveraging a familiar and intuitive interface,” said Rahul Chillar, Executive Vice President, Software, Siemens Smart Infrastructure Buildings. “We will also be using it for our own Siemens’ buildings.”

Building X is a digital building platform that supports customers to digitalise, manage, and optimize their building operations. This leads to an enhanced user experience, increased performance, and improved sustainability. It is part of Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform that enables customers to accelerate their digital transformation easier, faster and at scale.

Together with LEGIC, Siemens will showcase the Building X Security Manager integration into Apple Wallet at Intersec 2025 fair in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The event that maps the future of safety, security and fire protection takes place from 14 to 16 January, 2025.
