ASSA ABLOY Introduces Openings Studio SSA ABLOY has introduced the ASSA ABLOY Openings Studio, a plug-in to a common building information management (BIM) soſtware that lets users define secure openings, set standards across a future facility and integrate door security solutions during the design phase. This door and hardware coordination soſtware tool — to be used by security consultants, owners, architects, contractors and distributors — can supplement or replace written facility guideline stan- dards for enforcement and coordination with the architect and specification writer during the design process. By integrating with industry standard Revit 3D soſt- ware, Openings Studio allows users to review and track the design of openings throughout the planning process and avoid miscommunication. Openings Studio is available in sever- al versions that allow access for specific project stakeholders. The version for se- curity contractors and consultants, for example, prioritizes information specific to the nature of door security. It then in- tegrates with other versions, such as those for architects, distributors, specification writers and other contractors. More information about Openings Stu- dio can be found at www.assaabloydss. com/en/local/dss/openings-studio. IN MEMORIAM Starlin M.
