Case Studies

There are hundreds of sites using the Navigator range of Access Control products since 1995. Below are just a few of the many Navigator IP installations undertaken. Each end-user had different objectives, budgets, and specifications.


Davis's Boatyard, Poole, Dorset

Poole's longest established boatyard. Est. 1964

The customer has an original JWS Access Control system installed and running reliably since 1995 and wanted to upgrade. The site has Male and Female changing/shower rooms and controls / restricts access to cardholders using a Male and Female User Categories.

A quote from the installer Seatronix:

"Just wanted to say thank you for all your help getting this system up and running for Davis's boatyard... they are over the moon with how user-friendly the system is and it's going to make life a lot simpler for the future... The advantage of the Navigator IP Access Control Unit being a two-door controller means you only need one cabinet that contains the PCB and the powers supply for both locks... I wired the Navigator IP unit back to their router and in seconds they can control their toilets from any PC on their network ...even wirelessly!"
