TRANSCRIPT
Safe and secure remote access for assisted living• Locksmith set up Axxium to exploit an
opportunity in the ‘smart home’ market
• He lacked the digital electronics expertise to develop and take his idea to market
• Innovate UK bridged the gap through its Innovation Voucher programme
“That £5,000 and the chance to collaborate with the University of Hertfordshire, proved to be absolutely critical.” Andrew Taylor, managing director
Successes and the future• Axxium perfected a remote-controlled lock able to be
opened or closed via a mobile phone• The company has signed up a distributor for its smart locks
in Securefast plc • Axxium is developing sensors that will alert a householder
to an intruder drilling a door to break in
“Our smart locks been invented, developed and made using British expertise – thanks to funding from Innovate UK.” Andrew Taylor, managing director
