Combining innovation with eco-design
LiNEGUARD’s vision: to offer innovative, environmentally conscious readers. Deeply concerned by the ecological impact of bringing a product to market, choosing one material over another, or the energy consumption of a system, LiNEGUARD products are designed to be more environmentally friendly, sustainably.
Offering energy-efficient products
Aware that electronic products are energy-hungry, LiNEGUARD has chosen to offer high-performance readers without compromising the environment.
To this end, the LEDs in LiNEGUARD readers – in both matrix and light guide versions – operate with reduced light intensity, without aesthetic compromise. Although LEDs are capable of providing a higher level of brightness, the reduced light intensity means that they consume less energy without impairing the legibility of the messages they read.
The readers in the range also feature an ‘energy saving’ mode that puts the system to sleep when it is not being used. LiNEGUARD readers then wake up when the user approaches them, significantly reducing energy consumption when not in use, while ensuring an optimal experience.
Producing in France and promoting short distribution channels
As part of this 100% made in France production, LiNEGUARD is also committed to promoting local suppliers and partners. To go even further and rationalize purchasing and spending, LiNEGUARD meticulously studies each flow to enable :
– Reuse of packaging and cushioning products,
– Container rotation,
– Energy savings…
Committed to meeting environmental standards
Limiting the impact of our activities and LiNEGUARD products on the environment is a real priority. To this end, the development and production process for LiNEGUARD readers complies with the ISO 14001 standard, which defines the requirements of a management system through the adoption of environmentally strategic tools and approaches.
Right from the design stage…
Standardizing parts
Choosing to standardize parts among the various LiNEGUARD references considerably reduces the amount of tooling required. In this case, only 4 molds – considering the 33 parts that make up the readers – are needed to produce the LiNEGUARD references.
This approach also enables us to limit the amount of steel consumed by limiting the number of cavity holders, and to produce parts using dual injection and overmolding.
Choosing sustainable materials
Aware that the materials used have a real impact on the environment, the materials used in LiNEGUARD readers are chosen with care. LiNEGUARD favors easily recyclable rather than eco-designed materials that cannot always be recycled at the end of a product’s life.
LiNEGUARD materials are rigorously selected for their aesthetic and strength properties, so as to limit the number of parts, for example: ABSPC in case injection for its aesthetic and strength qualities, thus avoiding the use of lexan.
Exploiting new technologies
The design of the entire range of readers is geared towards reduced environmental impact. Thanks to software design and digital simulation tools, LiNEGUARD products are rigorously designed to :
- Achieve targeted strength performance without adding material by distributing volumes and surfaces,
- Optimise the weight of parts and volumes to reduce material consumption to just what is needed.
Throughout the product life cycle.
Maintaining a high level of reparability…
LiNEGUARD has made the strategic choice of offering access control readers with a high level of repairability, with an emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility. By facilitating the repair of its devices, LiNEGUARD reduces electronic waste and extends the life of its readers. LiNEGUARD’s objective: to minimize environmental impact and enable its customers to make long-term savings, while contributing to a more sustainable and ethical business model.
And ensure the recyclability of products placed on the market
LiNEGUARD access control readers are highly recyclable. By designing products that can be easily dismantled and recycled, LiNEGUARD contributes to the reduction of electronic waste and the conservation of natural resources. This initiative not only helps to reduce the ecological footprint of its products, but also aligns the brand with the growing expectations of an ever-changing market for concrete initiatives in environmental responsibility. By promoting recyclability, LiNEGUARD positions itself as an innovative and responsible leader in the security technology sector, while supporting a circular and sustainable economy.
