Once again this year, Bologna is hosting the most important Italian event dedicated to the world of security, a reference point for hundreds of locksmiths from all over the country. ERSI 2025 (Esperti Riferme Serrature Italia) will take place on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 April at the Savoia Hotel Regency, which has been the location of this important conference for years.
Every year, ERSI represents a unique opportunity for security specialists to meet, share and learn, and an important showcase where suppliers exhibit their latest innovations and discuss the new challenges that the market requires.
The expo area will allow visitors to touch the products and talk to the manufacturers, while the convention area will host conferences, seminars and workshops, as well as the annual cylinder and padlock opening competition.
In this edition, our team will attend in a double capacity, that of exhibitor and speaker.
Our security experts will delve into a topic that is gaining increasing importance in the industry: keyless access. On Friday, 4 April, at 3:00 pm, in the seminar ‘Mottura for 100% keyless access’, we will discuss the potential of our bTECHNOLOGY ecosystem with a focus on keyless access management. In addition to theoretical information, participants will see a practical demonstration of how to control access to their homes directly from a smartphone, via the bMOTTURA app, in a simple and secure way.
The bTECHNOLOGY ecosystem will also be on display at our stand, where visitors will be able to see the bNOVA and bBLOCK locks, the bMOTO motorised knob along with their accessories (such as the bDIGIT numeric keypad, the bTRACK fingerprint reader, the bKEY Bluetooth remote control, the bOPEN smart relay and the new bBRIDGE for remote connection).
In addition to the bTECHNOLOGY products, the CHAMPIONS® high-security Euro-profile cylinders will also be on display, designed with anti-picking, anti-bumping, anti-snap and anti-tracing systems to ensure maximum security against break-in attempts.
Also completing the range are the Magnetic Defenders®, the innovation of our iconic armoured protector that increases the level of protection of the cylinder and lock not only against major mechanical break-in attempts, but also against acid attacks. This protection is achieved thanks to a special steel cover plate, which completely seals the keyway and can only be rotated using a special duplication-protected magnetic key.
We look forward to seeing you at ERSI on booth 25.
The range of Champions® security cylinders includes different cylinder models, each of which is characterized by particular technical qualities, different types of allowed key duplication and the numerous new applicable functions.
Each set of keys, sealed at the origin, is accompanied by the personal ownership card to be showed while requesting key duplicates.
The cylinders are divided into Silver Series (C10 and PRO/Modular), Gold Series (C28PLUS, C39 and CP6) and Platinum Series (C55 and C3D). All models have common safety features; furthermore, each cylinder is characterized by different mechanical systems, increasing the level of security, or in combination with each other to increase the level of complexity of the cylinder itself.
All Champions® Europrofile security cylinders are certified according to the UNI EN 1303 standard at the highest achievable levels, including resistance to Bumping, Picking and Tracing manipulation techniques.
Magnetic Defenders® add an additional level of protection for your security door lock compared to traditional mechanical models. A special cover completely seals the keyway and can only be rotated to show the keyhole using a special magnetic key. Only once the cover is fully rotated can the key be inserted to open the door.
The magnetic Defender® is the best form of protection against acid attacks, as well as against break-in attempts such as the use of a drill, pick, percussion blows and extraction of the cylinder rotor.
