The SUNRISE project continues to strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructure across Europe.
Our RiBAC (Risk-Based Access Control) terminals, designed to manage access in response to pandemic threats, are now undergoing pilot testing in collaboration with our partners.
Pilot testing began in mid-July 2024. Our experts have participated in business trips, including to the University Medical Centre in Ljubljana, where we assisted with the setup of the terminals. Since the end of July, testing has also been underway at the Military University Hospital (ÚVN) in Prague, where we are monitoring the initial results and gathering valuable feedback.
Each installation requires specific adaptations of the terminals to meet the unique demands of the environment. For instance, in Ljubljana, the focus is on ensuring that doctors return used surgical gowns after leaving the operating room. Such customization is crucial to meet the specific needs of each setting.
The start of the pilot phase represents a key milestone in the project and is particularly important for verifying the functionality and reliability of the terminals in real-world environments. Through this testing, we are one step closer to deploying these innovative technologies across Europe, which will significantly enhance the safety and continuity of critical infrastructure operations.

SicherheitsExpo Munich 2026 offered a clear view of what customers and partners are looking for in modern access control: flexible installation, reliable smart locking technologies, secure data handling, and solutions that are easy to understand in practice.
Over two days in Munich, conversations with visitors from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland showed strong interest in smart locker systems, battery-powered locks, wireless access technologies, and the growing role of cybersecurity in everyday access management. The event also confirmed that live product demonstrations remain one of the most effective ways to explain how modern access solutions can solve real customer challenges.
SicherheitsExpo 2026 was an important opportunity for IMA to showcase what modern access control can look like when security, product quality, and innovation come together.
On July 1-2, IMA was represented at the show by our DACH sales representative, Christian Friedrich, together with Jaroslav Budka and Žaneta Dubnická.
