    SMARTX PROTOCOL FROM TRADITION TO INNOVATION

    Our 100-year tradition of supplying our customers with high-quality, reliable security has also fuelled our drive for innovation. Security has to move with the times – and it is becoming more convenient thanks to smart solutions. A core element of the digitalisation of our security products is the proprietary ABUS SmartX technology. It was developed in 2017 in the research and development centre at our production site in Rehe in Rhineland-Palatinate. This is where innovative impulses "Made in Germany" are created that change the world of security.

    The secrets of SmartX
    SmartX is a protocol that secures the Bluetooth® connection between smartphones and smart products such as disc brake locks for motorbikes or also bike locks. We use the common secure cryptography methods.

    SmartX is a protocol that secures the Bluetooth® connection between smartphones and smart products such as disc brake locks for motorbikes or also bike locks. We use the common secure cryptography methods. "The secret of SmartX, however, is that each individual product has a unique code, a kind of DNA of its own: the so-called secret," explains Carsten Pietruck, Head of Digital Solutions and Services at the Wetter site. This secret is synchronised during the first connection between the app and the product. To ensure that SmartX remains secure, the technology is constantly being further developed and proactively subjected to independent pen tests and white-hacking tests.

    Carsten Pietruck explains why ABUS relies on Bluetooth®: "Because Bluetooth® was and remains the only connection standard for communication between mobile phones and other devices that works without restriction on all smartphones and therefore for everyone."

    Another advantage: our smart ABUS One products such as the WINTECTO One for locking and unlocking patio doors – another product "Made in Germany" – also work offline thanks to SmartX and additionally online with Wi-Fi bridge.

    SmartX opens the door to further innovations and can even be integrated into smart products from other manufacturers. In this way, ABUS technology from the Westerwald can make the convenient experience of smart products a secure one in the future too.

    DISKUS LOCK QUALITY FROM OWN HANDS

    No other product epitomises the rich history and decades of experience of ABUS as much as the Diskus round shackle padlock.

    Since its invention in 1949, every original Diskus has come from the hands of our experienced craftsmen in Wetter on the river Ruhr.* Using locally sourced raw materials, the finished product is created and checked in numerous steps, mainly by hand. In order to be able to guarantee the high quality of the locks at all times, the machines and tools used for production are also manufactured in-house.

    Knowledge makes the difference
    Over the years, our Diskus team has accumulated a great deal of expertise.

    A lot has changed in the locks in over 75 years and the technology has also continuously improved. But two aspects have always remained the same: the characteristic round shape, which means that the shackle offers hardly any attack surface, and the consistent quality of workmanship, which is immediately noticeable to everyone when handling the Diskus round shackle padlock.

    "Our welding processes and results are unrivalled in the world. The quality that we achieve with the Diskus can be experienced by customers through the smooth closing of the shackle, for example – especially in comparison to competitor models," emphasises Benjamin Knoche.
