Weโre all keenly aware of the importance of food safety. The risk of contamination and allergens lingers as a quiet but constant concern. So, the trust we place in our food is a fragile one, sustained by unseen assurances that it is safe to consume. At the forefront of ensuring these standards is BIOLAN Microbiosensors, an innovative company located near Bilbao in Spainโs Basque Country.
BIOLAN has made its name by developing sophisticated biosensors that guarantee food quality and safety. Their work, recognised with Spainโs National Innovation and Design Award, is a testament to their commitment to tackling some of the most pressing challenges in food production and handling. Yet, safeguarding such technological ingenuity demands more than expertise in the lab. It requires a meticulous approach to protecting the intellectual property and sensitive processes that make this work possible.
To address these challenges, BIOLAN worked with DOM MCM, a leader in access control solutions, to secure their facilities and operations. The DOM Tapkey system they agreed upon provides a modern, reliable and efficient security solution. It allows BIOLAN to manage access to their premises with digital precision, allowing authorised employees and visitors to enter with a simple tap of their smartphone or transponder.
Tapkey's system’s flexibility and control are pivotal. Permissions can be granted or withdrawn in real time, ensuring that access aligns with BIOLAN’s operational needs. In a fast-paced world, where the ability to adapt quickly is crucial, such measures offer a level of security and oversight that is both reassuring and necessary.
For a company like BIOLAN, which punches well above its weight on the global stage, protecting its facilities means safeguarding the innovations that underpin our confidence in food safety. This is not just a matter of convenience but a critical step in ensuring the integrity of their work and, by extension, the food we consume.
BIOLAN’s collaboration with DOM-MCM represents a seamless integration of cutting-edge technology and pragmatic security. It is an approach that reflects a deeper truth: innovation and security are two sides of the same coin. Together, they ensure that our food systems remain not only advanced but also trusted.
In securing their future, BIOLAN reminds us that safeguarding progress is as vital as making it – ensuring that we don’t have to think about it every time we sit down to eat.
