Access control and asset management are often the weak link in facilities operations. Managing audit trails, keeping track of lost or damaged assets, issuing badges manually and enforcing consistent governance: these are precisely the areas where inefficiencies and security vulnerabilities emerge.
With the latest Sine by Honeywell release, there is a clear focus on eliminating these gaps. The aim: a unified, industry-leading system for asset and access governance that combines speed, layered clearance hierarchies and full compliance.
From an advanced asset register to deeper integrations across the Honeywell Commercial Security ecosystem, this release introduces enterprise-grade tools designed to reduce risk, enhance operational efficiency and make visitor and contractor management seamless for facilities, security and front-of-house teams.
If you’ve ever stood at a key cabinet juggling tags or manually assigning radios, scanners, and laptops to contractors, you know how quickly asset management can turn into a bottleneck. Or worse, a security liability. Our groundbreaking new asset register, Assets, delivers a streamlined, digital-first alternative.
Facilities can now log and assign day-to-day items (keys, radios, equipment, vehicles, even access cards) directly through Sine. Issuing becomes as simple as scanning a tag and handing over the asset. Items can be retained across multiple visits or sites, and then automatically reconciled at
check-out.
The result? A complete, verifiable chain of custody for every item, without the cost and overhead of a traditional cabinet solution.
For environments requiring granular, real-time control, Smart Assets introduces a brand new security standard. By linking contractor check-in and check-out directly with the activation of RFID and proximity cards, access becomes dynamic and risk-free.
Paired with features like geofencing, check-in approvals, and invitation-only access, Smart Assets creates a multi-layered security framework, where credentials only function for the right person, at the right time, in the right location. If an induction check fails, for example, perhaps due to an expiry, the system automatically deactivates that contractor’s credentials.
The result is dramatically reduced exposure to risks such as tailgating, lost badges or unauthorized visitor access.
Sine’s cutting-edge Secure Bridge technology makes integrating cloud visitor management with on-premise access control dramatically faster and safer.
Historically, these integrations required clunky third-party middleware or inbound firewall rules, which was an operational headache for IT and security teams. Secure Bridge eliminates those pain points. No more inbound firewall ports. No external middleware. Users get full and flexible control over tunnel placement within their infrastructure.
That means, for the first time ever, IT no longer has to compromise network architecture or security to enable connectivity. Secure Bridge enables a secure, flexible pathway to link Sine with platforms like Honeywell ProWatch, Gallagher, and Inner Range, accelerating deployment while safeguarding clients’ IT environments.
Viewed within the larger Honeywell Commercial Security ecosystem, Sine becomes far more than a visitor and asset management platform. With new native integrations to LenelS2 Elements and ProWatch, Sine is now positioned as an enterprise-ready access control layer across multiple systems.
Some of these industry-leading features include:
This ecosystem-first approach allows security leaders to manage credentials, assets and access governance from a single, fully-integrated platform.
Instead of treating access as a flat, horizontal clearance model, Sine by Honeywell is built around layered, role-specific controls, which gives facility managers far greater, more granular control.
By tailoring access permissions to the exact zones and tasks relevant to each visitor or contractor, organizations reduce risk while improving their operational flow. Sensitive areas remain protected, contractors move quickly to where they need to be, and check-in processes are simplified. All without compromising safety.
This is access governance redefined: frictionless for users, robust for operators.
As every facility manager knows, at the heart of secure facility management is a clear, verifiable audit chain. With Sine, every access event is logged, every device registered, every check-in and check-out stored in the cloud.
This provides a transparent record of who was onsite, when, and with what assets. It also strengthens accountability, simplifies compliance reporting, and makes audits significantly less resource-intensive.
And with this digital audit trail comes additional insight. The more you know about patterns of movement and asset use, the better you can optimize site security and streamline visitor experiences.
Whether your goal is to replace a manual key cabinet, automate contractor access or unify security across multiple sites, Sine’s groundbreaking new features are built to scale with enterprise demands.
See how Sine by Honeywell delivers layered access, robust governance and real-time visibility for every single asset.
