Mercury Embedded Application Environment

The Mercury embedded application environment is transforming access control by enabling applications to run directly on Mercury MP Controllers. That means you can adapt your system without replacing hardware, process business logic at the edge for faster performance and integrate seamlessly with controllers, IoT devices, elevators, readers and locks. All while improving cybersecurity.

Edge computing takes access control to the next level by enabling faster decision-making, increasing resilience and maintaining uninterrupted security. By running access logic directly on the controller, there’s no lag caused by remote server dependencies, so security responses are immediate. Even environments that need constant protection, like government facilities and critical infrastructure, benefit from edge computing’s enhanced reliability and system integrity. And during network disruptions? Edge-based processing ensures continued security operations without interruption.

Integrating different technologies into one access control system doesn’t have to be complicated. App-enabled Mercury MP Controllers support interoperability with access control infrastructure, creating a seamlessly integrated, cohesive security environment where the controllers act as the central hub for readers, locks, elevators, HVAC and facility management systems. Their flexible design even plays well with third-party solutions, so you can easily keep up with ever-changing security requirements.

Mercury’s embedded application environment gives developers the tools they need to create targeted, scalable solutions that enhance security capabilities while maintaining system stability. Standardized APIs streamline integration and support scalability. A stable, well-structured framework supports new technologies while preserving existing system functionality. And, with our structured process, you can be sure developing and deploying apps within Mercury’s ecosystem balances the highest standards of security with the freedom of innovation.

A strong, multi-layered security framework keeps firmware, processes and data safe from unauthorized access and cyber threats. Secure Boot verifies firmware integrity at startup, preventing unauthorized code execution. ARM TrustZone Protection creates a hardware-enforced secure enclave to isolate critical processes. And encryption ensures that sensitive data stays locked down and out of reach, even in the event of a physical attack.

Mercury fosters collaboration between technology partners, end users and OEMs to drive innovation, deliver more control and unlock possibilities.

A single integration provides access to 25+ OEMs, increasing brand recognition and revenue potential.

A robust ecosystem maximizes infrastructure value, offering adaptable, future-ready solutions.

OEMs benefit from simplified integrations, enhanced PACS capabilities and expanded market reach.
