15/04/2023

Safe and secure remote access for assisted living• Locksmith set up Axxium to exploit an

opportunity in the ‘smart home’ market

• He lacked the digital electronics expertise to develop and take his idea to market

• Innovate UK bridged the gap through its Innovation Voucher programme

“That £5,000 and the chance to collaborate with the University of Hertfordshire, proved to be absolutely critical.” Andrew Taylor, managing director

Successes and the future• Axxium perfected a remote-controlled lock able to be

opened or closed via a mobile phone• The company has signed up a distributor for its smart locks

in Securefast plc • Axxium is developing sensors that will alert a householder

to an intruder drilling a door to break in

“Our smart locks been invented, developed and made using British expertise – thanks to funding from Innovate UK.” Andrew Taylor, managing director
