PTI Security Systems, a provider of access-control technologies for the self-storage industry, hosted its inaugural “Tech Days” for employees in February at its “Center of Excellence” in Kennesaw, Georgia. The two-day event included product demonstrations and a facility tour to prepare staff for new technology releases the company will be making later in the year, according to a press release.
The PTI education center offers workstations, meeting space and two technology labs. During the event, team members saw how company products are developed, tested, assembled and shipped. They also participated in hands-on experiences to learn about the keyless Helox padlock, the next-generation AP-1 keypad and the ProEdge smart latch, the release stated.
“This is a preview of more innovation and intentionality to come,” said David Shaw, senior vice president and head of self-storage. “We are passionate about what we are doing in the self-storage industry and the future of PTI, and we want to be sure our team members understand how everything we do supports a frictionless customer experience.”
PTI plans to use the Center of Excellence for further hands-on learning events and industry education days for team members. “PTI’s products can’t only be great in theory; they have to perform exceptionally,” said Michael Tanner, vice president of operations. “Gathering all aspects of our product development and support experience under one roof gives us an unmatched opportunity to collaborate before, during and after deployment, all for the benefit of our customers.”
PTI manufactures technology-enabled security solutions for self-storage operations. Its product line includes access-control hardware and software, wired and wireless door alarms, and mobile-access solutions. The company has installed more than 40,000 systems in 30-plus countries, according to its website. It’s part of the Assa Abloy Global Solutions portfolio of brands.
