Not another box-ticking technology company.

Every unusual requirement starts with a conversation. Kurt's strength is understanding how systems really behave, finding the weak point, and working towards a solution that makes more sense.

R229 Innovations is being shaped around that mindset — bringing together smart access, electronic controls and the wider potential of thoughtful product development.

One technical foundation.
More than one direction.

Specialist experience in access and controls, with scope to explore new products and applications across connected technology.

Smarter access control

Gate automation, control integration, intelligent entry concepts, practical commissioning and problem-solving.

02 / ENGINEERING

Electrical & controls

Control systems, programming, fault-finding, integration challenges and technical improvements.

03 / SECURITY

Security & intercoms

Access security, GSM intercom experience and connected systems for residential and commercial settings.

04 / PROBLEM SOLVING

Bespoke smart solutions

Niche problems, uncommon briefs and tailored approaches where standard equipment does not fit.

05 / INNOVATION

Product development

Exploring ideas, comparing technology, improving specifications and evaluating prototypes with suitable partners.

06 / FUTURE AREAS

Automotive & beyond

A future-facing area of interest, with opportunities to explore adjacent electronics, controls and practical innovation.

Real experience.
Different thinking.

Kurt brings 14 years of hands-on experience in UK gate automation and access control, including site surveys, installation, programming, commissioning, diagnostics, safety-device configuration and GSM-based intercom systems.

“Bring us the problem that doesn't have an obvious answer.”

The ambition is to take a problem from first conversation through investigation, solution design, testing and — where appropriate — practical installation and commissioning.

  1. 01Understand what the customer actually needs.
  2. 02Rethink the options and look for a smarter approach.
  3. 03Develop and evaluate a practical solution.
  4. 04Deliver and commission where the scope and capability allow.

SMART ACCESS
REIMAGINED.
Simpler installation · Fewer components · Better integration

Concept illustration — not a finished product.

Improve what's possible.

One early idea is an integrated automatic number-plate recognition (ANPR) gate-access solution designed to simplify installation and reduce the need for separate equipment.

Before any market introduction, the technology would need structured testing, controller compatibility checks, safety and data-protection review, clear supplier agreements and real-world validation.

✓Test real hardware before making promises.
✓Collaborate on improvements with capable technical partners.
✓Keep reliability, usability and installer needs central.
Development concept under evaluation. No ANPR product, certification, exclusivity or manufacturing agreement is being claimed.

Have an unusual brief?
Let's talk.

We welcome conversations about bespoke technology requirements, research and development, sample testing, smart access systems and suitable manufacturing partnerships.
