Dave O’Toole is a locksmith from Dublin. His shop is on the Dublin’s Amiens St. And he came up with the idea of a touch lock after his mother had problem with opening doors after a stroke.

He developed an electronic tag that transforms radio frequency signals on touch. And this tag is portable, you can carry it in a purse or in pocket. There won’t be any struggle with keys while using touch lock.

Dave pitched his idea in the Silicon Valley last month. And he now has many platforms interested in him. Indiegogo, telecommunications giant AT&T, and Fortune 500 company Arrow Electronics, all seem interested in Dave’s Touch2Access. And many more companies like Locksmith Philadelphia are also planning on entering this touch access arena of smart locks.

Dave is now preparing to raise a crowd funding campaign. He won in a San Francisco based Hardware start-up bootcamp. About 120 participants took part in this bootcamp from US, as well as Asia. After his success here, he received certification from Arrow and the multinational expressed its interest in a global licensing deal.

Touch2Access is the best way to unlock a home for elderly people. It does not need a digital card or a code. Dave says –“The key tag stays in the pocket or the purse, and when you touch the door, it then sends a signal from the key tag over the body to the motorised lock, which opens automatically. So once you touch the door, the lock opens, you just have to push it.”

The lock specially aims at the elderly and those with disability. It is also an option for younger generation who prefer a tech option. He worked on his idea and developed it with the help of Cork Institute of Technology and funding from Enterprise Ireland’s Innovation Partnership.

This lock is the new generation lock, and it has limitless potential. It is for anyone who wants a hassle free and secure option to lock their home. And soon this new lock can replace 90% of the existing locks which use either standard European lock or American deadbolt. Dave acquired the patent for his technology. And he will turn his prototype into a product this summer.

MADISON, Wis— Evo Tech announced new updates to its flagship platform, Evolution AI, designed to enhance threat detection and real-time data analysis for intelligence, security, and law enforcement agencies. The upgraded system introduces expanded capabilities in pattern recognition, automated alerts, and data aggregation to improve response accuracy in critical operations.

The company’s latest release focuses on enabling faster identification of potential threats across multiple data streams, including text, imagery, and audio inputs. By combining adaptive machine learning models with advanced verification tools, Evolution AI now provides a more precise and scalable method for detecting irregular or suspicious activity.

“Security challenges are growing more complex as data sources multiply,” said Maria Pulera, Evo Tech’s representative. “Our goal with these new features is to help agencies detect threats earlier and reduce the time between data discovery and action. These tools are built to support real-world decision-making in fast-moving environments.”

Among the new enhancements are:

Automated Threat Classification: The platform can now categorize potential risks based on severity and relevance, allowing analysts to prioritize investigations more effectively.
Cross-Platform Data Fusion: Evolution AI aggregates data from both structured and unstructured sources, presenting analysts with unified, real-time insights across visual, audio, and textual inputs.
Adaptive Anomaly Detection: Using machine learning, the platform learns from historical data to recognize unusual activity patterns and flag potential security concerns automatically.
Enhanced Visualization Tools: New dashboard designs allow users to view correlations, track trends, and monitor data sources simultaneously with improved clarity.

Evo Tech’s development team designed these upgrades to help intelligence and defense organizations address increasing information volume and data fragmentation. According to industry reports, global data generation is expected to exceed 175 zettabytes annually by 2026, underscoring the need for advanced analytical tools that can handle large-scale, multi-format data securely.

Pulera added, “Our technology aims to reduce the manual burden on analysts while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity. We’ve focused on features that allow agencies to operate more efficiently without compromising security.”

The company’s engineering team also confirmed that Evolution AI’s infrastructure supports deployment in secure, private networks, aligning with the data protection requirements of defense and intelligence clients. Evo Tech plans to continue rolling out additional modules throughout 2025, with a focus on multilingual data analysis and predictive threat modeling.

Evo Tech’s latest updates come as governments and private institutions invest heavily in AI-driven security technologies. Market forecasts from MarketsandMarkets estimate that AI in defense and security applications will surpass $13 billion by 2028, reflecting a growing global emphasis on automation and early threat detection.
