Electronic Key Management System I-KEYBOX 8+2A

Purpose

Violanta electronic key holders are designed for storing and issuing keys, as well as monitoring and accounting for the use of keys by employees of the organization. This solution optimizes the business processes in the organization to optimize costs.

How is the key usage accounting system arranged?

Accounting is ensured by the fact that on each key a sealed cable with an identifier is put on, as well as an RFID tag.

Each key is equipped with an RFID tag, which is locked in the slot and unlocked only to authorized users. When installing RFID tags in the slot, the system sees this.

With a cable with a seal and a serial number, you will definitely know that the keys have not been changed or removed from the bundle with the RFID tag

Given this, full control is provided and eliminates system vulnerability.

Why is key accounting required?

The main advantage of this accounting is that the system administrator knows who and when uses the keys. Accordingly, in case of theft, equipment breakdown or any other similar situations, the administrator knows who owned the keys at that moment.

It can also be useful to control the time the key is used.
