Key management system

by Mark Rowe

Abloy UK now offers the Traka21, stand-alone key management system. Traka21 offers RFID (radio frequency identification) to small and medium sized businesses and manages up to 21 keys or keysets in what the makers term a plug and play unit.

The product authorises, secures and monitors all keys, automatically controlling and recording when a key is used and by whom – details made available through the cabinet’s display or by exporting on a USB pen drive. A user can enter a unique PIN code to gain access to the cabinet, with green LEDs indicating those keys to which this user has access. The user cannot remove keys highlighted by the red LEDs, which continue to remain locked in place.

To return the key, the user enters their PIN to access the cabinet again, and an amber light indicates the return position. Simple reports can be reviewed on the screen, and exported data such as audit trails can be viewed and manipulated on a computer using Excel or similar.

Jon Burke, Marketing Manager for Abloy UK, said: “Although commercial security is becoming increasingly sophisticated, there is still a lack of management when it comes to business critical keys.

“In some cases keys are often left in open view or unsecure locations, meaning they can easily get lost or taken by unauthorised persons. This creates the risk of losing security of access to buildings, facilities, secure areas, equipment, machinery, lockers, cabinets and vehicles.”
