Automated key management systems used in motor pools and other vehicle fleet operations are an effective tool for helping to improve efficiencies in fleet practices. Along with other new technologies that lead to fleet management best practices, fleet key control enables management to regulate and track vehicle usage and ultimately to contain costs.
The recent bouts of violent weather in the American southeast and Midwest had many car dealerships scrambling to protect their exposed inventory from damaging hail and severe winds. Easy and fast access to keys, held in car key management systems, enabled the dealerships to more quickly move cars to protected areas and limit the amount of potential damage.
Automated key control has taken a significant step forward with the introduction of key control systems that feature enhanced capacitive touch screen technology. The larger size of these LCD screens – up to 7” – allows for easier viewing by the user and also permits the addition of more information to be displayed on the screen. Content, directions or other information is displayed with crisp colors and high contrast and at a resolution of 800 x 480 to help ensure excellent readability.
In almost any environment where safety and security procedures are needed, the management of physical access control items such as keys, key cards or master keys is necessary to the overall protection and defense of the facility. Whether it is a key that will open the door to a money counting room at a casino, or master card keys to enter a guest’s hotel suite, uncontrolled key access can cause serious security breaches.
Access control systems for health care facilities can be designed in a number of ways and often include solutions such as card access systems (proximity or swipe styles), locks and keys, and even security guards. Along with these measures, one of the most frequently implemented and effective security solutions is an automated key control system with tracking capability.
