Recently, there has been a surge in incidents of theft (loss) of highly toxic substances. The prevailing management methods, which lean heavily on the assumption of good faith, such as "keys stored in easily accessible places" and "history management using ledgers," create an environment where theft could occur at any time. As a countermeasure, a certain research institution has installed KEYes smart padlocks in their toxic substance storage. The KEYes smart padlock sends unlocking history to the management screen upon unlocking, ensuring reliable tracking of usage history and demonstrating high effectiveness as a measure to suppress and prevent internal misconduct. Additionally, the authority to unlock can be freely configured, making it useful as a countermeasure against crimes committed by former employees, such as those who have changed jobs or resigned. If you would like to try it out first, we can provide a sample, so please feel free to contact us! You can download an overview of the implementation case from the related materials below, so please take a look!

**Proposal Summary** 1. Regulatory relaxation for enhanced security Current situation: In various fields, digital transformation (DX) is being promoted, yet the keys to chemical storage locations are still managed through paper logs. Issue: Despite the potential for safe key management and improved efficiency through the use of IoT-enabled "smart locks," digital logs are not permitted. Proposal: Allow digital management of keys to enable safer and more efficient operations. 2. Proposing regulatory relaxation to facilitate the use of digital technology on-site! Current situation: In facilities handling flammable hazardous materials, the entry of IoT devices such as smartphones and tablets is uniformly prohibited, regardless of the level of danger. Issue: This restriction hinders the digital transformation of verification and inspection tasks on-site, even in low-risk areas, thus obstructing operational efficiency. Proposal: Allow the use of IoT devices in low-risk areas only if certain requirements (such as dust and water resistance certification) are met.

Until now, users of the baseball field had to go to the town hall by the end of business hours on weekdays to receive a key, which was cumbersome. Additionally, the administrators had to manage key exchanges outside of regular hours, placing a burden on staff. To solve this issue, we introduced a smart padlock, allowing users to unlock it with their smartphones, completely eliminating the need to go to the town hall to pick up or return the key. This document includes the effects of the implementation, usage methods, procedures, and interview content with the town hall representatives, so please take a moment to read it!

Recently, there has been a surge in theft (loss) incidents involving items stored in lockers managed with simple locks. The prevalent management methods, such as "keeping keys in easily accessible places" and "using ledgers for historical management," are heavily based on the assumption of good faith, creating an environment where theft could occur at any time. As a countermeasure, a certain company's food factory has installed KEYes smart padlocks in their storage lockers. The KEYes smart padlock sends unlocking history to the management screen upon unlocking, ensuring that usage history is reliably recorded, which is highly effective in suppressing and preventing internal misconduct. Additionally, the authority to unlock can be freely set, making it a useful measure to prevent crimes by former employees, such as those who have changed jobs or resigned.

In recent years, the number of unmanned stations across the country has been steadily increasing, and railway companies are considering optimal customer service methods for these unmanned stations. At Kyushu Railway Company, keys have been stored and managed at major stations until now, but in the event of a problem at an unmanned station, it was necessary to first go to a major station to retrieve the keys before heading to the unmanned station. However, they faced challenges regarding the time taken to reach the major station and the response time when issues arose at another unmanned station during the troubleshooting process, which led to the introduction of the smart key box. For more details, please feel free to contact us!! 【What are the smart key boxes and key lock services provided by KEYes?】 These are smart locks (such as smart padlocks and smart key boxes) that can be unlocked via a dedicated app installed on a smartphone, along with a key management system that manages them. By granting unlocking permissions for the smart locks to smartphones through a web-based management site, users can unlock the smart locks from their smartphones. Additionally, the history of "when," "which padlock," "who," and "where" it was opened is uploaded to the management site, allowing users to check the unlocking history of all padlocks from the management site.

Furthermore, it can be used simply by replacing your current padlock, and the padlock body has obtained IP66 certification, meaning it is "completely protected against dust ingress" and "not adversely affected by strong jets of water from any direction," making it suitable for outdoor use.

At Kajima Corporation, we have introduced our smart key boxes at construction site offices. Previously, we duplicated and distributed keys for the number of workers, but we have changed the operation to hanging our smart key box on the doorknob and placing the keys inside it. As a result, the need for key duplication and distribution has been eliminated, and we have also been able to obtain unlocking history (entry and exit records) at a low cost. Additionally, by installing our smart padlocks at material storage areas on construction sites, which are often targets for theft, we can contribute to theft prevention measures. For more details, please feel free to contact us or refer to the related catalog!! 【Key Lock Service】 The Key Lock Service is a keyless padlock system that allows unlocking operations through a dedicated app installed on a smartphone.

This system not only manages entry and exit for vacant rooms but can also be linked to analyzing the number of viewings and decision rates.

We have officially released a new smart padlock with a "locking detection function." Unlike conventional padlocks and other companies' smart locks, which often lack features to prevent "forgetting to lock," this product is equipped with a sensor inside the padlock that detects whether the shackle is down. By using the existing "locking report function," you can manage locking more rigorously.
