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!

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.
