Traka Key Security in the 3PL and Warehouse Environment

You have a hundreds of thousands dollars wrapped up in equipment, so the last thing you want is for it to either go missing, cause damage, or worse cause damage to someone or their property. Seeing a need, Traka developed an electronic key security system that can help you protect your assets, whether it is a forklift or entrance to a manufacturing plant.

Traka’s ifob is an innovative solution to controlling access to a location or equipment. Because the equipment is pre-programmed, you not only control who has access to your equipment but length of time, as well. The ifob records who has taken the key, as well as the date, time, and specific equipment. It can be pre-programmed for a specific period. The information is stored within the ifob until the individual returns to the cabinet and downloads it. Should the ifob be used outside the pre-determined time, then the key stops working and access is denied.

The electronic key management system helps guarantee that keys are used only by authorized personnel, ultimately ensuring over site of equipment and the individuals that have access to that tool.

Awesome technology here. Reminiscent of the pharmaceutical robot that medical facilities routinely employ to accurately fill prescriptions and cut down on theft. On a smaller scale, yes, but the concept--and effectiveness--is quite similar.

I'd like to hear more about the robot.
