Advantages of a Radio Locker System for Your Business
Radio lockers, sometimes grouped under the wider smart locker heading, are one of the security industry’s best-kept secrets. If you’re looking for a safe, secure way to manage smaller technology in your business without hampering the responsiveness of your staff, they could be the perfect solution for you. Today Intellekey shows you why.
The Small Asset Problem
Securing smaller assets like keys, phones, and radios is a headache a surprising number of businesses face. You need them to be quickly accessible to the staff who need them, but they’re so easy to break, lose, or outright steal that they become a problem on-site.
Many smaller businesses, especially, rely on an overly complicated ‘chain of command’ and manual check-ins and check-outs that can quickly get cumbersome for the people working with them daily. When your security procedures are difficult and multi-layered, they encourage avoidance and non-compliance, too. This makes the whole procedure overly messy and difficult and leaves you vulnerable to asset loss as well as inefficiency.
What is a Radio Locker, Anyway?
Radio lockers, and smart lockers in general, are a great way to introduce an easier, seamless process for managing these small assets. With custom-designed cubicles to store each device, you leverage the power of RFID security technology to keep them safe when not in circulation.
Typically, the unit will also act as a charging station, allowing you to keep your assets powered up and ready for use while protected. Some, such as those offered by Intellekey, even use wifi and Ethernet-enabled tech so you can keep them ‘live’ and on your network for seamless transitions to the staff who need them as well as monitor each device’s health. Of course, a fall-over power system is included to avoid safety issues from power interruption or even theft attempts.
State-of-the-art safety glass and steel keep them untouchable, while the RFID key fob for each compartment allows access control you can coordinate as needed.
Benefits of a Radio Locker for your Business
We’re sure you can already see how this can benefit your business, but let’s take a closer look:
- Asset tracking: Individual compartments and personalized key tags ensure you can track each asset and gather critical data on usage patterns. This also lets you identify any issues surrounding the users.
- Content management: Many systems also include sensors, ensuring the correct asset is returned every time, and giving you greater overall control.
- Productivity: Because it’s seamless and mostly self-managed, your staff can still access small assets with ease and without complicated procedures.
- Automation: Likewise, automated check-in and check-out let staff concentrate on their core business duties and prevent asset loss
- Accountability: With an impersonal data tracking system monitoring usage, returns, and security, you can identify problem areas and keep staff accountable without fuss or a feeling of being ‘over managed’. These insights can also help you create clearer systems and better management and procedures overall.
- Equipment lifespans: You can also leverage this data to monitor key metrics like battery drain, unit quality, and more, meaning you can replace assets before problems arise for your staff.
- Emergency preparation: No one needs to be hunting down the only person with the keys in an emergency. Instead, you’re ready to go no matter what gets thrown at you day to day. Emergency overrides mean manual access can always be used if needed.
All in all, radio lockers working on smart technology allow staff to work as needed and without issues, while keeping small assets safe and ready for use. Hassle-free, seamlessly, and with no need for elaborate manual systems that are open to misuse and theft.
