ecos secure, the intelligent Key Management System

ecos secure key control systems comply with all the highest requirements in the security sector. The intelligent key control system makes it possible for defined personnel to have selected exclusive keys for themselves. Due to locks on the door and the key, all keys are doubly secured.

The keys are attached to intelligent plugs using safety locks or seals. These plugs are coded via an integrated chip. As a result of this, the intelligent plug, which is attached to the key, is always uniquely identifiable.

Securing the cabinet door
The cabinet door is opened only by using the access authorisation of the relevant user. These rights can be granted in the form of a secret code, magnetic card, chip card or a transponder and even using biometric identification.

Using the combination with an additional PIN number, an unauthorised person will be denied access in the event of loss of the access card. As a result, it can also be ensured that certain keys only allow an object to be removed in presence of a second person: the “four eyes” principle.

Key security
Each user can be given individual access rights for each individual key as a result of the coding in the intelligent plug and the stand alone lock.

Time-dependent releases for the key can be programmed individually and for groups for different users.

Permanent monitoring and remote release
Using the most modern communication technology it is possible to connect the system directly to your Intranet.

This ensures a permanent, decentralised monitoring of the key movements by those responsible even from great distances.

In emergencies the necessary keys can be released without any time delay using the remote controlled stand alone release.

System Components
Key cabinet with integrated system plate (processor), keyboard, LCD display, loudspeaker and personal identification method like PIN code, non-contacting card reader or also biometric methods (fingerprint, palm recognition).

Administration programme based on Microsoft .net development environment and a Microsoft SQL-data base.

Alarm
Individually adjustable safety levels allow different levels of variation in alarm. Unauthorised actions (e.g. exceeding time limits) are recognised immediately.

The multi-level alarm system immediately informs of the use of force, unauthorised removal or interruption in electricity supply at the location both optically and acoustically as well as in the control centre.

Events are simultaneously recorded and can be automatically passed over to the Officer-in-Charge or an extraneous security service company as email or SMS text message.
