Audit Trails & Audit-Based Responsibility Tracing

In order to ensure proper maintenance of electrical facilities, it is necessary for managers to have access to employee maintenance records. Operation logs for lock and unlock can serve as the basis for liability tracking in case of accidents such as equipment loss.

The Vanma locking system includes an audit trail and smart keys that store data. Once the data is uploaded to a computer, managers can review the specific times when locks were opened and unlocked.

Eliminating Unauthorized Key Duplication and Loss Risks

Some employees misplace keys, leading to key loss, while others illegally duplicate keys for convenience, both of which increase the difficulty of key management.

Vanma electronic keys use metal contacts to confirm access, instead of traditional key shapes. As a result, the Vanma Smart Key is nonduplicable.

Lost keys can be added to a blacklist to deny access without needing the lock to be replaced by the administrator.

IP68 Weatherproof Locks for Outdoor Power Facilities

Infrastructure in the power industry is often located outdoors and exposed to extreme weather conditions. Additionally, dust or oxidation of the lock cylinder can cause the lock to become jammed, preventing it from functioning properly.

The Vanma electronic lock has an IP68 protection rating, the highest level of waterproof and dustproof rating. It does not have a traditional keyhole, so there is no risk of dust or snow blocking the keyhole. The electronic key transmits data through infrared sensing technology, so it can still unlock even if the lock surface is wet.
