Utility Pole Box in Indonesia

The Challenge: Smart lock system for easy operation and management

A utility pole is a post that carries power lines and other equipment into the air to transmit electricity, insulated from the ground and away from people and vehicles. To prevent vandalism and the impact of bad weather on the equipment, the operation box of the utility pole usually needs to be locked.
To ensure the normal transportation of surrounding electricity and the normal operation of other equipment in each area, staff will be arranged to conduct irregular inspections on the operation boxes on the utility poles. Therefore, workers often need to climb up the utility pole, open the operation box, and carry out equipment inspection. Working at heights is very dangerous, which means that the locks of the pole operation box must be easy to operate.

“We need a high-security lock to ensure that the operation box is not damaged. And we need an intelligent unlocking record management system to confirm the working hours of the maintenance personnel.” The manager of SBR put forward their requirements. They are looking for a high-security lock that is easy to operate and manage.

The solution from Vanma

After thorough research and system planning, SBR chose to use the Vanma lock system. Vanma helped them re-lock the operation boxes on the utility poles, install Vanma electronic passive locks, and configure the Vanma management system.

  • The Vanma electronic lock cylinder, one key can open multiple locks
    The Vanma management system realizes the function of opening multiple locks with one key within a preset period by assigning operation rights to the staff. When the key confirms the authority of the staff through fingerprints, the operator can open all the operation boxes within the scope of authority with only one key.
  • Vanma smart locks with hierarchical permission management and authorization
    The Vanma management system realizes the function of opening multiple locks with one key within a preset period by assigning operation rights to the staff. When the key confirms the authority of the staff through fingerprints, the operator can open all the operation boxes within the scope of authority with only one key.
  • Vanma can record the switch lock in real-time
    The manager checks the switch lock records in real-time in the management system to track the actual working conditions of the operators.

The Vanma solution not only solves the problem that it is difficult for regional managers to track working hours, but also reduces the cost for operators to learn the operation process of smart locks. It perfectly solves the existing problems of security and management in the current utility pole boxes. SBR managers said.
