Smart Access Control & Lock Systems for Water Utilities

Water resources and water quality are closely linked to population growth and economic growth. Today’s wastewater treatment plants are often complex facilities that use modern technology and reflect advances in engineering principles and practices, chemistry and microbiology. The wastewater field has a language of its own. If surface water supplies, and sometimes groundwater supplies, are available for human use, water treatment is often necessary, either for drinking or for irrigation, industry, and other lower quality water supplies that may be recovered from wastewater.

Water industry facilities are usually located outdoors in remote, widely distributed and humid environments. The areas where they are located are far from power sources and unattended. Often subject to extreme weather conditions. Some special water treatment links also involve the use of hazardous chemicals. Therefore, the material requirements for locking equipment are very high. And many of the devices require simultaneous use by subcontractors, operators, testers and other people in multiple capacities, and the management of the locking equipment is also critical.

Vanma electromechanical locking solution has accumulated many cases in the water industry and developed solutions to address these issues to help customers guard the security of water projects. vanma solutions are applicable to all aspects of water pumping stations, water treatment centers, outdoor water, etc. Vanma solutions provide customers in the water industry with strong access control and flexible authorization and accountability. The system provides greater security for many water projects.

High quality locking materials

The Vanma locks are made of stainless steel and are rugged, waterproof, shockproof and tamper-proof, with a dust and water resistance rating of IP68. This ensures that the locks will not corrode or be compromised in wet conditions, and also prevents chemicals from attacking the locks during water treatment sessions. Only two metal contacts to avoid being opened by technology like traditional mechanical locks, passive electronic locks without mechanical holes, which can guarantee that water treatment equipment can still be well protected in areas with complex geographical environments.

Access Monitoring for Remote Water Pump Stations

Due to the remote location of some water stations, the cost of human management is high, so there is the possibility of water resources being maliciously damaged and contaminated, there are also some outdoor water man-made theft and water waste behavior. Vanma solution can be access control for areas that are remote and cannot be managed by human. The unlocking record will be uploaded to the app and computer in real time, so that no unauthorized person can use and modify the device. The smart key can be connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth and communicates with a centralized access control management system via the Vanma access control system. The system combines flexibility and security, providing single-entry privileges when necessary. This solves the security problems associated with unattended access.

Flexible authorization ensures efficiency

The management process of the water treatment center is complex, with different staff at each step and several identities of users needing to open the same lock. the Vanma solution is able to authorize the keys used to open the locks and manage the unified entry of those using the keys through the Vanma management system, which can ensure that subcontractors, testers and operators can all be effectively authenticated to open the locks and improve work efficiency.

Blacklist function

The blacklist function of Vanma solution can add lost keys to the blacklist in Vanma system, so that even if the keys are picked up, they cannot be unlocked to the original equipment, which can save the cost lost due to lost keys to the greatest extent.

Convenient installation and operation

Vanma series smart locks are indistinguishable from mechanical locks in appearance and are also known as electromechanical lock cylinders. Therefore, installation is very simple and mechanical locks of the same size can be completely replaced without wiring. It is the most cost effective security solution for water companies, pumping stations, and outdoor water use where facilities are widely distributed.
