Forwarding agent Keimeier &
Finke has been moving goods
around the world for 70 years.

The need for a more efficient,
secure system of key
management led the company
to Traka, which recommended
its L-series key cabinet,
capable of accommodating
up to 360 key locations.

At the heart of the cabinet
is the iFob: an intelligent
bullet-shaped device which
contains a chip with a unique
serial number, giving each
one an individual ID. Keys
are attached to the iFob using
self-locking security seals.

The iFob is made from
nickel-plated brass and is
suitable for use in cold stores
at -30°C. Its shape allows it to
automatically lock into the
Traka cabinet and its smooth
surface is self-cleaning.
Ines Owen,
international
distribution
manager, says:
“The Traka
cabinet has
solved our
problems. No
more looking
for keys – we
can follow up
at any time
who was the
last to use
which key and whether or
not they returned it. To log
into the system, every
employee has their own PIN
number which is used in
conjunction with a biometrics
fingerprint reader. The initial
purchase price of the cabinet
was quickly recouped.”
