Global Energy Supplier chooses deister proxSafe Key Management

When there are large numbers of employees working on multiple sites all around the world, lost or mislaid keys can quickly result in an organisation incurring considerable additional costs through lost man hours. BG Group Plc, a global energy supplier with operations in over 25 countries, across 5 continents, has acted to safeguard keys at their Thames Valley Park site, by purchasing a deister electronic proxSafe maxx Key Management System, with automatic roller shutter door. The proxSafe is an intelligent key management system. It can secure large numbers of keys out of view in a stylish aluminium key cabinet, providing a cost-effective access control solution to doors which are still secured by conventional lock and key. Smart RFID keyTags are at the heart of the system, which are secured in the cabinet using proxCylinders, a combination of a proximity reader and a mechanical lock. proxSafe offers a number of configuration possibilities ranging from a stand-alone installation, which operates without the need for a personal computer, to a fully integrated installation for a global organization's I.T. network, providing a seamless management of users and keys worldwide. The proxSafe commander software allows assignment of keys to users, as well as providing detailed calendar and reporting functions. An organization's small but valuable items, such as mobile telephones, PDAs and digital cameras, can also be securely managed using proxSafe locker systems. deister electronic offers a number of modular cabinet designs to provide such application flexibility.
