CERN - deister's electronic key management system proxSafe for highest protection

A particle accelerator is used for fundamental scientific research at the European Organization for Nuclear Research - CERN - in Geneva. Nobody is allowed to be in the tunnel while experiments are taking place - the radiation would be deadly. The protection of the scientists have highest priority. The operators must be absolutely certain that no-one is in the accelerator tunnel as long as experiments are taking place. The high safety requirements are realized with doubly-secured safety doors, fingerprint readers, a weighing system and deister's electronic key management system proxSafe. The user-friendly proxSafe system has enabled the European Organization for Nuclear Research to track key movements by time, date and user. With proxSafe the organization has effected a major improvement in security. deister electronic was the only company that could meet all the safety and technical requirements contained in the international tender. proxSafe provides full control and accountability along with highest security 24 hours a day.
