Padlocks, as one of the oldest and most common locks, have always played a fundamental role in the field of security. However, traditional padlocks rely on mechanical keys, there are easy to lose, difficult to manage, weak security and other issues. With the integration of passive electronic technology, padlocks ushered in an intelligent breakthrough, passive electronic padlocks by virtue of the “battery-free, traceable, high-security” features in a number of scenarios to show the unique value of redefining the boundaries of the application of padlocks.
Logistics Transportation: Keeping Cargo Safety Under Control
In long-distance freight transportation and container transportation, the key management of traditional padlocks is a difficult problem -- the driver, warehouseman and consignee hand over the keys to each other, which is not only inefficient, but also has the risk of the keys being copied. Passive electronic padlock perfectly solves this pain point: it does not need a key, through the NFC card or cell phone APP authorization to open the lock, each time the lock will automatically record the time, the operator and other information, synchronized to the management platform. Managers can view the lock status of goods in transit in real time through the backstage, and if there is abnormal locking, the system will immediately warn you, thus reducing the possibility of goods being stolen or switched from the root. In addition, its anti-pry structure and IP67 waterproof performance can withstand bumps, rain and dust during transportation, ensuring safety throughout the process.
Power communication: to protect the stable operation of outdoor equipment
Power base stations, communication cabinets and other outdoor equipment is widely distributed, the traditional padlock is exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, easy to rust and jam, and the key is easy to be accessed by unauthorized personnel, threatening the safety of the equipment. Passive electronic padlock is made of stainless steel and sealed design, can work stably in extreme environment from - 40℃ to 85℃, completely get rid of the trouble of “rusty deadbolt”. Operation and maintenance personnel do not need to carry a large number of keys, only with an authorization card can open all padlocks within the jurisdiction, significantly improving the inspection efficiency. What's more, through the hierarchical management of authority, the scope of locking can be restricted to different personnel -- for example, maintenance personnel can only open the cabinets in the responsible area, and the administrator can view the locking records of all the equipment, so as to make the management of outdoor equipment more standardized.
Sharing Economy: Activating the Safe Circulation of Idle Resources
In the fields of shared bicycles, shared charging treasures and shared tools, the “one-size-fits-all” management of traditional padlocks can hardly meet the demand for refined operation. Passive electronic padlock supports temporary authorization function, users can get short-time unlocking authority through APP code scanning, and it will be locked automatically after use, without manual intervention in the whole process. For the shared tool cabinet, it can realize the traceability management of “who receives, who returns” through the authority setting, which reduces the loss rate of tools. Its “battery-free” characteristics do not need to worry about longevity, even if the equipment is idle for a long time, it can always respond to the unlocking command, reducing the operator's maintenance costs.
Warehouse Management: Enhancing the Security Level of the Warehouse Area
The confusing key management of large warehouses and cargo containers is a common pain point, and once the key is lost, it may lead to the failure of the security system of the whole warehouse area. Passive electronic padlock can be linked with the warehouse management system, for different positions, different goods set exclusive locking privileges: forklift drivers can only open the padlock of the designated cargo area, temporary workers do not have access to high-value goods area. The unlocking record is synchronized to the system in real time, which is convenient for checking the correlation between goods in and out of the warehouse and locking operation at the end of the month inventory, making the warehouse management more accurate. At the same time, its anti-shearing and anti-sawing physical structure can effectively resist violent damage, adding “double insurance” for cargo safety.
Campus and Park: Simplifying Public Facility Management
In the sports equipment rooms and laboratories in schools, and public lockers and green belt fences in parks, traditional padlocks are often forced to be picked and replaced due to key loss, which is a waste of cost and affects usage. Passive electronic padlock support batch authorization and permission recovery, the new semester for teachers and students to open locker permissions, graduation one-key recovery; laboratory hazardous materials storage cabinets can be set up “two-person authorization” mode, requiring two administrators at the same time to verify that the locks, to eliminate security risks. Its operation is simple and intuitive, no need for complex training to get started, especially suitable for public scenes with frequent personnel movement.
From freight cars to outdoor cabinets, from shared equipment to campus facilities, passive electronic padlocks with “keyless management”, “full-process traceability”, “extreme environmental adaptation” three core advantages It breaks the application limitations of traditional padlocks. It is not only a lock, but also a set of lightweight security management solutions, so that the originally dispersed security nodes to form a linkage network, in order to enhance the security at the same time, significantly reduce the management costs, and become the “finishing touch” of the intelligent upgrading of various industries.
