KEYes List of News Articles

Recently, there has been a surge in theft (loss) incidents involving items stored in lockers managed with simple locks. The prevalent management methods, such as "keeping keys in easily accessible places" and "using ledgers for history management," are heavily based on the assumption of good faith, creating an environment where theft could occur at any time. As a countermeasure, a certain company's food factory has installed KEYes smart padlocks in their storage lockers. The KEYes smart padlock sends unlocking history to the management screen upon unlocking, ensuring that usage history is reliably obtained, which effectively helps in suppressing and preventing internal misconduct. Additionally, the authority to unlock can be freely set, making it a useful measure to prevent crimes by former employees, such as those who have changed jobs or resigned.

In recent years, the number of unmanned stations across the country has been steadily increasing, and railway companies are considering optimal customer service methods for these unmanned stations. At Kyushu Railway Company, keys have been stored and managed at major stations until now, but in the event of a problem at an unmanned station, it was necessary to first go to a major station to retrieve the keys before heading to the unmanned station. However, recognizing the challenges posed by the time taken to reach the major station and the potential for issues to arise at other unmanned stations during trouble response, they have introduced a smart key box. For more details, please feel free to contact us! 【What are the smart key boxes and key lock services provided by KEYes?】 These are smart locks (such as smart padlocks and smart key boxes) that can be unlocked via a dedicated app installed on a smartphone, along with a key management system to manage them. By granting unlocking permissions for the smart locks to smartphones through a web-based management site, the smart locks can be unlocked from the smartphone. Additionally, the history of "when," "which padlock," "who," and "where" it was opened is uploaded to the management site, allowing for the review of unlocking history for all padlocks from the management site.

On November 15 (Friday), an interview article with our company representative, Noyori, was published in the Yomiuri Shimbun's print and digital editions, as well as on Yahoo News. Please take a moment to read it through the related link. Additionally, we have prepared a trial plan for companies that would like to try our services. For more details, please feel free to contact us! 【Smart Padlock that Can Be Unlocked with a Smartphone】 This is a keyless padlock system that can be unlocked using a dedicated app installed on your smartphone. It digitizes the unlocking history, including "when," "which padlock," "who," and "where" it was opened, allowing you to check this information from a management screen on the web. Furthermore, it can be used simply by replacing your current padlock, and the padlock body has obtained IP66 certification, ensuring that "dust ingress is completely prevented" and "it is not adversely affected by strong direct jets of water from any direction," making it suitable for outdoor use.

Recently, there has been a surge in incidents of theft (or loss) of highly toxic substances. This is largely due to management methods that heavily lean on the assumption of good faith, such as "keys being stored in easily accessible places" and "using ledgers for history management," creating an environment where theft could occur at any time. As a countermeasure, a certain research institution has installed KEYes smart padlocks in their toxic substance storage. The KEYes smart padlock sends unlocking history to the management screen upon unlocking, ensuring that usage history is reliably obtained, which is highly effective in suppressing and preventing internal misconduct. Additionally, the authority to unlock can be freely set, making it a useful measure to prevent crimes by former employees, such as those who have changed jobs or resigned. If you would like to try it out first, we can provide a sample, so please feel free to contact us! An overview of the implementation case can be downloaded from the related materials below, so please take a look!

At Kajima Corporation, we have introduced our smart key box to the construction site office. Previously, we duplicated and distributed keys for the number of workers, but we have now implemented a system where the smart key box is hung on the doorknob, and the keys are placed inside it. As a result, there is no longer a need to duplicate and distribute keys, and we have also been able to obtain unlocking history (i.e., entry and exit records) at a low cost. Additionally, by installing our smart padlocks in material storage areas at construction sites, which have seen an increase in thefts recently, we can also contribute to theft prevention measures. For more details, please feel free to contact us or refer to the related catalog!! 【Key Lock Service】 The Key Lock Service is a keyless padlock system that allows unlocking operations via a dedicated app installed on a smartphone. Unlocking permissions for the padlock can be granted through a web-based management screen, and unlocking is performed via Bluetooth. Furthermore, it digitizes operation records of "when," "which padlock," "who," and "where" it was opened, allowing you to check the unlocking history of all padlocks on the web-based management screen. This can not only manage entry and exit for vacant rooms but also lead to analysis of viewing numbers and decision rates.

We have officially released a new smart padlock with a "lock detection feature." Unlike traditional padlocks and other companies' smart locks, which often lack functionality to prevent "forgetting to lock," this product is equipped with a sensor inside the padlock that detects whether the shackle is down. By using the existing "lock report feature," you can manage locking more rigorously. For more details, please feel free to contact us through the inquiry page below. 【Smart Padlock that Can Be Unlocked with a Smartphone】 The Keyless Lock Service is a keyless padlock system that allows unlocking operations via a dedicated app installed on your smartphone.
