FiberGate develops a key management system to promote efficiency in on-site operations.
News January 20, 2023: Developed for a construction site of a multi-family dwelling.
◆Reducing On-Site Burden of Key Management FiberGate Inc. (hereinafter referred to as FiberGate) announced on January 16, 2023, that it has jointly developed a key management system with Nishimatsu Construction Co., Ltd. aimed at improving the efficiency of on-site operations. The system, developed for construction sites of multi-family residential buildings, sends key opening and closing information from smart locks on the entrance doors of each unit to an IoT platform via a Wi-Fi router, which is then linked to a cloud-based centralized management service for IoT devices. On-site technicians can check the key opening and closing information through a dedicated application, eliminating issues such as forgetting to lock the keys. ◆Also Contributing to Enhanced Security By implementing this system, on-site technicians will be able to remotely operate the opening and closing of keys. They can perform key operations for specific units, operate keys by floor, and even simultaneously unlock or lock all units. As a result, the need for borrowing and lending keys among on-site workers will be eliminated, and the visualization of key opening and closing information will enhance on-site security. FiberGate will conduct the implementation and verification of this system at its construction sites and consider expanding it across the industry.
