Automatic Key Identification System

An effective solution to these challenges is the SAIK electronic key cabinet system, which combines secure key storage with controlled access and full tracking of key circulation. SAIK is an acronym for the system developed and successfully implemented by BT Electronics (www.bte.pl) in many institutions and businesses in Poland and abroad. The units are designed and hand-assembled at the company’s premises and are subject to internal production controls to ensure the highest quality and security. The system has been continuously refined, improved and developed over the many years it has been in use. The company also supplies spare parts, ensuring trouble-free and long-term operation.

The base system consists of an electronic key cabinet and dedicated software that records and permanently stores in data base every key withdrawal and return. The administrator – typically an authorised employee of the organisation – grants access rights to specific users and defines the time intervals during which access is allowed. The solution is ideal for customers who cannot or do not want to abandon mechanical keys but struggle with managing and documenting their circulation.

Access authorisation

Each key or item can only be collected by a user with the appropriate access rights. Permissions may be assigned individually or to user groups (e.g., all employees of a specific department). Every person must successfully complete the verification process to collect a key, which in the standard configuration is performed using a contactless ID (e.g., a proximity card). Alternative configurations are available, such as entering an ID/PIN on the control screen or scanning a QR code. Additional authorisation options can be implemented, such as a breathalyser test to verify sobriety before issuing a key to a company vehicle. This ensures that the system always confirms the identity of the person performing the withdrawal or return. All transactions are logged and can be reviewed by the administrator. An alarm may be triggered in the event of an attempt to force open a locker or any other irregular situation.

Full control

The SAIK system provides a modern approach to managing the circulation of keys and other items within an organisation. It ensures full control over access to rooms, documents and valuable objects stored in deposit boxes. The system enables complete identification and monitoring of keys, deposits and users, supports data analysis and allows immediate response to emergency situations detected by the system.

Cabinets synergy nad integration

A key advantage of SAIK cabinets is the ability to combine them into a unified network. Due to ethernet connectivity, devices can work together regardless of whether they are located in the same building or on different continents. This allows the system to scale and adapt to the changing needs of users.

SAIK can also integrate with some popular security systems, including access control, fire alarm systems, burglary alarm systems and CCTV.
