Secure key management for critical remote sites
Grant maintenance teams time-limited access to on-site keys. LivionKey reduces unnecessary key retrieval trips and securely manages mechanical keys at critical remote sites.
CHALLENGES
Centralized key handovers slow down remote site maintenance
Physical keys for unmanned remote sites cause unnecessary driving, administrative overhead, and delays during disruptions.
Centralized key handovers
Forcing maintenance technicians to retrieve keys from the central office before every visit causes delays and drives up costs. These expenses accumulate rapidly with a high volume of sites and visits.
Move keys closer to the site
- Deploy key automats directly at or near your remote sites. Technicians can drive straight to the location and retrieve the key using a pre-assigned, time-fenced PIN code.
Long response times during disruptions
When a telecom tower, power substation, or other critical site requires urgent maintenance, retrieving keys from a depot delays repairs and puts strict SLA targets at risk.
Grant instant access remotely
- Administrators can issue a time-fenced PIN code via SMS to the nearest field technician. The technician can instantly access the key on-site without a detour to the central office.
The security risk of unreturned keys
A paper sign-out log cannot tell you in real time who has a key or if it was returned on time. Unreturned keys cause administrative headaches and represent a major security risk at critical sites.
Automated tracking and alerts
- LivionKey tracks every pickup and return in real time. If a key is not returned as scheduled, the system triggers an alert. Every return records a photo, timestamp, and user details.
CUSTOMER STORY
Cellnex Sweden
Access management across 3,000+ telecommunications sites.
Cellnex Sweden required a highly reliable and redundant solution to monitor mechanical keys at their critical sites. LivionKey complements their iLOQ access control, centralizing mechanical key data into one unified platform.
“We wanted a solution to see in real time who has the key and when it will be returned. We needed a secure and reliable integration without additional administrative work, and that is exactly what we got with the Livion and iLOQ solution.”
