Industry influencer Q&A: Key and asset management

Traka’s intelligent key and asset management solutions are relevant to a variety of vertical markets and industries.

How does Traka streamline operations, monitor asset usage, and ensure compliance in highly regulated industries like healthcare and government?

Ceravolo: Intelligent key and asset management solutions provide healthcare and government organizations with clear and comprehensive auditing of who has which item, when they checked it out, and why. The solutions can restrict usage to only authorized personnel, which reduces the possibility of keys or assets ending up in the wrong person’s hands. The solutions can notify an administrator when an item hasn’t been returned by a certain time, which cuts down on time spent looking for it.An interesting example of compliance in healthcare involves firearms. Many facilities have regulations in place for when and where hospital police are allowed to possess a firearm and intelligent lockers can track that usage, including through RFID tags on each weapon. Additionally, if a patient is brought into the emergency room with a weapon on their person, that can be stored in a secure, temporary storage locker until the patient has been discharged, which further safeguards against a potentially violent incident.
