Case Study: Schneider Electric boosts key security and traceability with Keycafe

Modern Key Management for a Smarter Workflow Schneider Electric's Transformation with Keycafe

Schneider Electric's warehouse in L'Isle-d'Espagnac, France, was facing significant security and operational challenges due to an outdated key management system. Their manual lockboxes provided no traceability or access control, creating safety hazards and inefficiencies for the facility's 250 employees. The company needed a more robust solution to secure keys essential for machine operation and personnel safety.

The vendor Keycafe implemented its SmartBox system, which uses unique NFC badges for staff to access only the keys they are permitted to use. This solution provided full traceability and monitoring of all key movements. The results for Schneider Electric included an immediate enhancement of safety standards, the creation of new KPIs for identifying risky usage patterns, and unexpected benefits in operational efficiency and administrative ease.
