Vanma Lock for More Industries

Vanma Lock systems enhance security and streamline operations in the storage & logistics industry and are also applicable across various sectors including telecommunications, power, banking, and logistics.

Challenge

Mechanical keys on 125 silo doors left no access log; every nightly check relied on paper sign-off that was often unreadable or missing, making it impossible to prove who had entered a silo or when.

Solution

Vanma deployed 125 WM-2000C-L40 passive padlocks and 6 K01 offline keys managed by S7.0 software.

  • Keys are pre-loaded with 365-day windows and daily task lists.
  • Every lock/unlock is time-stamped and stored offline; data uploads automatically once per day when the key is docked.
  • Central console can revoke or re-issue rights in seconds.

Outcome

The upgrade has closed the last blind spot in grain-storage security and turned nightly checks into a two-minute digital routine.

Details

Grain reserves are national strategic assets; a single contaminated silo can threaten food safety. Traditional locks rely on paper logs that fade, tear or disappear, leaving no trace of who entered, when, or why. Daxing’s 125-silo site adopted Vanma to digitize, centralize and simplify every door event.

Risk-by-Risk Mitigation

1. Missing Audit Trail
  • Problem: Paper logs were 30 % incomplete, delaying incident investigations.
  • Vanma Fix: AES-128 encrypted logs stored in the key; 100 % event capture once docked.
2. Unauthorized Access
  • Problem: Spare mechanical keys could be copied without trace.
  • Vanma Fix: Rights are software-defined and auto-expire daily; no physical key duplication possible.
3. Inefficient Nightly Checks
  • Problem: Staff spent 20 minutes per silo locating the right key and filling forms.
  • Vanma Fix: One key opens all scheduled doors; checklists upload automatically, cutting prep time by 75 %.

By switching from 125 mechanical padlocks to Vanma’s passive-electronic system, Daxing Grain Reserve has turned every silo door into a digital checkpoint, ensuring both food safety and regulatory compliance.

“Vanma gave us one key that opens every door and a full audit trail without extra paperwork. Daily checks that used to take two hours now finish in twenty minutes, and we finally have iron-clad evidence for any inspection.”
