Strengthen the Safety Management of the Kitchen
As Massachusetts’ largest soup kitchen on the North Shore, it has served more than 5 million meals to the hungry. But in reality, the soup kitchen consists of just two full-time employees and a handful of volunteers. The soup kitchen itself has an analog video surveillance system, but it may stop at any time. In order to ensure that the normal operation of the organization can be guaranteed even when the monitoring system is stopped, the executive director is committed to finding a better solution.
Problems encountered and solutions:
- As a kitchen, the most feared accident is poisoning. Although the soup kitchen has never had similar problems before, as a director, I have to take precautions and take precautions. The best way to solve this is to control key areas and prevent irrelevant personnel from entering. In addition, it is very necessary to record the people entering and leaving. When a problem occurs, it is convenient to troubleshoot.
Vanma smart lock has a lock record function. The executive director can view the lock records through the smart lock software. When there is a problem, the corresponding employee can be found according to the switch lock record, and the responsibility can be investigated.
- Authorization classification. There are four identities involved in the soup kitchen: full-time employees, volunteers, service providers, and suppliers. Full-time employees have the most authority, and they can enter and leave any premises at will. Different volunteers have different divisions of labor and different areas that they can enter. So do service providers, but the difference between service providers and volunteers is that they need to leave before customers arrive. Suppliers mainly refer to food suppliers, who will supply the food of the day every morning.
Vanma smart locks have flexible authorization functions. Not only which lock to unlock but also the time period for unlocking can be authorized. For example, suppliers can only have access until six in the morning.
- The key is lost. This is not an extraordinary thing, rather, it is very common. The key may be lost due to an accident, or it may be lost due to a sudden loss of contact by a volunteer. If other access control systems are used, what the administrator needs to do at this time is to replace the original lock and reassign the key to the corresponding person. Not only does this add to the cost, but it also creates a clutter of keys.
With the Vanma smart lock, you won’t have to worry. The administrator simply blacklists the lost key and “tells” all the locks with a blank key, so that the lost key will not be able to open any locks.
“Because we are understaffed, we will rely heavily on new technology to keep our volunteers, service providers and customers safe. We can issue different permissions for different identities. The Vanma smart lock fundamentally eliminates the possibility of mistaken entry and greatly improves people’s safety. “
