Traka

Traka’s nickel-plated cylinder iFob units, with keys attached, lock into receptor strips within a key cabinet. Advanced applications involve the iFob unit becoming a key in itself which can discriminate between staff members and determine if they have sufficient privileges to use a piece of equipment, start a vehicle or enter a controlled area etc. iFobs are used in this way by TescoTesco at their logistic centres including Hinckley, Leicestershire, and at mines for Sasol in South Africa where the associated databases can be used to enforce regulations regarding hours of work in hazardous areas and validity of training certificates. In 2014, Traka key cabinets were installed at the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing site in Cumbria, England, and Saint Paul Regional Water Services, Minnesota, USA.

Principal contract awards for Traka have been supplying the Ministry of Justice (United Kingdom) with fingerprint key management systems to replace manual dispensing of prison keys and provision of key management systems to the Metropolitan Police Service’s Royalty Protection Squad. Recent projects include key management systems at BT GroupBT Group’s International Data Centre in Cardiff.
