Effective Locking Systems For Vending Machines

As the vending industry moves forward, so do the quality and strength of its security measures. The security options available 10 years ago were basically designed to prevent forced entry. With the use of technology, the capabilities that high security locks provide have changed.

Planet Antares vending machines have started using electronic locks that will provide the same level of security as their mechanical counterparts. In addition to this, they will also have the ability to control and track access of every machine.

In an industry where trade loss continues to increase, internal suspicions are becoming more prevelant. A reason for this is the continued trade loss inspite of the decline in external break-ins.

As a Planet Antares vending operator, you may consider a jump from a mechanical lock to an electronic locking system as cumbersome. In the vending business, it doesn’t make sense to be continously looking at audit reports.

The system is more convenient for drivers and service technicians since they only carry one key. The locks are programmed to accept the key. The keys are programmed to function at specific times of the day and specific days in the week. These also have an expiration date and after that, will only function when they are reprogrammed.

When a theft occurs, a Planet Antares vending operator can end up feeling helpless as there is no immidiate solution. An electronic lock system will help to preempt these situations. In the end, the system will provide a more efficient way to monitor route activity. Now, you will know the reasons due to which a route driver is unable to finish his route on time.

Daily operations can be simplified and made more effective with the help of electronic locks that can program keys and run audit reports whenever a shortage appears. This can be a quick way to find out why the shortahes have been incurred.

An effective locking system will not only provide the ability to audit every opening of the lock but also every attempted opening.
