Intelligent 26-Key Management | PIN, Biometric & RFID Access | Full Key Accountability The Burton iKMS Intelligent Key Management System provides secure, intelligent control over important and critical keys, allowing businesses to manage who can access each key, when it can be removed and when it is returned. With capacity for 26 individually controlled keys, the iKMS combines secure physical storage with advanced RFID technology, user authentication and comprehensive reporting. Users can be authorised using PIN code, fingerprint, facial recognition or RFID card, while administrators can establish individual access permissions for specific keys. Ideal for hotels, car dealerships, property management, government organisations, healthcare, education, sports venues and commercial sites where controlling and auditing key access is essential. Intelligent 26-Key Management Unlike a conventional key cabinet, the iKMS actively manages access to each individual key. Each key is attached to an intelligent RFID key tag and assigned to a specific position within the cabinet. Administrators can create rules determining which users are authorised to remove particular keys, providing significantly greater control than simply allowing access to an entire key cabinet. The system also provides a live indication of which keys are present and which have been removed. Multiple User Authentication Options The iKMS provides a choice of advanced access methods: PIN code Fingerprint recognition Facial recognition RFID user card Authentication methods can also be combined where additional access security is required. This flexibility allows the system to be configured around the security policies and working practices of individual organisations. 7-Inch Colour Touchscreen A built-in 7-inch full-colour touchscreen provides an intuitive interface for everyday operation and administration. The software is integrated directly into the cabinet's Android-based system, creating a straightforward plug-and-play solution without requiring dedicated software to be installed on individual workplace computers. Complete Key Audit Trail The iKMS helps businesses maintain accountability for important keys by recording key movements and user activity. Administrators can identify who accessed a key and monitor whether keys are currently present or absent. Reports can be exported by USB or email, providing useful records for management, security reviews and internal auditing. Standalone or Cloud Managed The Burton iKMS can operate as a standalone key-management system, making it suitable for businesses that simply require intelligent control at a single location. For organisations requiring more advanced management, an optional web and cloud-based solution provides remote monitoring and control. Multiple cabinets can be linked to a single account, allowing common users or site-specific users to be managed across different locations. This makes the system particularly attractive to organisations operating multiple branches, buildings or regional sites. Customisable Access Control The iKMS can be configured around the requirements of the organisation. Administrators can: Name and identify individual keys Authorise particular users for specific keys Establish rules governing key access Monitor the live status of keys Maintain records of key usage Manage common or site-specific users Export management reports Remotely manage multiple cabinets with the optional cloud solution This provides much greater control over valuable or security-sensitive keys than a conventional locked cabinet. Replaceable Key Modules The individual key slots use replaceable modules, helping make the system maintainable over its working life. When a key is returned, its RFID key tag identifies the correct location within the cabinet, helping users return keys to the appropriate controlled position. SafeFort Recommendation The Burton iKMS is the natural choice when an organisation needs more than somewhere secure to store its keys. While a conventional key cabinet controls access to the cabinet as a whole, the iKMS provides individual control and accountability for each key. This makes it particularly valuable where keys provide access to vehicles, properties, restricted areas, plant, equipment or other business-critical assets. For smaller businesses simply wanting organised electronic key storage, the Burton KG Keyguard provides a more economical solution. Where stronger physical cabinet construction is the priority, the Burton Heavy Duty Key Cabinet is an excellent alternative. However, where the requirement is to know who has taken a particular key, control who is authorised to take it and maintain an audit trail of its use, the Burton iKMS provides a significantly more sophisticated key-management solution. For organisations considering multiple cabinets, remote management or integration across several locations, please contact SafeFort to discuss the required configuration and available cloud-management options.
