Workshops & craft businesses – protection for tools, materials, and processes
Workshops and craft businesses deal with high-quality machines, special tools, and materials on a daily basis. Many businesses operate in a decentralized manner—with field technicians, changing suppliers, and partially open-access work areas. The risk of theft, unauthorized access, or improper use is high.
A well-thought-out security concept ensures order, transparency, and protection – without hindering the workflow.
Access control – clear structures instead of key chaos
Modern access control replaces complicated key lists with a digital system that can be flexibly adapted at any time. Employees receive individual authorizations that are tailored precisely to their work areas: from offices and meeting rooms to sensitive areas such as server rooms or archives. Visitors or external service providers can be given temporary access rights that automatically expire at the end of their appointment.
The big advantage: there is no risk of lost keys or the expensive replacement of entire locking systems. Changes can be made at any time with a single click. In practice, this means, for example, that a new cleaning company only has access during the agreed times, or that an intern automatically loses access after their last day of work.
Safes – secure storage for cash, keys, and documents
Many craft businesses handle cash, valuable tools, or vehicle documents on a daily basis. A robust safe reliably protects these valuables and creates structure at the same time. Smaller models are ideal for offices or cash register areas, while larger versions offer space for toolboxes, equipment, or electronic data carriers.
Professional anchoring ensures that the safe can withstand attempted break-ins. This means that workshops not only meet insurance requirements, but also secure internal processes in the long term.
Alarm systems – comprehensive protection for your business and vehicle fleet
An alarm system effectively protects craft businesses against burglary and vandalism—both inside the workshop and on the premises. Sensors on windows, gates, and doors register every movement and immediately report suspicious activity.
The systems can be flexibly expanded – for example, with smoke or water detectors that cover additional risks. In combination with video surveillance, this creates a comprehensive security concept that protects both buildings and outdoor areas.
Key issuance – organization and control for vehicle and equipment keys
Key management is often a challenge, especially in the skilled trades. Vehicles, machines, and storage rooms require numerous access points, which can easily lead to a loss of overview. Electronic key issuance systems ensure transparency here: every access is documented, and only authorized persons can remove or return keys.
This means that it is possible to track who has used which vehicle or tool at any time – a clear advantage in terms of organization and tracking. At the same time, there is no need for handwritten lists or personal handover.
Video surveillance – monitoring for workshops and yards
In workshops, video surveillance not only serves security purposes, but also ensures the traceability of processes. Cameras at entrances, in warehouses, and in work areas help prevent theft and, if necessary, document events accurately.
Modern systems automatically detect movement, distinguish between people and vehicles, and can trigger targeted notifications in the event of an alarm. This not only provides greater protection, but also makes employees who often work alone or in shifts feel more comfortable.
