"Key management is a vital tool in ensuring a safe and secure facility, and voice cues make it even easier for the user to incorporate key control into their security programme,” said Fernando Pires, VP Sales and Marketing, Morse Watchmans. "The breadth of innovation in our product portfolio builds on that capability by giving users more exciting and easy to use options for creating an integrated and comprehensive state of the art security system.”

The new Morse Watchmans Keywatcher system uses voice cues to prompt the user to open the door, remove the key, return the key and close the door. While the feature is not currently offered with new systems, it was envisaged that a predicted positive response from show attendees would speed its incorporation into new systems in the future.

Users can select key management solutions for single location applications such as museums or correctional facilities or for multiple site enterprise level installations at university campuses. There’s even a system designed specifically for fleet management applications. Innovative features that make the user experience more exceptional include scheduled reports, automatic email notifications, easier to use on-screen icons, key reservations, mobile capability and checking key ring inventory.
