Overall, I think that this year's ASIAL exhibition was pretty good. At AST, we had quite a number of visitors and got some good leads. The show was well attended and it was good to catch up with a number of people in the industry.

Stand out in our stand was KeyWatcher® from Morse Watchmans. A number of visitors who already had high end security and buildng management systems were quite impressed with the ability of KeyWatcher to be integrated into an existing system, without having to invest in new equipment.

With KW Exchange, our Australian-developed software, the addition of KeyWatcher to an existing system is seamless. And, what's even more important is that any even involving KeyWatcher cabinet becomes just another event highlighted in a user's existing system.

There's no need to install a separate monitoring system. And, of course, the need to re-familiarise and retrain on a new system is not required.

Keeping track of keys, one should not forget the need for these to be tagged. KeyRings® from Morse Watchmans is a great key ring.

Featuring a tamper-proof locking mechanism and a unique identification system, KeyRings are easy to setup. And, it makes key replacement easy. Normally, to do this, one would have to destroy the key ring. This is the most expensive part of the key ring and with frequent key replacement, costs can add up.
 
KeyRings allows the user to re-use the key ring, after each replacement. All that is required is to replace the much cheaper hub. Each hub is colour-coded and stamped with a unique serial number, to help detect and prevent tampering.

As well, KeyRings do away with  older-type welded and crimped rings, saving the user the cost of a new ring everytime a key needs to be replaced.

These features impressed a lot of our visitors. Since key replacement can occur often, the costs involved can be staggering.

Until my next post.
