| Operation of the locks on the door makes the system comfortable and easy to use |
TweeSteden Hospital had no fewer than 1600 lockers. Each employee had access throughout the year to a personal locker with a traditional lock. This had a number of disadvantages: keys disappeared without a trace, there was no insight into use of the lockers and management of them was opaque.
During a major renovation project in the hospital, it became clear that there would no longer be sufficient space available for this cloakroom facility for the nursing staff. The care institution therefore started looking for a different approach: the day locker principle.
TweeSteden Hospital had drawn up a number of specific wishes in advance. One preference was that the new locker system should operate on the basis of the existing staff access card, so that no additional key would be needed. The lockers would have to be of good quality and user friendly, and be able to handle heavy use. Management of the lockers also had to be simple. With these requirements in mind, the hospital eventually selected the locker management system from Nedap.
Reduced Number Of lockers
Using the day locker principle, it was possible to reduce the number of lockers in TweeSteden Hospital from 1600 to 500. The system is not dependent on a PC, and is therefore fully reliable. Operation of the locks on the door makes the system comfortable and easy to use. The locks retain their status even in the event of a power cut. The nursing staff can now safely store their possessions in the lockers.
Intelligent management through the web browser enables the care institution to issue lockers as required. Permanent communication with the locks ensures reliable notification of break-ins and insight into use. This makes intensive key management and replacement of locks a thing of the past. This has enabled the hospital to make major savings in the costs of management and maintenance.
