An extra layer of security
The weakest link in the security architecture of logistic operations often is the person who holds the physical key to the cargo door – the driver.
Airlok changes that. Our tamper-resistant electronic lock requires a second factor of authentication before the cargo doors can be opened. The second factor could be an automated GPS location check or a manual approval by your company’s Control Room.
Defense in depth
The Airlok system introduces additional layers of defense to minimise theft and loss in the transport and logistics industries.
Robust construction
The Airlok device is a robust, weather-proof, sealed unit that attaches to the outside of the cargo doors. When it is fitted, it is paired with the vehicle on the back-office system. After fitment, the unit requires minimal maintenance.
Secure design
The unit is extremely tamper-resistant and reports breach attempts to the back-office system. The back-office system implements bank-level security and encryption mechanisms to defend against malicious actors and to ensure 24/7 uptime. The software is hosted in 3 South African data centers for high-availability and disaster-recovery purposes.
Segregation of duties
The driver no longer acts on his own when unlocking the freight doors. The control room operator acts as a second approver after validating that the truck is at the authorised location of the receiver. Authorised locations can also be set up in advance so that the back-office system can auto-approve the driver’s unlock request when the truck is at the correct GPS location.
Management reporting
Loss Control Officers have access to a wealth of information, from detailed audit trails, to trend analysis on each vehicle, route or control room operator. The reports are used to find anomalies in door opening behaviour across the fleet.
Proven technology company
The Airlok system is powered by Polygon Technologies, a company that has a proven track record of more than 25 years in South Africa and abroad.
