Background
Irish Oxygen, a Cork-based company, recently completed an access upgrade to enhance security and improve control over their premises.
With multiple entry points — including a warehouse roller shutter door requiring key access — the business was looking for a smarter, more secure way to manage access while reducing the risks associated with traditional key handling.
The Challenge
Before the upgrade, access management presented several challenges:
Physical keys in circulation
Concerns about lost or unreturned keys
No digital visibility over who accessed certain areas
Limited ability to instantly adjust or revoke access
A roller shutter warehouse door that relied on a traditional key
The roller shutter door, in particular, required a solution that would allow secure and trackable access without changing the existing door structure.
The Solution Provided
To address these challenges, a comprehensive smart access system was put in place across the premises.
🚪 Five Waterproof Slim S210 Smart Locks
Across key entry points, the business upgraded to five waterproof Slim S210 smart locks, creating a secure and fully managed access system.
The system now provides:
Individual PIN codes for each staff member
Digital access records
Real-time notifications
Instant ability to grant or revoke access
Weather-resistant durability for external doors
This upgrade significantly improved day-to-day access control and eliminated the need for traditional key management across most entry points.
🔐 Smart Solution for the Roller Shutter Door
As the warehouse roller shutter door was not suitable for direct smart lock integration, a Smart Key Box solution was introduced to securely manage the existing key.
This ensured:
Controlled PIN-based key access
Full digital tracking
Clear visibility over warehouse entry
By implementing this approach, secure and trackable access was achieved without altering the existing door structure.
Together with the Slim S210 smart locks, this created a fully integrated smart access system across all critical access points.
Before
Manual key management
No access visibility
Limited control
Ongoing key risk
After
Fully integrated smart access system
Individual PIN credentials
Real-time access records
Secure and trackable key management
Instant access control
Overall Experience
The transition to a smart access system has been extremely positive, with staff quickly adapting to the upgraded solution.
