Seguratainer Container Locks in 2023: Recap and THANK YOU!

As this 2023 comes to an end, it’s time to say THANK YOU all!

This year we broke all records of incoming contacts.
We have now deployed locks in almost all continents -not in Antarctica yet!
Thank you!

We are proud to help secure the containers and trucks of companies in various sectors: shipping (good in transit), warehouse and storage, self-storage facilities and even some surprising container uses!

This year we have launched new locks and improved existing models.
Notably:

  • Claw 2.0: a 2-locking point claw, the small sibling of the Claw 4.0. Read more about the Claw 2.0 Lock

  • Lock Box Lock: the smart evolution of lock boxes, lock and protective casing, all-in-one. Read more here about the Lock Box Lox.

  • And more… some of which we will announce in Q1 2024!

Our team has also improved all the functionalities in the remote access control platform. You can manage all the locks and keys from your laptop and you get a 24/7 audit trail of each lock and key action. No more anonymous openings. You always know the “who, when and where”.

Additionally, we have improved certain features of both our geofencing and time rules, making it even easier to restrict the opening times of the locks and validity of keys. Do you want a lock to only be open at your warehouse? Done. Do you want a lock to only be opened between 2 and 3pm? Done. You are in control, and all done remotely.

Our smartphone-as-a-key has also evolved this year, with even bigger news coming in 2024… For now, you can authorize smartphones to act as a key and control all their access rights from your laptop.

We use NFC to validate the smartphone credentials: touchless, heavily encrypted and does not require data to work, making it the perfect solution for remote areas with no data coverage.  

Interesting cases? Many! We particularly enjoyed the case of “the container that had no keys”. As in: no keys at all. How is that possible? The lock was installed but the client did not want to have any keys assigned for that container… until the delivery was made and the payment done in full! Then, the key was issued -in takes a few seconds- and the doors were successfully opened. Smart!

Finally, we have improved our battery performance. Are you living in extreme cold weather? Or are you planning to leave your container unattended for months? No problem: the locks go through minimal battery drainage even during long inactive times or harsh weather -the person writing these lines is based in Finland…- making it a reliable locking system no matter what.

Unfortunately, statistics still show there is a lot of work to do in cargo theft prevention, so we after a few days of family-time during this end of the year, we will come back even stronger in 2024.

In the meantime, if you wish to revisit some of our most popular articles of this year:

And remember: we started the year celebrating how 2 Seguratainer Claw locks prevented the theft worth of 465.000USD!

We only have one wish for 2024: let’s keep working together to keep your cargo safe and give you all the tools you need to manage containers, trucks and digital keys remotely.
