The Seguratainer Mobile App: an NFC Digital Key for Shipping Container Locks

With Seguratainer shipping container locking systems your smartphone is the only key you need!

Look at the video below: it only takes seconds to wake the lock, validate your credentials and get access.

It’s encrypted, fast and personalized.

You can find all information about the Seguratainer Mobile App in our section, How it works.

In short:
- Each digital key is assigned to a person: no anonymous openings.
- Encrypted: this is the same technology used for card and phone touchless payments.
- History: each action is registered into the lock history (accessible from your laptop!).
- Use the smartphone’s GPS to enforce geofencing rules (time sensitive rules can also be applied).

Does this mean that Seguratainer shipping containers locks don’t use traditional keys?
Correct, they do not!

You will save thousands of dollars (and thousands of hours) by not having to worry about traditional keys missing, broken keyholes, or having an ever-increasing amount of keys to keep catalogued and in check.

As the name indicates -NFC: Near Field Communication- you must be in extremely close proximity of the lock in order to open it, hence unintentional remote access or signal theft. Place the phone on the lock and wait for it to wake it.

The steps:
1. Open the Seguratainer mobile app.
2. Place the phone within 1cm from the lock.
3. The app and lock verify the credentials.
4. Open the lock and the doors.
5. Information is sent back to Seguratainer Management Platform.
