Intelligent Key Cabinet (IKC)

The Intelligent Key Cabinet (IKC) from Medeco is a robust and flexible key management system that increases accountability and reduces the risk of misplaced keys. It’s ideal for keys and other assets that require a high level of security and accountability.

A complete storage and control solution, the IKC is an electronically controlled steel cabinet that restricts access to keys, and can only be opened by authorized personnel using PIN, Biometric Fingerprint, or Prox Card authentication (optional). The IKC electronically keeps a record of key removals and returns - by whom and when. Not only does the IKC improve employee efficiency and lower operating costs, it ensures keys never leave the facility by letting you know who has keys and by sending alerts for unreturned keys.

IKC Main Cabinets are available in either 32 or 64 key ports with the option to add on cabinets for storage up to 512 keys.

The IKC comes in three configurations. To learn more about each configuration, click on the links below.

• Mechanical iFob Configuration
• XT Configuration
• Hybrid Configuration

The Mechanical iFob Configuration meets the security needs of any industry or application by securely storing and tracking mechanical keys and other assets.  The Mechanical iFob Configuration uses exclusive iFob tracking technology to enhance accountability, analytics, and asset control for mechanical keys and other assets.

The iFob is a nickel-plated brass device with a unique electronic ID. When it is secured to a key or other assets it enables identification by administration software, and all its activity is recorded.

An essential element of the Medeco XT ecosystem, the IKC XT Configuration seamlessly integrates the benefits of the Medeco XT key system and software while securely storing and charging XT keys. Medeco XT adds security, regulatory compliance, and accountability to virtually every opening in a fast, efficient way. The IKC maintains records of key removals and returns.

The IKC integration with XT Web Manager software provides complete tracking, audit accountability, and electronic access scheduling. This powerful integration allows you to see exactly who removed keys, when keys were removed, which openings were accessed and when, and when the keys were returned. Custom programming of user access rights in the XT software enhances security and simplifies key control by assigning users a single Intelligent Key that gives them access to all the locks they need to open.
