Boliden Tara Mines

Boliden Tara Mines’ mission is to provide the metals essential to improving society for generations to come. With safety and reliability at the heart of their operations for clients, they chose to reflect the same standards internally. To streamline the management of emergency First Responder keys, Boliden Tara Mines implemented an Electronic Key Cabinet from KeyTracker.

CHALLENGES:

Before implementing a KeyTracker system, Boliden Tara Mines encountered several challenges, including:

• Relying on a manual process to manage all vehicle keys.
• Depending on a single office-based staff member to oversee the check-in and check-out of keys.
• Excessive downtime spent organising and locating keys.

SOLUTION:

To address these issues, Boliden Tara Mines partnered with KeyTracker for an effective key management solution.

• KeyTracker supplied an Electronic Key Cabinet tailored to their needs.
• The mine gained an advanced system that offered improved control and traceability of key usage.
• The system allows authorised staff to access and return keys 24 hours a day.

RESULTS:

The introduction of the Electronic Key Cabinet led to:

• Enhanced control over keys for Emergency First Responder vehicles.
• Clear visibility of which team members accessed which keys.
• Significant time savings for the staff member previously responsible for manual key management.
• A secure, efficient solution that ensures keys remain protected while readily available in emergencies.

TESTIMONIAL:

“I would recommend Keytracker to anyone looking for a solution to managing their keys. We have 3 keys for vehicles with about 20 people who can take them. It cuts down the time for the person who used to manage it completely, probably saving them a few hours a week. It’s very easy to work with and very thorough in follow up.”
