A Prototype of Automated Vault Locker Solution for Industrial Application

Abstract

In this paper, an enhanced security solution is proposed for industry grade safety vault system. Electronic security and safety have been offering robust mechanism for implementation in ensuring proper shelter of key documents and goods in offices, banks, institutions, libraries, laboratories etc. Development of various sensors have enabled systems to have preventive and corrective measures in this regard significantly. In order to deliver a concrete security solution for critically important and confidential documents and goods, we proposed an Automated Safety Vault with Double Layered Defense Mechanism. The solution comprised of an Electronic Lock driven by password verification and a Biometric authentication for users using a Fingerprint scanning and sensing tool. Both of these two layers ensured the authenticity of the user by preventing any unauthorized access to the Vault. Moreover, actions of PIR and LDR sensors would also safeguard the vault from any breakout access other than the double layered defenses by being positioned within the periphery of the vault. The system was then implemented in a prototype scope for testing and validation of the proposals. The implemented system and testing data showed that the Automated Safety Vault with all its security features had successful operation. The specification of the whole system as well as the results are documented in this paper.
