In modern logistics, supply chain security is of crucial importance. In view of the increasing security requirements in intra- and extra-logistics, the STUV Group has established itself as a pioneer in securing transport and storage processes. STUV is setting new standards with the innovative PYLOCX system.

The challenges in intra- and extra-logistics

The basic requirement of every logistics process is to transport goods safely from A to B. Protection against unauthorised access during transport is essential, especially for valuable goods. Recent incidents at a listed company, where millions were lost due to stolen precious metals, emphasise the urgency. Security problems such as broken containers, thefts from lorries and losses in distribution centres are also commonplace in extra-logistics.

PYLOCX - the new standard in logistics security

PYLOCX is a VdS-approved and BSI-certified system that securely and efficiently protects all freight from unauthorised access. Only the shipper and the recipient have access to the transported goods. PYLOCX is highly secure, maintenance-free and works without batteries.

Certified and in use tens of thousands of times

PYLOCX is the first and only product to be certified by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) for use in the secure supply chain. Among other things, it is used for the secure transport of smart meter gateways. Over 90% of German energy suppliers and thousands of users use PYLOCX to enable the digitalisation of the German electricity grids.

A system that creates trust

The PYLOCX system is designed to function reliably even under harsh conditions and the influences of extreme temperatures, moisture, vandalism and vibrations that occur during transport do not pose a problem. Additional protective measures prevent tampering with the transport box from going undetected.

The PYLOCX transport locks: As individual as the freight

The PYLOCX range offers the right transport protection for the various transport options:

• PYLOCX - Sky Box: Certified pallet enclosure for valuable or sensitive freight, suitable for warehouses, lorries, sea and air freight.
• PYLOCX - Safety Box: Robust, tamper-proof transport box for documents, valuables and goods, equipped with the VdS-approved PYLOCX lock.
• PYLOCX - Padlock: Vandal-proof and salt-water resistant lock for containers and trailers.
• PYLOCX container lock: Extremely robust, salt water resistant and certified, ideal for sea containers.
• PYLOCX - lorry lock: Special built-in lock for retrofitting in lorry bodies, compatible with Pommier/Furgocar systems.

PYKEY - the key to greater security

Authorisation to open the transport box or container is granted by a one-time code that is assigned by phone, text message, email or smartphone. Conventional card or key management is completely eliminated.

Opening the PYLOCX locking systems is extremely simple. The one-time code is entered on the rechargeable PYKEY and then placed on the contact point to open PYLOCX. Each locking process is documented in the event memory.

Simple integration

The PYLOCX system impresses with its outstanding compatibility with existing access and management systems. Thanks to its flexible architecture, it can be seamlessly integrated into various logistical and security infrastructures. The standardised interfaces enable quick and easy integration into customs management systems, thereby complying with international security standards and speeding up customs processing. In addition, the modular design of the system allows customised adaptation to the specific requirements of the logistics sector.

Efficiency and sustainability

PYLOCX offers significant advantages in terms of efficiency and environmental friendliness. Maintenance-free operation and the absence of batteries reduce operating costs and protect the environment.

Conclusion

The STUV Group impressively demonstrates how technological innovations can revolutionise safety and efficiency in the logistics industry. With the PYLOCX system, they offer a customised solution that meets the highest requirements in terms of tamper protection, vandalism and physical security.
