Strengthening delivery security
October 1st 2006

Brantano has selected Unisto's award-winning, electronic seals to increase the security of its deliveries.

The Crypta 2K seals have been fitted to its fleet, operated by Frans Maas.

Previously, single use plastic seals had been used to seal vehicles between deliveries but it was felt that these were too easy to be circumvented. The new Crypta seals offer the highest level of indicative security backed up by advanced electronics that automatically generate a four-digit, random seal number that is stored in memory. This can be freely checked by pressing a button and, if unchanged, means that the load is still secure as a new number is generated for every closing.

The units are fully sealed to prevent ingress from water, dirt or salt, which can create havoc with mechanically-based sealing systems. The built-in battery is designed to last five years – longer than the average payback period of under four years based on the savings in disposable seal costs.
