About KeyMAS
Our mission is to bring security, efficiency, and professionalism to key management through smart, scalable technology.
Origin of the Idea
This concept was conceived from firsthand experience in the field. As a Computer Engineer, I moved from California to Oregon after spending 16.1 years at Schneider Electric as a Manufacturing Engineer. When the company moved operations to Mexico, I was forced to pivot and take on a role as a Maintenance Technician.
During this time, I saw recurring inefficiencies in daily operations—particularly around key management. The process was often disorganized and prone to error. Motivated to improve this, I began developing a solution using my engineering background and AI tools. The result is a three-tier integrated system designed to help organizations project professionalism, stay organized, reduce operational time, and ensure traceability and ease in key reproduction.
The Three Tiers of KeyMAS Key Management System
1 Awareness Tier
This foundational level relies on a disciplined team and a trust-based system. The software records every transaction, providing a digital trail of key handling activities. However, it requires personnel to accurately log inputs that reflect real-world actions.
2 Automation Tier
This tier introduces a fully integrated key dispensing machine connected to the KeyMAS system. It ensures that only authorized personnel can access keys. When returning keys, the system automatically places them in their designated location, significantly reducing human error.
3 Validation Tier
The highest level of security and organization. It incorporates a vision system that validates each key during the return process. The system compares the keys pattern against the previously recorded image. If it matches, the key is accepted and stored correctly. If not, the system halts the process and alerts the user, preventing incorrect key placement.
