Industries

The high-speed rail industry is known for being high-density, high-speed, with both sides of the line built in compliance with the standard-set protective closure fence. Acting as a special facility channel and for equipment maintenance purposes, the fence gate has been an important link in the safety management of high-speed rail operation due to its frequent use and cross-department management. The traditional mechanical padlock can only achieve the basic opening and closing function, and cannot effectively control the irregularities such as the entry of operators during the non- maintenance period, and there are safety hazards, too.

HIZIMA's custom-developed intelligent lock solution for high-speed rail fence gates seamlessly fits the industry's operation and maintenance management norms and operational processes during the maintenance period through a complex security hierarchy design, ensuring that authorized operators can only enter the designated operational area during the maintenance period and leave from the designated exit before the end, avoiding life-threatening and line paralysis accidents that may be caused by non-compliant operations and maximizing the safety of operators and the safe and efficient operation of the high-speed rail.

Benefits

Unified Management

Inspection and maintenance departments are integrated and managed in the system; unified scheduling, effective management of all kinds of personnel in and out of the work area.

Remote Authorization

Lock/key distribution management, system-wide virtual authorization to unlock, improved efficiency of on-site fence gate unlocking and emergency response speed.

Security

Time slots are authorized on a role-basis, eliminating unauthorized access and adding a security safeguard to the fence gate.

Real-time Control

Real-time monitoring the opening and closing time of each fence gate along the high-speed railway, provides access to personnel and operational content, timely detection and handling of abnormal situations.

Traceable Record History

Complete audit log offering an important objective basis for dealing with abnormal conditions in a timely manner and clarifying safety responsibilities in the aftermath.

Customer success story

N High-spead rail company owns 7 high-speed rail lines in China with nearly 2,000 km of operational distance.

This client uses traditional access control system that causes disconnection between management and site operators. There have also been safety accidents caused by this, resulting in operators being collided with trains that are passing through. It was expected that the smart lock solution would ensure operational safety and reduce the occurrence of safety accidents.

Pain points

Long operation line and difficulties with managing access control for fence gates.

Time-consuming and costly for operators to pick up and return keys, plus problems with early issuance and delayed return of keys.

Single access-control mode increases the chance of managerial errors, especially when multiple departments have the need to access the same door, at the risk of operators being locked inside the fence.

Impossible to grasp the opening and closing records of each fence gate along the route in real time, and abnormal conditions cannot be detected and therefore handled in a timely manner.

Requirements

Unified scheduling and management of job access between different departments in one system.

Easy monitoring of operations along the high-speed rail line during the maintenance period to ensure safe and orderly.

Maintain complete records for job traceability and efficiency optimization.

Reduce total operational costs.

Solution
The HIZIMA team developed a custom smart access control solution of high-speed
rail fence gates based on their current flows and business requirements,
combined with HZIMA smart lock system.

Pre-empowerment for different user roles based on system management of all fence doors, locks, and users in each department.

According to the role of the logged-in user, the user is provided with remote system management and maintenance, control of fence gate access (including application for opening, review of opening, approval of opening, locking confirmation) , job information inquiry and many other functions.

After the operation application is reviewed, the access approver finally confirms the operation time according to the scheduling order, and the operator can only enter and exit the designated fence gate within the maintenance period.

According to the role of the logged-in user, the user is provided with access control of fence gate access (including application for opening, review of opening, approval of opening, unlocking, locking confirmation) , job information inquiry, real-time data/ record synchronization and other functions.

Smart padlock.
