smaRTE Stock

smaRTE Stock
 
RFID-based stock accuracy, tracking, and tracing
Stock is the "lifeblood" asset of many industries. It's what generates revenue, but also incurs substantial operational costs and risks in the process of storing and moving it through the supply chain before it is sold.  Optimal stock management is key to not only minimising these operational costs and risks but also to maximising the sales and overall client experience.
 
Our smaRTE Stock solution is powered by RFID. FLEX Digital is the leader when it comes to employing RFID technology to optimise your stock accuracy, while also enabling efficient tracking and tracing as it moves through the supply chain.

smaRTE Assets

 

Real-time, digital tracking, and monitoring of your operational assets

Many organisations are heavily invested in physical assets that are used in the operational environment to generate their revenue.

Examples 

  • ​Buildings

  • Manufacturing plants

  • Operational equipment

  • Vehicles

  • Tools

  • People

smaRTE Keys

smaRTE Keys

 

Key access control, tracking, and auditability

Many businesses have critical assets that require physical keys to access them.

 

Examples

  • Vehicles

  • Machinery

  • Stock rooms

  • Chemical rooms

  • Plant rooms

  • Remote depots and sites.

 

If these keys are not managed properly, this creates numerous challenges and risks to the business.

Access to specific keys at specific times

Ensuring only authorised people have access to specific keys at specific times means that there is accountability, auditability, and security of the assets that the keys are protecting. In this way, you can protect and maximise the return on your assets that are critical to the success of your operations.

Smart key management

FLEX Digital is a market leader in smart key management, using a combination of innovative, digital technologies. We provide both intelligent key cabinet solutions and key management rooms to assist you with better management of your critical keys.

Preventing Operational Technology (OT) cyberattacks

Up until recently, most cyberattacks have been focused on accessing data within the IT environment through various means and for various reasons. The OT environment has tended to remain separate from the IT environment - even employing independent communication infrastructure that focuses on local interaction between machines and the engineers that are operating them.

 

Convergence of IT and OT environments

There has been a drastic shift recently towards merging IT with OT, as the OT equipment becomes more intelligent and connected. This brings with it a major security risk to the business that traditional IT CyberSecurity solutions are not designed for. Even though IT systems are "air-gapped" and "ring-fenced" with firewalls etc, OT systems are now bridging this gap to IT and this creates vulnerabilities to both the IT environment and, even more concerningly, to the OT environment. If hackers can gain unauthorised access to certain OT equipment, this will not only result in loss of data and privacy, but major risks to production, company credibility, loss of income, and even human lives.

Our revolutionary OT Cybersecurity solution

FLEX Digital offers a proudly South African, revolutionary smaRTE Splice solution that is one of only four in the world that employs Artificial Intelligence. smaRTE Splice not only detects OT cyber attacks but also prevents them in real-time.

 

smaRTE Secure

Asset Early-Warning System
Real-time, 24/7/365 automated monitoring of any asset, both indoors and outdoors, to detect an attempt to vandalise or steal it. Automated alerts can be sent directly to you, your security team, and even your armed response company, so that the appropriate action can be taken immediately while the asset is being compromised.

Microdots
uniquely identify all your high-value, high-risk assets by spraying microdots onto them. These assets can then be traced back to you in the event of the recovery of a stolen asset, along with prosecuting those involved.

Ai-driven, facial recognition access control
A proudly South African, revolutionary access control solution that employs Artificial Intelligence (AI) to seamlessly and automatically manage the access of staff, contractors, and visitors to your business's premises, as well as critical areas within your building.
