Log+Key hardware
The Log+Key Terminal
Permanently installed right where your keys hang: the wall terminal turns key handovers into a matter of seconds — enter your PIN, scan the NFC tag, done.
In daily use
Key handovers, right where they happen.
Care station, property management, control centre or workshop: keys are handed over where they hang. With the terminal, the documentation happens exactly there — the incoming shift sees at a glance which keys are outstanding and who had them last.
And if the smartphone is closer at hand while on the move: terminal, smartphone and desktop work in parallel on the same data.
What is the terminal?
A device at the key rack — always ready
The Log+Key Terminal is a permanently mounted tablet terminal for the place where your keys are stored. It is installed once and is then available around the clock — for every checkout, every return and every quick look-up, without anyone reaching for their own device.
For this, the terminal runs its own purpose-built interface: reduced to the essentials and made for busy environments — you scan several NFC tags in one go. In parallel, Log+Key keeps running as usual on your smartphone and in the browser.
Built for continuous operation
What the terminal does
-
Sign in with a PIN — or your own NFC tag.
Staff sign in with their PIN, or even faster with their personal NFC tag. Whether an additional PIN is required is up to you to configure.
-
NFC scanning at the key rack.
Hold the NFC tag briefly against the terminal — the checkout or return is documented, with timestamp and name.
-
Register large volumes quickly.
Initial inventory or new additions: at the terminal you register many keys in one go.
-
Always on, always up to date.
Installed once, the terminal runs permanently — Log+Key applies updates automatically.
A strong partnership
Industrial-grade hardware by gekartel
For the terminal we deliberately rely on industrial hardware from our partner gekartel — instead of consumer tablets, which quickly reach their limits in continuous operation. The components are built for 24/7 use, from the battery to the display, and the devices can be administered remotely: we handle updates and maintenance without anyone needing to be on site.
Just as important is what industrial devices leave out — and that's exactly what builds trust: no pre-installed consumer apps, no unannounced system updates destabilising the application.
You can read how the partnership came about in our blog article “The road to the perfect hardware partner” — and from gekartel's perspective in the article “Digitale Schlüsselverwaltung” (German) in their magazine.

Frequently asked questions
Answers about the terminal
-
Do I need a terminal at all?
No. Log+Key runs entirely in the browser — on any smartphone, tablet or desktop. The terminal pays off where many handovers happen in one central place: at the key rack, in the control centre, at reception. Many teams combine both.
