Wächterkontrollsystem (WKS)
A system that proves patrols and control points were actually completed on time, now using QR or NFC instead of a mechanical time clock.
A Wächterkontrollsystem (WKS), or guard tour system, provides evidence that a patrol was completed as agreed. Historically, this was done with mechanical control clocks into which a key was inserted at each control point. Today, QR or NFC control points perform this function, scanned by the guard with a smartphone.
The benefit is twofold:
- Proof for the client and the insurer that sites were checked completely, with a timestamp for each control point.
- Real-time control: If a scheduled patrol is missed, it is noticed immediately rather than only in the monthly report.
Modern systems connect the WKS with patrol schedules, photographic evidence of defects and a report that the client can view directly. This turns a simple record of checks into an instrument for quality and transparency.
Balerion Security takes care of exactly that.
