Transportation is vital to critical infrastructure and many major corporations, to keep the wheels of the global economy turning. Any break or interruption to this service caused by internal and external theft in the supply chain can cause a costly loss of revenue, a breach in health and safety, customer dissatisfaction and a ruined reputation. 

Containers need to remain unopened during transport to secure the goods against contamination, plus the large number of vehicles in the logistics industry means there are many vehicles and areas that need to be secured, but also accessible at all times, day and night.

Ensuring security in the transportation and logistics sector is especially challenging, as the landscape is changing at the same pace as technological developments advance.

Key control, traceability of key use and remotely controlled, accurate access rights have become vital, and Abloy provides security solutions for transport environments, including smart locks for transport and logistics and trailer security.

Abloy’s digital, electromechanical and mechanical solutions offer security and access control for the entire transportation ecosystem - including road, maritime, railway and aviation transport providers.
