SAFESTORE AUTO from Gunnebo Safe Storage is an evolution of the company’s automated deposit locker solution designed in response to evolving global demands for security, flexibility and user-focused innovation.
With more than 2,000 SafeStore Auto systems already operating in 38 countries, Gunnebo Safe Storage’s latest development builds on that proven foundation, introducing critical upgrades across both hardware and the end user experience.
SafeStore Auto enhances the safe deposit experience, blending the latest security features with a refined aesthetic and increased adaptability. Driven by customer insight and industry trends, this development represents a natural progression when it comes to smart safe storage design.
“SafeStore Auto is the end result of us listening to our customers and our partners and an assessment of the changing landscape of smart safe storage,” explained Emmanuel Harir-Forouch, global business development director for Gunnebo Safe Storage. “This isn’t just an upgrade in technology. It’s about refining the way in which people access and manage valuables in a world that expects more flexibility, more transparency and more intelligent design.”
Key enhancements
Key enhancements include a dynamic box configuration (available for the SSA Maxi model) enabling the number and arrangement of deposit boxes to be adjusted with ease. This added flexibility allows installations to be tailored more precisely to customer requirements and reduces the time and materials needed for initial set-up.
Further, the use of steel has been cut by up to 20%, contributing to a lighter and more efficient system that enhances both performance and cost-effectiveness.
The introduction of a high-precision scale system provides real-time weight monitoring of valuables within each deposit box. Integrated with the SafeControl Manager software, this new capability enables operators to implement flexible and transparent charging models based on the actual weight of stored items, thereby supporting a smarter and more customer-focused business approach.
Security has also been further strengthened through the addition of a Supervision Sensor system, which offers real-time monitoring of the safe deposit area.
This system intelligently detects unusual activity – such as the presence of more people than expected – and can automatically trigger a response via SafeControl Manager to halt ongoing transactions and prevent potential threats.
The detection logic can be customised based on individual user routines, ensuring a secure environment that adapts to real-world usage scenarios.
Digital-first world
“With SafeStore Auto,” continued Harir-Forouch, “we’re building on a legacy and setting the standard for the future of secure storage. It’s a platform designed to evolve with user needs in a digital-first world, combining intelligent functionality with a streamlined and modern aesthetic.”
In conclusion, Harir-Forouch noted: “SafeStore Auto reflects our commitment to innovation, sustainability and reliability together with delivering on both performance and design for safe storage solutions that integrate seamlessly into smart building environments.”
