Now, by simply inserting a key into the SmartKey Reader, new keys can be added to the system, keys can be deleted, or location information from existing keys can be instantly read, making it even more convenient to manage keys.

"Morse Watchmans pioneered automated key control systems that eliminate the need for manual storing, logging and tracking of key access and usage and now we have taken the technology even further by automating key additions and deletions as well as  location status," said Fernando Pires, VP Sales and Marketing, Morse Watchmans. "With this device, errors can be reduced, efficiencies improved and most importantly, security can be enhanced."

In addition to the KeyWatcher Touch system, the Reader is also compatible with the KeyBank Touch Auto v1.7, available in Spring, 2015. With the updated version, users can enter vehicle information including year, make, model, sub-model, color and fuel type when adding a key in addition to the delete and key location functions.
