Every radio charged, assigned, and accounted for. Every shift.

A dead radio at the start of a shift is more than an inconvenience — it's a safety risk, an accountability gap, and an avoidable cost. ecos smart radio lockers automate the charge, issue, and return cycle so that every officer, guard, or operator starts their shift with a working radio and a documented chain of custody every time.

Built for environments where radio communications are mission-critical

Two-way radios are operational and safety-critical equipment. In correctional facilities, law enforcement, security operations, and shift-based industrial environments, radio management isn't an administrative convenience — it's a compliance and duty-of-care requirement. ecos radio lockers are purpose-built for these environments.

Correctional facilities and detention centres

In prisons, jails, and detention facilities, radio accountability is a fundamental requirement of safe operations. Staff ratios are tight, radios are life-safety equipment, and every device must be accounted for at all times — especially during lockdowns, shift changes, and emergency responses.

  • Full digital chain of custody: every radio issued, returned, and tracked against a named staff member.
  • Shift change accountability reports give control room supervisors a real-time view of radio status across the facility.
  • Strict return protocols enforce radio recovery at end of shift — a critical requirement in secure environments.
  • Audit-ready transaction logs support incident review, regulatory inspections, and internal governance.
  • Battery backup ensures locker continuity during facility lockdowns or power interruptions.

Law enforcement agencies and sheriff's offices

For police departments and sheriff's offices, radio management is an officer safety and accountability issue. An officer starting a shift with a dead or unassigned radio is an operational and liability risk that ecos eliminates.

  • Officer-level accountability: every radio assignment logged by name, badge number, or biometric.
  • Shift commanders see in real time which radios have been issued and to whom — no manual roll call required.
  • Automated alerts flag radios not returned within the shift window, ensuring nothing leaves the station unaccounted for.
  • Detailed reports support internal affairs reviews, use-of-force investigations, and chain-of-custody requirements.

Corporate security and facilities management

Security teams in large facilities, campuses, and multi-site operations face a quieter version of the same problem: guards clocking in without radios, shared charging bays with no assignment tracking, and no record when equipment goes missing.

  • Individual guard accountability replaces shared charging bays with no record of use.
  • Multi-site deployments can be managed from a single cloud dashboard — no on-site administrator needed.
  • Coverage gap prevention: the system can alert supervisors when a radio is not checked out at the start of a shift.
  • Visitor and contractor radio management: issue temporary radios with time-limited access authorisation.

Warehouse, industrial, and logistics operations

In shift-based warehouse and industrial environments, radios are how supervisors and leads coordinate operations across large floor areas. Managing them informally means mid-shift failures, missing devices, and no accountability trail.

  • Supervisor and team lead radio assignment managed automatically at shift start.
  • Battery management prevents mid-shift failures — smart charging extends device lifespan and flags degrading batteries.
  • Overdue return alerts keep operations accountable without requiring supervisors to chase equipment.

The real cost of poor radio management

Most organisations managing radio fleets are still relying on paper logs, shared charging stations with no assignment tracking, or simply hoping devices come back at the end of a shift. The cost shows up in multiple ways:

  • Staff start shifts with dead or missing radios — a direct safety issue in corrections, law enforcement, and security.
  • When a radio goes missing, there is no chain-of-custody record to establish who last signed it out.
  • Manual checkout logs are incomplete, illegible, or never updated — they do not hold up to inspection or incident review.
  • Supervisors and shift commanders have no real-time visibility into radio status across the shift.
  • Battery replacement is reactive: radios fail mid-shift because nobody tracked charge cycles or battery health.
  • In regulated environments, the absence of a digital audit trail creates compliance exposure.

How ecos radio lockers work

ecos radio lockers store, charge, and manage your entire radio fleet automatically. Each compartment provides power to the radio seated inside and logs every check-in and check-out against an individual user — with no administrator present.

Intelligent charging and battery management

  • Charging cradles in each compartment are compatible with Motorola, Kenwood, Hytera, and other leading radio brands.
  • LED indicators on each door confirm charge status at a glance — staff know immediately which radios are ready.
  • Smart charge management prevents overcharging, protecting battery cells and extending radio lifespan.
  • Battery cycle data is logged over time, enabling proactive replacement before batteries become a shift-safety risk.

Individual-level accountability and chain of custody

  • Every checkout and return is logged against a named individual — via PIN, badge swipe, or biometric authentication.
  • Supervisors and commanders see a live view of which radios are out and who signed for them, from any browser or mobile device.
  • Automated shift reports record who took what, when, and when it was returned — no manual entry required.
  • Overdue return alerts notify supervisors in real time when a radio has not been returned within the expected window.
  • All transaction data is tamper-proof, time-stamped, and stored in ecos webman cloud software.
  • Reports can be exported for audits, regulatory inspections, or incident investigation — and retained according to your organisation's data policy.

Designed for demanding operational environments

ecos radio lockers are built to last in facilities where they will be used around the clock, in challenging physical environments, and with zero tolerance for downtime.

Fast and frictionless shift changeovers

  • Authentication takes seconds — a badge tap, PIN, or fingerprint — so staff are on their way without delay.
  • LED-lit compartments make it immediately clear which radios are charged and available.
  • No administrator needs to be present. The locker manages assignment and logging entirely automatically.

Physical security and durability

  • 3mm steel bodies with under 1mm gap dimensions protect radios between shifts and resist tampering.
  • Dust and debris-resistant construction withstands demanding environments including industrial, outdoor, and high-traffic areas.
  • Battery backup keeps lockers operational for up to 12 hours without mains power. All transaction data is preserved locally and syncs when power returns — critical for facilities with backup power requirements.

Multi-site and enterprise deployment

  • Cloud-based ecos webman software lets you manage radio fleets across multiple locations — facilities, precincts, sites — from a single dashboard.
  • Role-based access controls let shift commanders, security managers, and IT administrators each see the data relevant to their role.
  • Fully modular — add locker columns as your radio fleet or headcount grows, without replacing existing hardware.
  • No complex IT installation required. Systems can be operational in minutes, without a technician on site.
