Various possible combinations
Storage of weapon and ammunition
in two separate compartments
For this purpose, the ammunition is managed in a separate compartment to weapons, equipment and co. The officer usually has access to their entire equipment in a depot 1m or the weapon individually with the self-closing drawer 1m/2. The ammunition is secured in a separate compartment, usually a depot 1m with poly-carbonate front. The separation of weapon and live ammunition increases the level of security and allows access only with the help of the multi-user authentication function.
Storage of weapon and ammunition
within one compartment.
As a second variant, our motorized L-drawer models are mostly used. Depending on the height of the ammunition and other equipment, L-1/3 or L-1/2 sizes are usually used. Here, a foam insert is laser cut to the exact dimensions of your weapon, ammunition box, baton etc.. This provides a comfortable and standardized dispensing experience for the end user.
Storage of weapon and ammunition within one compartment with additional compartment for ammunition.
As a third variant, an extra lockable compartment is integrated inside the ecos drawer, usually for a somewhat higher security requirement. This ammunition compartment can then only be opened with the key managed in our electronic key cabinet. This gives you a two-stage process for securing live ammunition.
Experience shows that the following functions support the efficient and highly secure management of your equipment:
Individual access rights
Each of your agents has their own access rights. This allows them to be uniquely identified by our system and have their actions logged. Access to our systems can be granted by several methods as standard, such as PIN code, RFID card or fingerprint/vein reader. These three methods can not only be used individually, but also in combination with each other. Furthermore, in addition to multi-factor authentication, multi-user authentication is also possible. Thus, highly sensitive material is only accessible when a second person defined by you confirms access.
Immediate alert in case of delay
All our products are connected to our alarm module, which can issue over 50 different alarms. This can be used to monitor late returns: When you set up the object management system, you create schedules, usually your different shifts, which you assign to your officers. If someone is 15 minutes late returning from their shift, the defined supervisor of the group and/or the person receives an alarm.
The alert of a late return can also be configured without a schedule using only a time duration: If X hours after the weapon has been taken out, it has not been returned, the alarm is sent. This can also be done as a mobile push notification.
Intelligent content recognition
With the help of RFID recognition of the weapon and equipment as well as weight recognition of the ammunition, the presence of each object can be recorded. This means that not only is the compartment door opening used as a safeguard, but the actual object to be secured can be declared 100% present. The status is indicated acoustically and visually via RGB LED. Thus, even without software, an overview becomes clear at a glance. This makes it possible to react immediately in the event of a break-in with unauthorized removal. With an integrated alarm relay, the safe room for example can be locked immediately in the event of such an alarm.
Gap dimensions according to military safety standards
In a four-year process, our drawers were subjected to various tests by the Federal Office for Safety.
As a result, our ecos drawer is now so secure with 3mm steel thickness and under 1mm gap dimensions that they are approved for use in the military. Tests such as forcing the opening through a thin object like a sheet of paper have failed.

Immediate reaction to errors through intelligent compartments
In classic safe deposit boxes, the objects are secured by thick metal doors. However, you cannot see from the outside whether the weapon or the equipment is actually still in the compartment.
The intelligent locker systems from ecos show you the current status of each compartment directly on the system and online: The drawers and depots register the removal and return of each object with ID, RFID or weight recognition. An LED on the outside of the compartment door shows you whether the compartment is currently occupied.
The locker system also transmits this data to our ecos webman software. There, as an administrator, you can track every use and the current status of each locker in real time and from any internet-enabled device.
This also makes it possible to immediately send an alarm via web, email or push notification if an individually configured withdrawal period or unauthorized object withdrawals are exceeded.
With the personal access control of the intelligent lockers, it can be precisely determined and also tracked which person opened which locker at what time.
Space-saving design
There is often only limited space in a secured area. Using this properly is important here.
The electronic drawer systems ecos drawer are designed in such a way that the required object slides out of the cabinet. This means that no space has to be wasted for a hand to reach into the drawer to remove the object.
This space-saving design of ecos drawers saves you 50% space compared to the significantly larger ecos depots.

Charging function in all compartments for full readiness of the radios when going on duty
Our depots and drawers can be equipped with an individual charging station. Classic sockets are just as possible here as custom-fit holders for your radio equipment. Depending on your needs, the holders can be mounted horizontally, vertically or at an angle. The power connection in the compartment ensures that your radios are always fully charged on time when you start work.
5V, 12V or 230V possible
The type of power supply in the compartment is also freely selectable. In addition to the classic 12 V charging connection for radios, 5 V or 230 V can also be connected. This means you can also charge other power-operated devices such as mobile phones and laptops in your compartments.
LED display on the outside of the compartment shows the current charging status
All our drawers and lockers have an RGB LED on the outside of the stainless steel front. This always shows whether the corresponding compartment is currently occupied and whether the object in it has already been loaded. Compared to conventional compartments, you can thus see directly on the system at a glance which equipment is currently ready for use.
Combinable with other equipment via ID and RFID recognition
With our modular drawers and depots, you don’t have to decide for each item individually. If you want to manage a key or bunch of keys in the same compartment as your radio, we offer you our ID recognition for key slots. Alternatively, with our multiple RFID recognition, you can also store entire equipment sets in one compartment in a secure and traceable manner. The compartment recognizes up to 4 items with 99.99% certainty and only switches the status LED of the compartment to green when all items have been recognized.

Your additional equipment such as tasers and pepper sprays also needs special protection against unauthorized access. Nevertheless, your staff need to be able to access all their equipment quickly and easily when they come on duty. To make your processes as efficient as possible, our motorized drawers and lockers allow you to manage all your equipment needed for duty in a secure and traceable way, if required.
To ensure that all your equipment is always complete and properly stored,
there are several options available for your locker system:
✓ Storage of single or multiple pieces of equipment in a compartment.
✓ Optionally with weight sensors, ID recognition or RFID recognition
✓ Personalized assignment of all units to specific persons
✓ Multi factor and multi-user authentication

Handwritten – Key book
Keeping only a handwritten key book is the riskiest way to manage your keys. Human errors in particular, e.g. if an employee forgets to sign in, lead to gaps in the security concept here. The keys themselves are also not managed in an access-protected manner.
Automated – Key cabinet with list
In the electronic key cabinet on the right in the picture, the keys are stored safely and clearly. However, on such a small LCD display, working and tracking is cumbersome and time-consuming. The information needed has to be looked up in the ecos webman web software. If only the last officer needs to be called out quickly, this is cumbersome.
