Unisto Adds New Features To New Look Crypta Data

Unisto Electronic Seals has redesigned its award-winning, Crypta® Data electronic seal to improve the performance and provide the ability to customise features to suit a user’s requirements. The unit automatically generates a four digit random number every time that it is sealed, which remains unchanged until it is opened. The number can be checked, and thereby the security of the load verified, at any time by pressing the display button that illuminates the display, which can be easily read in any lighting conditions. Utilising the plastics expertise of its parent company Unisto Switzerland, Unisto Electronic Seals, formerly Encrypta, has developed a new, glass filled nylon body to replace the original die cast aluminium. The suitability of this material has been proven in the field, having used it on the company’s highly successful Crypta C2K product. Further innovative design features mean that the new Crypta Data II will be superior to the original in both strength and durability, particularly regarding resisting salt attack. “As we further develop our RFID and RF communications capabilities, using a plastic body was essential to both improve product performance and reduce end user costs,” said Mark Hayward, Sales and Marketing Director of Unisto Electronic Seals. The use of flash memory within the new electronics makes the Crypta Data II future proof as new features can be uploaded into the unit to customise its functionality. Additional security features have been included to prevent tampering and an IrDA infrared capability enables data to be downloaded to any IrDA-equipped PDA or laptop for detailed analysis. RF integration in the Crypta Data II Tag version enables the seal to communicate alarms to remote readers located on loading docks, yards, security gates or vehicle cabs. Also being electronic, remote sensors can be easily incorporated so that a multiple access load requires only one securing point. Mark Hayward, added, “The new sleek ‘manta ray’ shape has been designed to be both aesthetically pleasing for the 21 century trucks and be functional in this harsh environment. Crypta Data II provides state of the art, highly reliable sealing and, because it is re-usable, it pays for itself in a short period of time compared with mechanical metal or plastic seals.” About Unisto Founded as Stoffel and Co. in Horn Switzerland, in 1926, Unisto specialises in solutions that guarantee the security and authenticity of products and brands from manufacturing origin to point of sale.
