Duvel’s Challenges

Complex Key Management
‍Temporary workers often locked their lockers, making it impossible for administrators to see when units were free and forcing the brewery to maintain extra capacity.

Limited Locker Flexibility
‍The existing system could not easily assign lockers separately to permanent staff and on‑call workers, leading to confusion and inefficiency.

Poor Hygiene & Rust
‍Old metal lockers lacked ventilation and were rusting, compromising hygiene and creating maintenance issues.

Need for Compact Design
‍New facilities demanded locker rooms with small compartments that separated shoes, workwear and personal clothing without sacrificing comfort.

A Smarter Solution

Discovery
‍Duvel consulted Olssen and Keynius to find a hygienic, key‑free locker system that serves both permanent and temporary staff.

Solution & Recommendation
‍They proposed laminated HPL lockers with RFID cards, integrated ventilation, a central display and a mix of full‑height and half‑height units.

Customization & Collaboration
‍After employees tested a mock‑up, architects refined the layout and Olssen completed installation within four months.

Why Keynius
‍Duvel chose Keynius for its compact lockers with overlapping doors, centralized management and card access—all engineered to meet strict hygiene standards.

The Results: Hygienic Lockers and Effortless Allocation

The HPL smart lockers provide hygienic, centrally managed storage with RFID assignment and integrated ventilation. Administrators no longer handle keys or manual allocations, streamlining locker management.

• More than 500 lockers support a diverse workforce with separate compartments for shoes and clothing.
• RFID cards grant instant access and simplify locker assignment.
• Integrated ventilation prevents rust and keeps locker rooms clean.
• Four‑month rollout with employee input ensures high adoption and future‑proof design.
