Remove
the
pain
of
key
management
for
the
padlocks
on
access
gates
across
your
organisation’s
land
portfolio,
and
eliminate
the
possibility
of
wasted
journeys.
The Knowio solution will ensure employees or contractors will always be able to access any site as they need to do so. The Knowio Anywhere Sensors will protect the organisation by always giving visibility on the status of the gates into each site with real-time alerts if they are opened out of hours.


KNOWIO APP
Manage & get access to all your sites from one app
Revolutionise access to your sites with our padlocks and sensor combination, which will give you a level of control and visibility that was not previously possible.. Watch as the behaviour of staff and contractors changes, frustrations around inability to access locations are removed, illegal logging falls and efficiencies increase.
Control
Control who can access 100s of sites from just one location. Add and remove users in-app, in seconds.
Simplicity
One app, no keys. Make life simpler with a unified access solution and give simple one-off access in seconds.
Knowledge
Logs and real-time notifications give complete transparency as to who accessed which site, and when
Temporary access
Give contractors access to one site at a time, with our easy to create and fully logged One Time Passcodes (OTPs).

Improve your sustainability
Lost keys inevitably end up in perfectly good padlocks being cut off and thrown away, due to the need to quickly gain access.

Stop cutting off locks
Lost keys and people arriving to site without the keys inevitably end up in the obvious solution - get the bolt cutters out. It is estimated that forestry gates go through one padlock every 9 months. With Knowio, cutting off perfectly good locks belongs in the past.

Thwart illegal logging
Our discrete anywhere sensors placed on your gates will alert area managers with an alarm style notification if a gate is opened when it shouldn’t be. You can then organise to get a physical response onto the site before any illegal logging can be completed.

Reduce your liabilities
An open gate is an open invitation to off-road vehicles that should not be on the lands of your organisation. Real-time notifications will tell those responsible if a gate is still open at a certain time or has been opened, so that your organisation can get it closed before someone accepts the invitation, and your exposure increases.

Discrete, robust and long battery lives
With up to 12 months on the padlock and 5 years on the sensor, battery life is not an issue. Battery levels can be seen in the app, so planning to charge the padlocks or replace the batteries in the sensors is simple. The padlocks can be recharged to 80% of their full charge in under an hour with a standard mobile charger.

We needed a scalable, easy to manage access solution for our car parks and stock yards, where the authorised visitor list changes regularly. Knowio is a Godsend from an efficiency perspective.

An open gate is an open invite to criminals. Now we have real-time visibility on lots of critical gates that we previously could only know were closed by doing costly physical checks.

Mick Power
Coillte Forestry
End user behaviour has shifted dramatically since I migrated to Knowio. All users are aware of the complete traceability. Incidents of the gate being left open has now fallen to practically zero.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is forestry access control?
Forestry access control is a digital system that manages who can open gates and access land using Knowio padlocks, Anywhere Sensors and the app/portal, replacing keys and giving real-time visibility of gate status.

2. Why do forestry companies need smart padlocks?
Smart padlocks remove key management and key-cutting, let you issue timed/one-time passcodes to contractors, log every opening and reduce wasted travel — helping protect timber, equipment and remote sites.

3. How does remote forestry site management work?
Managers use the Knowio app and portal to grant/revoke access, view real-time notifications and searchable logs, and monitor many gates from one screen — so you can manage sites without being physically present.

5. Can forestry access control improve sustainability?
Yes. Digital access systems reduce unnecessary trips to remote gates, lowering fuel use and carbon emissions. They also minimize physical key production and replacement. By improving operational efficiency, forestry companies can align security practices with sustainability and environmental goals.

6. How secure are IoT gate security systems for forestry?
Forestry IoT gate systems are highly secure. They use encrypted digital keys, role-based access rights, and compliance monitoring to prevent unauthorized entry. Managers can instantly revoke access, track usage logs, and receive real-time alerts. Compared to traditional locks, IoT systems offer stronger protection for critical forestry assets.
