An automated device used by automotive retailers creates and duplicates vehicle keys, including traditional metal keys, transponder keys, and smart keys containing embedded electronics. These devices often include features for cutting key blades, programming transponder chips, and generating remote control functionalities. Modern versions can also integrate with dealership management systems for efficient key tracking and inventory control.
Efficient key creation and duplication are crucial for a smooth sales process, prompt customer service, and enhanced security in the automotive retail environment. Historically, key creation was a more manual and time-consuming process. Modern equipment streamlines this, leading to faster customer turnaround times, reduced manual labor, and increased key security with advanced encryption and coding capabilities. This technological advancement benefits dealerships by improving operational efficiency and enhancing customer satisfaction.
