Safe device and safe system
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional safe devices struggle to efficiently manage the input and output of information related to items stored and retrieved from different sides of a financial institution, such as an ATM corner side and a backyard side.
Innovation Solution
A safe device with a housing installed against a wall, featuring a first door and a second door on opposite sides, along with separate operation interfaces for inputting information related to items stored and retrieved, ensuring consistency and accuracy of transactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single operation interface is used for both item storage and retrieval operations, then the device structure is simplified, but information management efficiency deteriorates due to inability to separately track items inserted and removed from different sides
Solution Approach 1:
The operation interface is segmented into two separate interfaces: a first operation interface for inputting information about items to be stored, and a second operation interface for inputting information about items to be removed. This segmentation allows independent tracking and management of storage and retrieval operations, improving information management efficiency while maintaining clear operational workflows.
2Device complexity
If manual loading and unloading of inner boxes is performed from the front side only, then the device structure is simplified, but labor requirements increase and operational efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The loading and unloading function is segmented into two access points: the front side for manual operations and the rear side for automated operations. This allows simultaneous human intervention and automated processing, improving operational efficiency without requiring complex restructuring of the entire device.
Solution Approach 2:
The rear side opening acts as an intermediary interface between external automated loading/unloading devices and the internal storage spaces. This intermediary structure enables automated machines to access and manipulate inner boxes without requiring front-side door operations, thereby improving throughput and reducing manual labor.
3Device complexity
If information input for item storage and retrieval is consolidated into one interface, then the device structure is simpler, but accuracy of information tracking deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The information input system is segmented into separate input channels: the first operation interface exclusively for storage information and the second operation interface exclusively for retrieval information. This segregation eliminates cross-contamination of data streams, ensuring accurate tracking of what items are stored versus what items are removed, which is critical for inventory management and auditing.

AI summary
A safe device comprises a housing, a first door, a second door, a first operation interface and a second operating interface. The housing is installed in contact with a wall of a facility, the housing and the wall separating a first area of the facility from a second area of the facility. The first door is on a first surface of the housing and facing the first area, the second door is on a second surface of the housing and facing the second area. The first operation interface faces the first area and operated to input first information related to an item inserted into the safe device through the first door. The second operation interface faces the second area and operated to input second information related to an item to be removed from the safe device through the second door.
