Sensitive details stay out of photos
Machinery, tooling details, layouts, and workflows are less likely to leave the site on a visitor’s camera roll.
Pouches · Factory tours
Visitors on the floor. Cameras stay covered.
Factory tours, delegation visits, and R&D showcases. The Camera Pouch keeps visitors reachable while physically blocking the front and rear cameras.
Why go phone-free
A single photo can reveal more than visitors realize.
Production layouts, tooling details, and prototypes can reveal valuable information. LOKD Pouches turn a no-photo policy into a consistent process at reception, without requiring staff to monitor every visitor throughout the tour.
What your site gains
Four benefits for every tour.
Visitors stay reachable
The Camera Pouch blocks the front and rear cameras while calls, messages, and other phone functions remain available.
One process for every visitor group
Press visits, delegations, family days, and contractors follow the same clear process at reception.
Fewer interventions during the tour
The camera policy is handled once at reception instead of being enforced through repeated reminders on the factory floor.
Where unrestricted camera use creates risk
What uncontrolled cameras can expose.
The risk is often ordinary phone use rather than deliberate espionage: visitors take pictures without realizing what may be visible in the background.
- 01 Risk A verbal no-photo reminder at reception is forgotten once the tour is underway.
- 02 Risk Delegation members documenting the visit without noticing sensitive layouts or processes in the frame.
- 03 Risk Approved press photography expanding beyond the agreed subjects or designated areas.
- 04 Risk Contractors or service partners capturing details unrelated to the purpose of their visit.
- 05 Risk Family-day photos unintentionally including prototypes, screens, documents, or restricted areas.
How a tour runs
Five steps from arrival to exit.
We define the process with your visitor-management team once, so it can be repeated consistently for every tour.
-
1
Communicate it with the tour confirmation
Visitors know before arrival that they may keep using their phones, while the front and rear cameras will be covered inside the pouch.
-
2
Secure phones at reception
Visitors place their own phones into Camera Pouches at reception. No central phone collection or device handover is required.
-
3
The tour begins
Front and rear cameras remain physically covered, while calls, messages, and other phone functions stay available.
-
4
Optional: full lock for sensitive areas
For areas where no phone access or connectivity is permitted, use the signal-blocking Standard Pouch instead of the Camera Pouch.
-
5
Unlock at the exit
A LOKD Opener at the designated exit unlocks each pouch before visitors leave the controlled area.
Why not something else
How LOKD compares with common alternatives.
“No photos” signs and reminders
Easy to overlook and difficult to enforce consistently once the group is moving through the site.
Confiscate phones at reception
The site becomes responsible for storing and returning every device, creating security, liability, and collection challenges.
Security escort on the floor
Staff can supervise behavior, but they cannot monitor every phone and every camera angle throughout the tour.
Cover the sensitive machinery
Time-consuming, disruptive, and unable to prevent wider views of the surrounding layout.
LOKD Pouches
Visitors keep their own phones. Front and rear cameras are physically blocked, while calls and messages remain available. The same process can be used for every tour.
Where factories use it
Three visitor groups, one consistent process.
Manufacturing plants & R&D facilities
For customer visits, audits, and delegations in facilities where layouts, processes, prototypes, or R&D work require protection.
Delegation and press visits
For government delegations, trade media, and industry associations that need access without unrestricted photography.
Family days & customer tours
For family days, showroom tours, and VIP customer visits where guests should feel welcome without unrestricted camera access.
Quick answers
The questions we hear most.
Camera Pouch or Standard Pouch for a plant tour?
The Camera Pouch is suitable when visitors should remain reachable but must not take photos or videos. Use the signal-blocking Standard Pouch where phone access and connectivity must also be restricted.
What about employees' own phones on the floor?
This setup is designed for visitors. Employee phone use can continue to follow your existing workplace policies or be included in a separate deployment if needed.
Do we buy a dedicated set or rent per tour?
Purchasing usually suits recurring tours and permanent visitor programs. Rental can be a practical option for one-off audits, delegations, or special visits.
How quickly can visitors unlock at the exit?
Unlocking takes only a brief interaction at a LOKD Opener. The number and placement of openers can be planned around your group size and exit flow.
The mechanism
The same three-step process in every setting.
The same process works for small delegations and larger visitor programs. There is no software involved and nothing to mount in the building.
Phone goes in
Everyone puts their own phone into a pouch.
Lock
One press on the stud locks the pouch. It stays with its owner, in hand, pocket or bag, and cannot be opened by hand.
Unlock
Hold the pouch against a LOKD Opener and it releases in one motion.

Share your site location, typical group size, tour frequency, and security requirements. We will recommend a suitable setup and provide pricing. Based in Switzerland, we can also support selected deployments on site.
Planning a production on site?
Film shoots, commercial productions, and product launches use the same pouch system with a production-specific access process.
