Turnstile Gate Systems Boost Efficiency and Reduce Operational Costs
When paired with a modern access control system, turnstile gate systems can be an effective security measure that boosts efficiency and reduces operational costs. Kisi creates customized turnkey security solutions for commercial and industry properties in California.
They are designed to allow only one person through at a time, while preventing overcrowding and tailgating. They can be equipped with arms or a door and come in a variety of sizes to suit the needs of any facility.
Turnstiles with Optical turnstile gate systems
Organizations from all verticals use optical turnstile gate systems in their lobbys to improve security and speed up employee access. Tracie Tracie Thomas VP Marketing explains how our Speedlane Swing is the best optical turnstile for the most critical aspects in lobby security.
Optical Turnstiles consist of two cabinets separated by a passageway. They use sensors to detect someone passing through. These turnstiles come with a motorized gate or can be barrier free. They can be set to only allow controlled passage or uncontrolled, or remain locked if no valid credential is presented.
These units can be used in places that place an emphasis on both efficiency as well as aesthetics. This includes corporate lobbies. multi-tenant offices, university recreation centres and modern health club. They are available as full height or waist high models. The latter, known as speed gates, are rotating barriers that look like a revolving doors and are perfect for situations where space is at a premium and speed of entry matters.
Full Height turnstile gate systems
Full height turnstile gate systems provide a physical barrier to restrict access to restricted areas and offer high security for facilities that need it. They are commonly used in a range of settings, including airports, sports stadiums, and industrial sites. These robust turnstiles have been designed to withstand heavy use and harsh environments. They are also tamperproof and require little maintenance to ensure maximum performance.
Macrosafe has a large selection of full-height turning gates for a variety applications. They come in multiple options such as single passage, dual passage, or interlocking doors. Some of these are ADA-compliant to meet the accessibility needs of disabled individuals.
These products, which are installed in prisons or warehouses or on construction sites, have strong welding that can withstand even the harshest abuse. They can withstand the elements and are available with a powder-coated or galvanized finish that resists corrosion. This makes them a reliable choice for facilities that need the strongest level of protection, like gymnasiums and prisons. It is almost impossible to bypass these gates without a valid card.
Biometric turnstile gate systems
Incorporating biometrics into a turnstile gate systems adds an extra layer of security, while also eliminating the need to carry a physical card. Biometric recognition system can include fingerprint, face and iris identification. The biometric sensor will unlock the barrier once a valid credential or document is presented. After that, the barrier is relocked for the following person.
Fingerprint Recognition. The uniqueness and individuality of a finger print makes it a perfect method for identifying an individual. Unlike ID cards or passwords which can be stolen, fingerprints cannot.
Face Recognition: Human features are difficult to falsify, making it a good identification method. It can be used to verify and control access in different scenarios, including personnel access management and attendance management.
Iris Recognition: The iris contains many detailed features, including interlaced spots, filaments, crowns, striations and crypts, which can be used to identify a person. It has a high level of accuracy and reliability but is not suitable for a dim environment.
Multi-Lane turnstile
When security demands become increasingly stringent, full height turnstile gate systems help you safeguard people and assets by preventing unauthorized passage. They are durable, have advanced technology, and allow for custom configurations to suit your needs.
To determine the best solution for you, take into account the size and layout. You’ll need to determine if there is enough space for a large security barrier, and how the turnstile will impact traffic. Also, take into account the initial costs and ongoing costs.
Full-height turntiles are often used in stadiums with strict entry requirements, theme parks, public transport sites, and other locations. Full-height turnstiles can’t be jumped over and are compatible with many access control systems. Waist-high turnstiles, on the other hand, can be rolled over or passed through, which makes them less secure than a full-height option. However, they make a good option for interior spaces with a high aesthetic value, such a hotel lobby or public building lobby.
Access Control System
The access control system works with the turnstile to verify the identity of individuals attempting entry. It does this by comparing the data against a pre-registered list of credentials (such ID cards, ebadges or biometrics). If it is successful, the gate will open and log the time. This can be used in future security reports or time and attendance tracking.
For high-security areas such as military bases and nuclear and energy facilities. Distribution warehouses and manufacturing factories. They provide higher security levels and offer more options in access control.
Turnstiles streamline the entry process, reduce queues and bottlenecks and improve overall site security by reducing the need for security personnel to monitor each entrance. Integrated with a Visitor Management System such as Kisi these turnstiles can also help gather accurate data on occupancy that will help facility managers plan for potential capacity issues and make informed space usage decisions.
