The Modernization of Turnstile Systems: Advanced Solutions for Security and Efficiency

For many years turnstiles were seen merely as mechanical barriers that "block entry". Today they have become smart devices at the heart of time & attendance, visitor management and emergency management.

From tripods to speed gates

With their economical and durable design, tripod turnstiles are still the most common solution. However, in facilities where hundreds of people pass at the same time during morning and evening shift changes, glass-wing speed gates noticeably reduce queues.

Full integration with biometric verification

Integrating face recognition terminals into the turnstile body eliminates the problem of forgotten or shared cards. Access records go directly to the time & attendance software.

Free passage in emergencies

Modern turnstiles automatically switch to free passage during a power failure or fire alarm, while the emergency muster system reports in real time who has left the building.

How to choose the right turnstile?

  • Hourly passage density
  • Indoor / outdoor use
  • Accessible and goods passage needs
  • Verification method to be used (card, QR, biometrics)

You can request a free on-site survey to identify the right model for your facility.
