Is your business a busy place with large numbers of people coming and going? If so, turnstiles may help you improve both security and efficiency. The increased technology can enhance the entrance of your business and eliminates the need for a security guard to check each person as they come in. Instead, biometrics or ID readers will allow people to move rapidly and efficiently through the system.
Faster Access Control
A regular turnstile can manage up to 30 people passing through each minute. If you have multiple turnstiles, this means hundreds of people will pass through easily in an hour. Processing that many people with security can take much longer. However, if you need to count who is in the building, as well as limit access, the turnstiles allow you to do that faster and more efficiently.
The person simply walks to the turnstile, presents their ID card or scannable chip and goes on in. Everything from badges and barcodes can be used.
Maintain Data
You can also collect data from turnstiles, which may prove useful in the case of an emergency. You’ll know exactly how many people are inside the building and can provide accurate numbers to police or fire officials.
However, this data is also useful for other things, such as identifying customer behaviour, peak hours, and even average time spent in the business. This information is useful in tailoring products and services to meet people’s needs.
Reduce Crime Attempts
Depending on the level of security you are aiming for, a turnstile could be a big deterrent to potential criminals. Regular turnstiles will keep most people from doing anything illegal, simply because they know they’re being tracked and they will need to use a badge to get in or out. Highly protected facilities may use full height turnstiles, which prevent leaping over the turnstile and give a more serious look to the building entrance.
While the visual deterrent works well enough, you can also lock the turnstiles to prevent people from entering or exiting if you know someone needs to be caught.
Turnstiles provide a lot of benefits, so it makes sense to incorporate them into your business. Whether you run a laboratory or factory, or just need to maintain an eye on the number of people entering and exiting your supermarket, turnstiles can be useful.
