Access control system and turnstiles
The physical barrier and the software behind it. From a tripod at the gatehouse, through a speed gate in a flagship lobby, to a full-height turnstile on the site perimeter.
The barrier is chosen for what it has to handle
The tripod turnstile is the cheapest and does the job wherever it's mainly about keeping records and no one would think of jumping over it. The speed gate suits prestige spaces — it's fast, quiet and looks good. The full-height turnstile belongs on the site perimeter, where a passage genuinely has to be secured, at night included.
Every passage comes with a reader on both sides, an access controller and a decision on how people will identify themselves — by card, QR code, a code on the keypad, or a combination.
The system can work on its own, but it makes the most sense linked with e-Recepce: the kiosk issues the visitor a card with rights to exactly the passages they need to go through, and on the way out the card collector at the exit takes it back.
Ways to identify
- Contactless RFID cards and fobs
- QR code from an invitation or phone
- Numeric code
- Virtual card for drivers
- Long-term authorisation for external suppliers
Passage types
Our standard range. For a specific project we also select other models to suit the space and requirements.
| Tripod turnstile | The most economical option for logging passages, single-lane |
|---|---|
| Motorised gate | Swing barrier — step-free passage, trolleys, luggage |
| Speed gate | Fast and quiet passage, prestige lobbies, single- or bidirectional |
| Full-height turnstile 1/1 | Site perimeter, capacity around 20 people per minute |
| Full-height turnstile 2/2 | Perimeter with higher throughput, around 40 people per minute |
| Card collector (card swallower) | Stainless steel, with RFID reader — retrieval of visitor cards |
What people ask most often
How is employee entry to the site controlled?
By a turnstile with an RFID card or QR code. You manage permissions in the portal — who may go where and when. The system links to time & attendance, so a card at the turnstile can double as clocking in.
What about visitors — do they get a card too?
Yes — the e-Recepce kiosk issues the visitor a temporary card after registration and takes it back on the way out. Unattended, and tied to who the visitor is there to see.
Can we use the cards we already have?
Usually yes — we support common RFID standards. We'll verify your specific card type during the site visit, so we don't introduce a second card where one is enough.
