Gates and intelligent buildings: achieving efficient management and safety control

Gates have evolved into an indispensable part of intelligent buildings, providing efficient management, security control, and data analysis. They not only improve the overall efficiency of the building, but also provide a higher level of safety. With the popularization of intelligent buildings, we can expect that gate technology will continue to evolve, providing more benefits for buildings and their users.

With the continuous development of cities and the rise of intelligent buildings, modern gates have become a key element in achieving efficient management and safety control. They are not only traffic management devices, but also play an important role in smart buildings. This article will delve into the role and benefits of turnstiles in smart building environments.

1. Integration of intelligent buildings

Gates are no longer just isolated devices, they can be closely integrated with intelligent building systems to achieve seamless traffic management. By connecting with the automation system, security system, and visitor management system of the building, the gate can automatically respond and coordinate the passage process.

For example, when a visitor registers at the front desk of a building, the gate can communicate with the visitor management system, automatically verify information, and issue a pass. This automated process not only improves efficiency, but also reduces manual intervention and potential errors.

2. Visitor management and identity verification

In smart buildings, safety is crucial. The gate can be integrated with various identity verification systems, including facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, and identity cards. This ensures that only authorized personnel can enter the building, thereby improving overall safety.

At the same time, the gate can also manage visitor access. When visitors arrive, the front desk staff can issue virtual access credentials, and visitors only need to place the credentials on the turnstile to complete the passage without direct contact with the equipment. This convenient visitor management method enhances the visitor experience and reduces queuing time.

3. Data analysis and resource optimization

The intelligent gate not only provides traffic management, but also collects a large amount of traffic data. These data are crucial for building operations and resource optimization. The management team can analyze data to understand personnel flow patterns, peak hours, and which regions are popular.

Based on this information, building managers can optimize resource allocation, such as deployment of security personnel, maintenance plans, and equipment upgrades. This data-driven approach helps to improve the overall efficiency and safety of buildings.

4. Environmentally friendly and energy-saving

Some modern turnstiles also have energy-saving characteristics. They can detect the number of pedestrians and automatically adjust energy consumption according to demand. At low traffic, the gate can enter sleep mode, reducing energy consumption and making it environmentally friendly.

Based in Shenzhen, the innovation center of China, Hong Kong ZOJE Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd was established in 2012, specializing in Turnstile gates ever since the very beginning.

Thanks to the teamwork of its electronics and mechanical engineers, ZOJE always comes up with turnstile gates of creative and industry-leading design in compliance with ISO 9001:2015 standard for all customers, raising its profile around the globe.  ZOJE may not be a renowned brand but definitely is one of the top manufactures providing customized services in this industry.
