Emerging Turnstile Trends Creating the Pathway to Change

Businesses and government agencies today are facing uncertainty with the COVID-19 virus still running rampant throughout cities nationwide.

With all the uncertainty, one thing that has remained consistent is the importance of securing the perimeter of private and government buildings across our nation.

Security has and will always be the number one focus for most facilities. However, COVID-19 has helped bring to the forefront some positive changes as we are seeing a huge push in the market for touchless entry points.

Traditionally, facility managers would look at the cheapest turnstile solution to just get the job done. Today, superior durability and a touchless turnstile experience are in high demand rather than an average system that is poorly made.

In addition, property managers need to know who is coming into their building and must keep out visitors who do not comply with the new COVID-19 safety protocols.

Many amusement parks, sports venues, schools, and corporations are looking to use entrance turnstiles and exit turnstiles with counters to get accurate measurements of how many people are in their facilities, when peak traffic is, and to see whether there are still people in their facilities.

Along with the trend of a touchless check-in, there is a significant increase in demand for touchless facial recognition biometric credentials.

This mode of check-in is not only sanitary and efficient, but it is arguably the most accurate way to gather credentials as one’s face or fingerprints are difficult to duplicate in comparison to an ID badge.

Continuous development of public transportation infrastructure is predicted to drive the waist-high turnstiles market
