Automatic doors are often thought to be necessary primarily for the main entrance of a building. But what about inside the building? If the purpose of automatic doors is to reduce contact points, provide ease of entry and exit, save energy, and maintain controlled access, then it is just as important for interior doors to be automatic as it is for main entrance doors.
As you read this, the prevalence of automatic doors is increasing in many companies.
Particularly in government offices, school buildings, airports, executive offices, and restricted areas like hospital intensive care units, access control is already in place. With the pandemic increasing interest in contactless technology, there is now a growing interest in access control systems in offices as well.
Card Access Systems
To restrict access at main entrances or to control access in specific areas of a facility for security reasons, card access systems have provided a simple and effective solution for many years. Personal identification via a card allows for easy determination of which areas individuals can access.
Biometric Recognition Systems
For added security, biometric recognition systems are also widely used today. These systems identify individuals with appropriate security access by utilizing biometric tools such as fingerprint scans, facial recognition, and iris scanning at various control points. Automatic doors with biometric access control are commonly found in hospitals, government buildings, and laboratories.
Bluetooth Control Systems
Bluetooth access control for automatic doors offers a completely contactless solution without the need for any cards. This approach eliminates physical contact and stands out in terms of hygiene measures compared to card access and biometric recognition systems. Given that almost everyone now has a mobile device with Bluetooth technology for access control, its use is expected to become increasingly common in the coming years.
QR Code Access Systems
QR code access systems feature unique security applications compared to other methods. This application, which also eliminates contact, allows for not only entry and exit but also the definition of more specific access permissions, such as time, date, and duration of stay in a particular area. This maximizes security while also eliminating the need for additional card printing processes.
