Gunnebo launches infection control gates

Industrial

Gunnebo, a Swedish provider of smart access control solutions, has launched infection control solutions that can help stop the spread of COVID-19

The new family of access control solutions supports a smooth return to a safe working environment by automating infection prevention through contactless processes, maximising social distancing, and enforcing body temperature and personal protective equipment regimes.

The new H-Sense range offers three levels of protection:

-Body temperature detection: H-Sense T’s 7” display pod seamlessly integrated on the turnstile, combines image analytics and thermal detection to deliver high precision, contactless body temperature detection with a measuring range from 30 - 45°C and a precision of ± 0.3°C. The system denies entry to anyone exhibiting an elevated body temperature.
-Hygienic mask detection: A camera integrated into the gate, backed up by image analytics, recognises if the visitor is wearing a hygiene mask or not.
-An automatic sanitiser gel dispenser delivers a dose of hand sanitiser contactless and prevents entry unless the sanitiser has been administered.

With increased flexibility these gates can be configured to maximise social distance in limited entry spaces. The new features relating to infection control can be retrofitted to existing gates.

Robert Hermans, senior vice-president Entrance Control, Gunnebo, said, “We foresee increased demand for access control solutions with a higher degree of connectivity and peripherals to meet specific needs created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our new H-Sense range provides efficient and user-friendly infection control processes linked to the right to access, ensuring that protective measures are properly and safely enforced.”
