ZOJE Speed Gates: Smarter Security with Anti-Tailgating Protection

In the management of modern commercial real estate properties, due to the complex building structure, numerous entrances and exits, significant differences in people's qualities, and a large number of equipment, facilities, and valuable assets, there are many potential hazards. Especially in some key areas such as high-speed railway stations, airports, hotels, and other crowded places, most of them adopt turnstile gate systems to maintain social order and ensure people's safety. In recent years, with the gradual improvement of people's safety awareness, more and more requirements have been put forward for turnstile systems. In recent years, as people's awareness of safety has gradually increased, the requirements for access control systems have also become more and more stringent. For instance, in areas with a high volume of traffic, are the safety passage devices installed there capable of ensuring efficient passage while also preventing potential safety hazards caused by "tailgating"?

Undoubtedly, access control, surveillance, and alarm systems are three important components of security systems. In terms of popularity, surveillance and alarm systems have long been deeply rooted in people's minds and can be seen everywhere. However, surveillance and alarm systems are passive security systems; while access control systems are active defense measures that keep out all unsafe factors, fundamentally solving security problems. When combined with surveillance and alarm systems, they form the "security triangle". In daily life, access control gates can be seen everywhere, such as at the main entrances of factories, at various entrances and exits of residential areas, in the corridors of hotel rooms, and at the most common entrances and exits of subway stations, etc. As an important part of the security triangle, access control systems play a significant role in dangerous situations. ZOJE is a company specialized in the research, development, production, and sales of security products. Currently, the company has its own intelligent pedestrian access control doors (tripod turnstile gates,flap gates, speed gates), and also integrates the application of technologies such as facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, QR code recognition, and infrared. The speed gates launched by ZOJE have the "anti-tailing" function. First, let's understand what “tailgating” is.

"Tailgating" means that the person in front swipes their card legally, the door opens, and the cardholder enters legally. The person behind doesn't swipe their card but follows the person in front to enter together. This is the tailing phenomenon. Some people tail intentionally, while others do it unintentionally. For example, when swiping the card, the door doesn't read the information and the cardholder just moves forward. This is an involuntary tailing. Whether intentional or involuntary, users don't want tailing to occur, so the speed gate must be able to prevent it.

ZOJE's speed gates are generally applied in office buildings, hotels, high-speed railway stations, airports, etc. They manage the entry and exit restrictions or the passage methods of people by balancing the forward and backward opening and closing doors. In addition to having all the features of wing gates, the speed gates also improve some of their own product features. The passage width of the speed gates can be adjusted and customized according to specific situations, which is different from flap gates, whose passage width is usually fixed. In addition, the mechanism of the speed gates has a buffering function. When the door bars are impacted, they will move forward at a certain angle. Under the action of the encoder, the speed gates can accurately find the zero position, which is usually called the anti-collision reset function, and it won't cause damage to the mechanism.

The continuous increase in public security demands and the rapid development of intelligent management have been driving the continuous iteration and update of security products. The "anti-tailing" function of speed gates is not only a technological advancement but also a specific need for people to have an efficient, safe, and convenient passage experience. With professional R & D capabilities and rich application experience, ZOJE continuously optimizes the performance of its products by integrating active defense with intelligent recognition, making management more efficient and ensuring greater security.
