Integrated entry and exit management for vehicles and people at a single gate; installation of accordion gates at factory entrances and exits.
●Case Study of Implementation at an Automotive Parts Manufacturer's Factory
【Location】
A wide entrance with height restrictions for the roof, serving as an entry and exit point for trucks.
【Concern】
The existing bar-type gate restricts vehicle and pedestrian access, but people can still slip through, leading to security issues.
【Equipment Installation and Benefits】
・Two accordion gates were installed, one on each side of the opening, allowing for double-opening.
→ This accommodates the wide entrance and meets the height restrictions.
・The accordion gates are usually closed, effectively blocking both vehicles and pedestrians.
→ While the bar-type gate allowed people to slip through, switching to the accordion type has prevented this issue.
・Rapid opening and closing speed.
→ Compared to electric gates, the accordion gates allow for quicker operation, suitable for high-traffic entry and exit points.
At Koito Manufacturing Co., located in Shizuoka Prefecture, vehicle access was previously managed with a standard bar-type car gate. However, due to the presence of important parts and data within the factory, unrestricted access for people posed risks of theft and security issues. By installing the accordion gates, it became possible to restrict access for both vehicles and pedestrians with a single solution, effectively resolving the problem of unauthorized entry.
