Core Function: Prevent Tailgating
The main purpose of a turnstile is to prevent tailgating. After authorized personnel pass through using a swipe card or biometric verification, the turnstile unlocks and allows one person to pass through. Since the door is full-height, unauthorized individuals cannot follow through by jumping, climbing, or forcing their way in.
Southeast Asia Case Study
At a large data center project in Thailand, the client faced clear physical security challenges: the old passageways couldn’t prevent tailgating, posing a risk of data leaks.
The project ultimately adopted full-height turnstiles as the only entry point for employees. These turnstiles feature a unique anti-collision mechanical design and use AI sensors to detect tailgating and reverse entry in real time. The whole passage process works without manual operation, creating a complete security loop.
Climate Adaptability
Considering Southeast Asia’s hot and humid climate, these turnstiles underwent rigorous testing before leaving the factory, including:
- IP67 waterproof certification
- Temperature cycle test from -30°C to 80°C
- Stable operation verification in 95% non-condensing humidity environments
These tests ensure the equipment can handle local climate conditions and support the data center’s 24/7 continuous operation needs.
Passage Efficiency
Modern security turnstiles support simultaneous two-way passage, allowing authorized users to enter and exit at the same time. By seamlessly integrating with access control and biometric devices, turnstiles enable efficient personnel management while maintaining a high level of security.
