In today’s world, ensuring safe and controlled access to buildings and facilities has become essential. Whether you’re managing a government office, airport, school, stadium, or industrial plant, pedestrian access control gates, person screening systems, and advanced weapon and explosive detection technologies play a vital role in maintaining safety and operational efficiency.
This guide provides an in-depth look into how these systems work, the types available, their benefits, industries that rely on them, and best practices for deployment. It’s a must-read for security professionals, facility managers, and decision-makers looking to implement or upgrade their security infrastructure.
Pedestrian access gates are smart barriers that regulate the movement of individuals into and out of a building or controlled zone. These gates can be physical (e.g., turnstiles, sliding doors) or virtual (e.g., face recognition systems), and are typically connected to an access control system that authenticates and logs entries.
Person screening gates are electronic portals used to scan individuals for concealed items, such as metal objects, unauthorized devices, or harmful materials. These gates are widely used in airports, government buildings, event venues, and courthouses.
Weapon and explosive detection technologies are used to detect concealed firearms, knives, bombs, or chemical/biological threats. These systems go beyond simple metal detection and often use AI, machine learning, and sensor fusion.
