Boon Edam introduces BE Secure overhead detection system for use with Turnlock Full Height Turnstiles at GSX 2022

Boon Edam Inc., a pioneer in security entrances and architectural revolving doors, introduces BE Secure, a new secure overhead detection system for use with Turnlock Full Height Turnstiles at GSX 2022, September 12-14 in Atlanta, Georgia.

This new, innovative overhead detection system is purpose-built for the detection and prevention of piggybacking within Boon Edam’s range of full height turnstiles. Boon Edam’s Turnlock 150 Full Height Turnstile with integrated BE Secure Overhead Detection System will be on display alongside the company’s suite of additional security entrance products at GSX booth #3017.

Full height turnstiles

“Boon Edam’s full height turnstiles have long been a solution to deterring unauthorised entry and tailgating due to their robust, rugged design,” said Kurt Measom, Vice President of Product and Technology, Boon Edam. “With the addition of the BE Secure Overhead Detection System, we are now able to also address the issue of piggybacking. For our customers, this translates to a more secure, effective security perimeter.”

If piggybacking is detected, the turnstile will automatically lock and refuse entry

The BE Secure system utilises Time-of-Flight measurement principles (TOF) combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms to detect when two people try to enter the same compartment on a turnstile using one credential, otherwise known as piggybacking. If piggybacking is detected, the turnstile will automatically lock and refuse entry.

Factory supplied option

Built for both exterior and interior applications, Boon Edam’s range of full height turnstiles with integrated BE Secure are ideal for a variety of applications where piggybacking detection and prevention are required.

Boon Edam’s Turnlock 100 and Turnlock 150 Full Height Turnstiles can be ordered with the BE Secure Overhead Detection System installed as a factory supplied option or as a field retrofit kit. For the Turnlock 200 model, BE Secure is only available as ‘Special Request’ from the factory on new shipped products.
