Vanderbilt has explored best practices for protecting employees and visitors when they come to a building.

Below, Vanderbilt outlines a scenario of how the products can be used for area counting and pre-booking systems for occupancy management when social distancing.

Example Scenario:

  • Vanderbilt’s access control solutions can manage the number of people in an area at any one time.
  • Automated people counting systems offer a method of counting and limiting access to certain areas.
  • Operators can enable a maximum occupancy level to prevent overcrowding within a building or in an area.

Reports and Alarms

  • These systems can provide live data and trigger alarms in the event of an occupancy breach.
  • This live data will enable organisations to take proactive decisions to prevent overcrowding and enforce social distancing effectively.
  • This will enable security operators to evaluate which areas of a building are vulnerable to overcrowding with live statistics, including heat and path maps, people count reports, zone breakdowns, and alerts of congestion and bottlenecks.
  • A red light or red and green lights can be triggered to show when people can enter.

Suitable For:

Retail outlet or supermarkets controlling how many people they can have in their store, with a red and green light being turned on as occupancy levels reach user-defined thresholds.
