Visitor Management turnstiles and speed gates

30th January, 2019

Share with your friends

One of the more popular requests these days for integrations is to integrate the visitor management system with access control systems. When asked we always share that integration to an access control system really only works if you have turnstiles or speed gates.

Why integrate your visitor management system with access control?

Number 1 reason is to have all the employee on site registered in the evacuation module. Problem is one person can swipe and open a door and 3 people can walk through the door behind the person that swiped not registering their presence on site in the evacuation module because they did not swipe the access control card on the way through. Unless your time and attendance and payroll is linked to the swiping of the access control points this type of integration is set to fail for the intended purpose.

The only way to get the data as accurate as possible for evacuation is to have people swipe at a turnstile or single file speed gate.

Construction sites, manufacturers and many other organisation do use turnstiles while many buildings have speed gates, for the best evacuation data you should only integrate your visitor management system with your access control system if you have turnstiles or speed gates.

Anyone can integrate there access control system with there visitor management system provided the access control system has the ability to push and pull data, with API’s and web hooks integrations have become easier than ever before. Why integrate your access control system with your visitor management system if the data is not consistent?

Evacuation Management with Visitor Management Software
22nd Mar, 2023
Peter Morrissey

In the event of an emergency, proper evacuation management is critical to ensuring the safety of building occupants, including visitors. This is where visitor management software can come in handy.

Visitor management software can be used to track the whereabouts of visitors in the building and ensure that they are safely evacuated in the event of an emergency. The software can also be used to communicate important safety information and evacuation instructions to visitors, including directions to the nearest exit and assembly point.

Here are some tips for using visitor management software for evacuation management in buildings:

Set up the software properly: Make sure that the software is set up correctly and that all visitors are registered upon entry. This will ensure that you have an accurate record of all visitors in the building in the event of an emergency.

Use the software to communicate: Utilize the software to communicate important safety information and evacuation instructions to visitors. This can be done through automated messages, emails, or text messages.

Identify assembly points: Use the software to identify assembly points for visitors in the event of an emergency. This will help to ensure that all visitors are accounted for and can be safely evacuated.

Train staff on evacuation procedures: Make sure that all staff members are trained on evacuation procedures and know how to use the visitor management software. This will ensure that everyone is prepared in the event of an emergency.

Test the system regularly: Regularly test the visitor management software to ensure that it is working properly and that everyone knows how to use it. This will help to ensure that everyone is prepared in the event of an emergency.

Overall, using visitor management software for evacuation management in buildings can be a valuable tool for ensuring the safety of all occupants, including visitors. By properly utilizing the software and following these tips, building managers can be well-prepared in the event of an emergency.
