Preventing infection through secure, hygienic access

Touch-free opening and closing of the main entrance with an autoslide door system.

Requirement

Entrances to facilities such as administrative buildings, banks and supermarkets require door solutions that meet the requirements for barrier-free design, safety and hygiene, and that at the same time comply with the corresponding standards. The people flow must be unhindered.

Solution

Sliding door systems allow an unimpeded flow of people. In addition to contactless opening and closing, sliding door systems offer protection against burglary and vandalism when closed and locked. With digital access control, users can safely enter and quickly exit via the certified escape route.

Barrier-free interior door with automatic, contactless opening via radio or contactless button

Requirement

A wide range of requirements are placed on door solutions, especially in heavily frequented interiors with a constant stream of visitors and many different types of door. Doors should be safe and easy to open and close, touch-free for optimal hygiene, and barrier-free and user-friendly.

Solution

Swing door operators can open the door automatically, or can be used as a support for manual access. When used with a contactless activator, the door can be opened with just a hand movement, as long as this is within the sensor’s detection range. This enables barrier-free, hygienic and convenient access.
As an alternative to the contactless radar sensor, the opening activator can also be emitted by a hand-held radio transmitter. The radio receiver is integrated into the door operator.

Access to patient rooms with electronic access control.

Requirement

Nursing homes such as care homes, retirement homes, care homes for dementia patients and hospitals face the challenge of reconciling their patients’ freedom with their protection. The decisive factor here is secure, individual access to private rooms, which must be made barrier-free. Providing privacy and supporting staff’s day-to-day work goes together with stringent hygiene protection measures. These requirements demand centralized, flexible access control systems.

Solution

Access is granted by an access management system. The electronic automatic door lock on the patient’s door only allows people with access permission to enter from the outside. The patient or authorized personnel can carry the transponder on their body – no more troublesome searching for keys or costly key losses. The door is always open from the inside. Controlled access can also contribute to increased hygiene. Only one person or a small number of authorized individuals have access to a private room.

This means that the spread of infection can be reduced.

Contactless access control systems with sensor barriers.

Requirement

Security-relevant areas in sensitive buildings such as banks, office complexes or even pharmaceutical facilities must only be accessible to authorized persons. Here, the incoming and outgoing flow of people must be controlled efficiently, easily and, as far as possible, without waiting times. Reliable access control, high levels of personal safety and adequate hygiene protection measures are required in these highly frequented areas.

Solution

Sensor barriers offer contactless interior access control and pedestrian flow control. They combine touch-free passage with high passage frequency and thus offer hygienic protection in public areas.

An Argus sensor barrier is one of the striking first impressions when entering a foyer. Together with the reception, the attractive sensor barriers become a representative part of the building. For controlling the flow of people and access authorization, sensor barriers are the appropriate solution as an access barrier. Entry is only granted to authorized persons, whether by transponder, badge or other individual access media. And this is done completely touch-free and automatically.

Argus sensor barriers are separation systems that ensure that access is controlled according to authorization. Equipped with intelligent technology, they also ensure that attempts to bypass the separation are detected. They thus contribute to building security and offer a convenient way to control the flow of people and support visitor management.
