A gate barrier system is a way of controlling who is entering your premise and when, and when the system is automatic, you can forget worries about having to employ someone by your gates. An automatic barrier will stop traffic from entering and exiting your car park, or other area outside your building, giving you the confidence to know just who is where at any one time.
When you have a premise on an industrial estate that does not invite members of the public to visit such as a store, you cannot simply have an open parking lot. This would become a free-for-all for people looking for free parking, and your parking facilities would become unnecessarily full. A car park without security can also cause security issues, and unwanted access overnight or when no one is there. A premise that does not have security features such as automatic gates or barrier or bollards will quickly become a target for thieves, making your premise an undesirable place to be.
You may own a lock up or a warehouse, where people will work in shifts or solely during the day. Your industrial premise should be gated and secure, and there should be no gaps in the security. As well as gates and barrier systems, you can introduce CCTV and Intercom systems to ensure you really have control over who is coming and going.
Your automatic barrier will rise up when an employee swipes a card, or alternatively, an intercom can be used to alert you to guests and visitors who do not own a swipe card. All the movements of your gate barrier can be controlled from a control room, or from a remote access point, allowing you to take control over your premise when you are not present.
Automatic barriers and gates will also stop traffic jams, and will save you many hours of time over the course of the year. Traffic that enters your premise should be controlled at all times, but thanks to modern technology, that does not mean that you have to have someone manning your gates. Delivery drivers can also be issued with cards to open your barriers, or once again, you can choose that they use your intercom system to allow them to enter and exit your parking lot.
Replacing antiquated barrier and gate systems for modern devices will heighten the security of your premise, and they will save you money in the long run. Insurance for your premise will be lower when you install all the necessary security measures, and never again will you see a backlog of vehicles trying to get in and out. Whether you have one car each hour entering and exiting your premise, or one every minute, automatic systems for opening and closing gates and barriers is the best solution for your industry.
With automatic entry and exit for all vehicles, and everything controlled from a remote access point, negligence from staff will also become a thing of the past. You will know who was late for work, and who was present when a theft took place, meaning that you will really have control over your premise in the way you need to make it safe, efficient, and secure.
