Door specialist Boon Edam says that the new Boon Edam StereoVision technology meets many of the demands for high-security solutions that are resulting from the emerging threats in society.
“With StereoVision in a Boon Edam Tourlock, you can reliably and accurately detect piggybacking at your high-security entrance,” says a company spokesman.
He elaborates: “StereoVision is a highly sophisticated security system that recognises shapes, size and volume in three dimensions. By analysing these data, the system determines the number of people attempting to enter on one authorisation and blocks the security door when violation is detected. Because of this unique 3D technology the highest accuracy in security access can be reached without reducing the capacity of the entrance.”
Tourlock is the high security revolving door from Boon Edam. Combining the StereoVision system with this revolving door creates an unmanned high-security entrance. The most important advantages are a capacity of 20 persons per minute and elimination of piggybacking and tailgating, says the spokesman.
This new generation of high security technology is available as an option in the standard Tourlock. As a security upgrade, StereoVision can also be installed into existing Tourlock projects all over the world. Because the StereoVision system occupies a minimum amount of space, it can be installed in both the ingress and egress sides of the Tourlock, if desired.
Boon Edam supplied its first revolving door more than 100 years ago. Since then, the group has become a world market leader in revolving doors. “But we do more than that. Our core business nowadays focuses on door systems, security access and advanced door care,” says the spokesman.
The company has manufacturing companies in the Netherlands, China and the US, sales and service organisations in 12 countries, and authorised distributors in another 35 countries.
Boon Edam delivers a broad range of innovative, high-quality products and services that meet the clients’ needs for efficiency, security and aesthetic design across the globe.
“Years of experience meeting a wide variety of demands allow us to combine our expertise with the client’s professionalism, providing precisely the solutions he seek,” he adds.
“Thousands of people pass through our doors all over the world. There is no other major international group with Boon Edam’s longstanding experience in the field of revolving doors and security doors,” he points out.
Starting back in 1873, as a carpentry specialist, Boon Edam became, in the years that followed, the international market leader. “We have used our years of experience to develop a wide range of door products that can be customised to almost every building entrance requirement,” says the spokesman.
“With the help of highly sophisticated computer programs we can advise on exactly how many people will pass through various types of doors per given unit of time, or how energy-efficient one type of door is compared with another type. Our highly trained employees can offer a range of professional services from sales and consultancy, project management and service and maintenance to ensure that the client not only buys the best door for his needs but that it functions as such for years to come,” he adds.
