BSD Infotech supplies, integrates and installs turnstiles, flap barriers, swing barriers and boom barriers — connected with RFID, NFC, smart card, biometric or face recognition identification and software — for controlled entry at campuses, offices, factories, dining halls and clubs.
Proven at institutions: BSD Infotech has implemented turnstile, biometric, face recognition and UHF reader solutions across 20 institutions. For one university campus we installed a full-height turnstile with biometric identification — and the university came back for a second turnstile.
A floor-to-ceiling rotating gate that lets one person through at a time. Used at perimeter and campus gates where entry must be tightly controlled, often without a guard.
A waist-high turnstile with three arms. A practical choice for offices, factories and canteen or mess entry, where one-at-a-time passage is enough.
Retractable flaps that open for authorised users. Suited to busy lobbies and dining halls where quick passage matters; it relies more on alarms and supervision than physical strength.
A wider swinging gate for lanes that must also admit wheelchairs, trolleys or luggage. Often installed next to turnstiles or flap barriers.
A rising arm for vehicle entry at gates and parking. Can be linked with RFID/UHF tags, or with identification devices on both sides for entry and exit.
The right equipment depends on your security level, people flow, lane count and site. We recommend it after understanding the requirement.
| Equipment | Physical security | Typical location | Consider |
| Full-height turnstile | High | Campus and perimeter gates | Larger footprint; one person per rotation |
| Tripod turnstile | Medium | Offices, factories, canteen/mess entry | Can be climbed over; best where the area is supervised |
| Flap barrier | Medium | Lobbies, dining halls, busy entrances | Fast passage; relies on alarms and supervision |
| Swing barrier | Medium | Accessible lanes, goods/luggage lanes | Wider lane; usually paired with other gates |
| Boom barrier | Vehicle control | Main gates, parking | For vehicles, not pedestrians |
A general guide — the final choice depends on the site, the number of users and the level of control required.
A turnstile or barrier opens when the user is identified and allowed through. Depending on the selected equipment and system, identification can be by:
Compatibility between a specific identification device and a specific turnstile is confirmed for each project. For a comparison of these technologies, see access control solutions.
The software supplied with a standalone biometric device usually manages that device alone. For campuses and multi-gate sites, BSD Infotech can provide customized in/out management software:
See also school attendance and crowd control and our visitor management system.
Power backup matters: for turnstile projects we have included UPS units with built-in batteries so the gates keep working during power cuts.
Campus in/out management with turnstiles, biometric or card identification and central software.
Controlled gate entry for students and staff, with attendance where required.
Tripod turnstiles or flap barriers for mess and canteen entry, with card, fingerprint or face identification.
Lobby flap barriers or tripod turnstiles for employees, with visitor lanes where needed.
Worker entry and exit, often combined with attendance.
Member entry, and boom barriers for vehicles at main gates and parking.
The price of a turnstile, flap barrier or boom barrier project depends on the type of equipment, the number of lanes, the finish, the identification method, the software, power backup and installation. Share your requirement and we will send a quotation for the complete solution.
