Clear View Turnstiles for Corporate Lobbies

Written by Matt Golueke | Apr 27, 2017 1:23:34 PM

Following the events of 9/11, many visitors at corporate buildings were greeted by turnstiles designed to slow down visitors and allow security to verify credentials.

Fast forward to today, and many of those turnstiles are long overdue for a technology and aesthetics refresh.

"Our primary focus is always on risk mitigation first. This will determine the type of turnstile barrier that is appropriate for each client. Once that is determined, we focus on aesthetics," says Tom Elliott, Director, Global Business Development at Orion Entrance Control whose headquarters is in Laconia, New Hampshire.

To meet these challenges, Orion Entrance Control featured their Clear View turnstile system at ISC West. Clear View provides a modern look and feel with high-tech access control components. This combination meets the needs of security professionals and architects alike.

The Clear View turnstiles are built to meet the technology requirements of individual security departments. Technology customization includes biometric readers, integration to existing access control software, and more.

Dip-Tech Digital Ceramic In-Glass Printing provides an opportunity for sleek design or corporate branding in the 3/8" tempered safety glass portion of the turnstile. Surrounds and top covers are custom designed with a variety of matterials from Corian to granite to stainless steel to match the interior design of the lobby.

The budget won't be injured by this degree of customization either. Pricing is in-line with solid pedastal products for low glass and high glass barriers.

Orion Entrance Control products are designed and built in the USA. Our team took a visit to their headquarters in Laconia, New Hampshire to see how their turnstiles are built and what makes Orion unique.

Autodesk Seek makes turnstile design easier for Specifiers

 

Autodesk Seek helps architects, consultants, designers, and engineers source product information to enhance building design process.

In the competitive security market, the strategy for getting ahead is getting designed into new projects. To do that, it is essential to have BIM (Building Information Modeling) models and CAD drawings ready to go. Orion Entrance Control, Inc., a leading manufacturer of innovative and customized entrance control lanes such as turnstiles, has taken this strategy further by helping architects, consultants, and engineers to easily find and access its 3D CAD and BIM models on Autodesk Seek, a web service that helps designers quickly discover, preview and download high-quality 3D information

According to a report from McGraw Hill Construction, BIM adoption in North America has grown from 17 to 70 percent based on multi-year trend analysis and user ratings from 2007-2012. Based on this and other research, Steve Caroselli, president of Orion Entrance Control, Inc., recognized that the migration to 3D CAD platforms that offer visualization, simulation and enhanced analytics is transforming the design process. Caroselli was determined that Orion ECI offer the cutting-edge tool on their products.

“We are thrilled to work with Autodesk to have its Seek service offer the entire line of Orion’s entrance control products in Autodesk Revit and BIM models,” stated Orion Entrance Control, Inc. President, Steve Caroselli.

Orion Entrance Control, Inc., has listed Orion’s entrance control lanes on Autodesk Seek including3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) models, 2D drawings, installation instructions, data sheets, and product specifications of Orion’s barrier products. Architects, engineers and integrators can go to seek.autodesk.com and find Orion’s CAD and BIM applications. For the architects and consultants, this means no downtime during the design phase, from needed specs or other information. Autodesk Seek is integrated into Autodesk AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit design platforms.
