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.
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.

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.
