Smart security at DaimlerChrysler

Visitors to DaimlerChrysler UK at Milton Keynes are now faced with a highly effective yet visually pleasing array of entrance control equipment, following the recent installation of a range of products, designed and manufactured by Oldham company, Broughton Controls.

First impressions really do count and for a visitor to any company the first encounter will be with the entrance to the premises, whether this is a gatehouse or the main doors of the building itself. Entrance control equipment must therefore be both effective and at the same time aesthetically pleasing to project that all-important image.

For vehicle control the central gatehouse at DaimlerChrysler UK is now flanked by two, 6-metre span, high security barriers complete with full-height anti-pedestrian skirts above and below the barrier arm itself. The powerful electro-hydraulic design of these units gives extremely high reliability under the most demanding of high-frequency usage conditions.

Staff and visitor entry and exit are controlled by two half-height tripod turnstiles complete with card-reading activation and manual override from the security lodge. An adjoining full-height pedestrian gate, activated by pushbutton from the security lodge, has been included to cater for situations where packages need to be carried through. The whole system has been designed with ease of use and high traffic volumes in mind, although good looks have not been sacrificed in the process. All exposed elements received multi-layer protective coatings to help retain optimum visual presentation and protect against vandalism as well as the elements and general wear and tear to which these installations are subjected.
