When you're dealing with big crowds, sometimes a security guard just isn't enough.
Barbecan, a security company, has just filed a patent to deal with that exact issue. Its new system, which the brand is calling the Linear Revolving Door, is essentially a series of enhanced turnstiles with a built in metal detector to scan for bombs, guns or other threats. People can easily pass through the system of rotating barriers, which will automatically seal threats within, or reverse direction to eject the threat out of the building. The system can also be calibrated to help manage heavy levels of traffic.
A press release from Barbecan states, "Operation is completely safe, and by adapting to the pace of pedestrian traffic, LRD Portals can be used in high traffic entrances like schools, malls, theatres, stadiums, and factories."
Threat-Detecting Revolving Doors
The Gun and Bomb Detecting Revolving Door Safely Contains Threats
Trend Themes
1. Enhanced Turnstiles with Built-in Threat Detection - Opportunity for security companies to develop turnstiles with integrated metal detectors to enhance crowd security and threat detection.
2. Automated Threat Containment Systems - Potential for the development of systems that can automatically seal or eject threats within buildings, increasing safety in high traffic areas.
3. Calibrated Security Systems for Heavy Traffic Entrances - Demand for security systems that can be calibrated to manage heavy levels of pedestrian traffic, particularly in locations such as schools, malls, theaters, stadiums, and factories.
Industry Implications
1. Security Systems - Opportunity for security system companies to innovate and provide enhanced security solutions for public spaces.
2. Building Management - Potential for building management companies to incorporate automated threat containment systems into their security infrastructure.
3. Education and Entertainment - Opportunity for venues such as schools, malls, theaters, and stadiums to invest in calibrated security systems to enhance safety for visitors.
