Turnstile is used where there is a need to have hard pass control (stadiums, halls, offices, logistics). It can be mechanical or motorised and is usually connected to ACS.
Practical benefit
- Physically enforces a “one at a time” pass.
- Speeds up check-in (if the process is well set up).
- Reduces the need for manual inspection, but does not replace supervision (tailgating still exists).
In the event environment, it works best in combination with accreditation and clear ingress/egress plan.
