DESCRIPTION
The HIQ Safe Gate system consists of several different safety procedures and devices that allow or restrict access. Granting access is based on the number of people in the building and on fullfiling certain entry conditions, such as hand disinfection, medical condition (normal body temperature), use of a protective mask …, which becomes quite useful in these times with current problems with epidemic. The system can be used in office buildings, hospitals, airports, stadiums,…
Number of different funcionalities of safe gate will be presented next.
People counting (TOF) sensor
Safe gate allows counting and restricting access based on the number of people. It counts people entering and exiting the building with TOF sensor.
TOF sensor is installed facing down above entrance to the area you want to count people in or out of. The counter works by detecting when a person crosses an invisible count line that has been configured in settings.
QR code and RFID card reader
Reader is installed on Safe gate to determine person's user profile.
Hand sanitizer
Safe gate checks if person that wants to enter, had applied hand sanitizer.
Mask and body temperature scanner
Scanner scans person's face for mask and check his temperature. If it's not wearing a mask or it's body temperature is too high, it's not allowed to enter.
Entry conditions
Safe gate can check if the person entering is wearing a face mask, if it applied hand sanitizer and if it has a fever. If it fails the conditions that are required, the person can't enter.
Safe gate allows granting entry by scanning a card (or QR code). There are three user profiles:
| User profiles - access level meaning | |
|---|---|
| L1 | This is normal level of access |
| L2 | This is VIP level of access |
| UL | This is employee level of access |
Alternatively, person can enter if the receptionist gives it an allowance. In this case, receptionist confirms level of access by identifying the person.
There are icons that are shown on the graphical display, so the person entering can see, what it must do next to enter. The graphical display shows condition you have to met next or alternatively if you are allowed to enter or have to exit the building. On the top line there are icons of all conditions and the counter of people. Colored conditions have to be met to enter, gray conditions doesn't have to be met or can't be met yet. On the rest of the screen, there is a big icon of a condition which should be met next. When it's met, the icon changes to next required condition. Next to the icon is text in three lines. On the first line there's a caption, on the other two lines is a text associated with a required condition that is shown with a big icon. The screen looks similar to the next picture:

Entering procedure
When the person aprroaches the safe gate, presence sensor is triggered. LED and graphical display show required conditions to enter.
Firstly, the hand sanitizer should be applied and face scan performed, if necessary. Face scanner checks if the person is wearing a mask and if his body temperature is normal. Then one of two steps is required to enter. Person must scan its card, to determine its user profile and if it had completed all of the necessary steps for that profile. Alternate option is that receptionist opens the door. After completing the necessary steps, button for allowing normal and/or VIP profile become enabled, receptionist then confirms person's profile and it can enter.
Next to the door is a semaphore. If the red light is on, that means you didn't complete all of the required conditions to enter. If, along with red light, alarm starts beeping too, the person must leave the building immediately. This happens for example if fever is detected. When the green light on the semaphore turns on, the person is clear to enter.
It's possible that the limit of people is reached. If that happens, person can't enter the building even if all of the required conditions were completed. First limit is for normal profile, person with that profile can't enter after that limit is reached. Second limit is for VIPs. After that limit is reached, only employees are allowed inside.
There are two allowance types, permission and prevention. If permission is selected, doors are closed until all condition are fulfilled, after which they open. If the prevention is selected, doors are open. If person fails to meet all conditions, doors close.
