MyTravel
puts it’s Security in the Fastlane |
MyTravel
has recently installed the Fastlane Glassgate, from Integrated
Design at its corporate
head office in Rochdale. MyTravel Group is one of the UK’s
leading holiday and leisure groups, and includes names such
as Airtours and Going Places. |
Initial
Electronic Security Systems (IESS) drew up a plan to secure
the entrance, limiting access to the building to only authorised
staff and visitors; as such an access control system and
turnstiles were required. The appearance of the main entrance
was a key issue, as MyTravel wanted to keep an ‘open
feel’. Also two lanes were required, including a DDA-width
(UK Disability & Discrimination Act) and a standard-width
lane. |
|
Fastlane
Glassgates were recommended by IESS, as the Glassgate has
a glass barrier which operates in a user friendly ‘door-like
motion’ allowing for quick acceptance by new users.
The system was integrated seamlessly with Diester proximity
access readers inside the pedestals, to ensure the most
discrete finish possible. |
| |
The
Fastlane Glassgate is a state of the art speedgate that
combines IR detection sensors for tailgate detection and
glass barriers to control access. The Glassgate’s
bi-directional swinging glass barrier intelligently controls
traffic flow whilst maximising throughput and the IR tailgate
detection offers excellent protection against unauthorised
entrants. |
MyTravel
required a DDA-width lane; the Glassgate comes with a single
barrier for standard lanes and a double barrier lane was
added to the system to create a wider passage for DDA compliance.
Safety beams monitor the area near the barrier; if an object
is detected in the path of the barriers, they slow to a
crawl until the obstruction is removed. The Fastlane Glassgate
can integrate with a fire alarm system so that in an emergency
the barriers automatically open in the exit direction to
allow for free emergency egress. In a power failure, the
barriers can be gently pushed out of the way. |
“Everyone
at MyTravel has been very impressed with the new Fastlane
Glassgates, which greatly enhance the corporate image of
our reception area. The staff fully appreciate the need
for additional security measures and the fast throughput
has meant that people aren’t inconvenienced by the
new system.” Said David Thew, Group Property, Procurement
& Facilities Director at MyTravel. |

IDL
have just opened a new sales and conferencing facility in
Littleton House. With the increasing number of products
in the range, a larger demonstration area was required so
that all the products can be permanently setup and demonstrated
to potential customers. This facilitates an easy comparision
and understanding of the varying products. |
In
addition to the new conferencing facility there has been
additional expansion in both the production and design &
development departments. This is to help facilitate the
launch and supply of several new exciting product developements
planned for 2007. We hope to see you for a demonstration
soon. |

IDL
have recently shipped 36 lanes of Fastlane Glasswing to
India. This order was one of the largest Fastlane orders
and also represents the largest amount of lanes for a "single
building" project undertaken with Fastlane in the last
15 years. "It's very rewarding to see Glasswing go
in to such large projects within a year of its launch, it
shows that the product is going to be a key part of our
product range in years to come." says Shane Naish Technical
Director. |

flies back from… ASIS |
Derek
Huff and Michael Bystram returned from ASIS in San Diego
after supporting our North American partner Smarter Security.
Smarter Security had 2 booths at ASIS, the leading trade
show for the American security industry. One booth was showcasing
Smarter Security’s range of perimeter products whilst
the other booth was dedicated to the Fastlane Entrance Control
range. |
A
new Fastlane plus W400 MA was shown at the exhibition for
the first time alongside a new prototype desk top controller
due for launch in early 2007. “The show, as ever,
was extremely successful and it was great to meet and discuss
projects with such a large number of security managers and
directors from blue chip companies alongside their integrator
partners. Attendees like to compare features of different
products at the show and this helped showcase Fastlane key
advantages over the competition in terms of security, speed
of throughput and lack of false alarms” said Derek
Huff. |
