Secure and efficient digital visitor management

Secure and efficient visitor management is characterised by fast and digital registration, evaluation of visitor numbers, automatic access control to the building and data protection-compliant recording of visitor processes. Wanzl Access Solutions, a specialist in fully automated access systems, is cooperating with the software specialist for security solutions ASTRUM IT GmbH to develop a holistic solution for the management of external persons – visitors, external companies and suppliers. Together, the two experts offer a perfect product combination with the V21 terminal and the Galaxy Gate 1.1 access gate from Wanzl and the VISIT visitor management software from ASTRUM IT. VISIT manages more than 4 million visitor processes worldwide every year, both in international corporations and medium-sized companies.

‘We see the collaboration with ASTRUM IT as an ideal addition to the Wanzl Access Solutions product portfolio. Visitors can register digitally and are automatically recorded in the system when they pass through our access gates, which means that staff can be deployed more efficiently and building security is increased at the same time,’ explains Ralf Aubele, Vice President Access Solutions at Wanzl. ‘For our customers, the partnership with Wanzl offers an ideal complete solution for the management of external persons – visitors, external companies and suppliers. Together, we can ensure greater security, automation, faster processes and digitalisation in a future-oriented way,’ adds Ingo Kauffmann, Director Security Technologies at ASTRUM IT.

Simplification through automation

Office complexes, hospitals, factories, banks and insurance companies – they all record a high number of visitors every day, regardless of the sector. To ensure that everything runs smoothly, access must be uncomplicated, fast and secure. Visitors, external company employees and suppliers should not feel controlled, but always welcome. To guarantee this, Wanzl offers the comprehensive Galaxy Gates 1.1 concept: the access gates are easy to operate, absolutely reliable and can be stylishly customised to the respective company CI. In combination with the interactive terminal V21 from Wanzl and the VISIT software from ASTRUM IT, visitor management can be controlled easily and autonomously.

Spontaneous visitors receive their access authorisation directly at the terminal after accepting the visitor conditions via the V21 monitor and receiving a security briefing. Depending on the visitor’s role and function, it is possible to assign individual authorisations and thus restrict access to protected areas of the building. To avoid waiting times, visitors can also register at home, in their office or while travelling. The Galaxy Gate 1.1 scans the personal QR code sent in advance. The software-monitored, electromotive toughened safety glass swing arms open immediately and guests can enter. For increased security, the Galaxy Gates 1.1 are equipped with integrated, intelligent sensor technology. This sensor technology recognises when a person attempts to gain unauthorised access. In addition, the visitor’s identity can be checked by scanning an ID document before entering the Galaxy Gate 1.1. This ensures smooth and secure access for visitors.

Optimisation through digitalisation

The VISIT visitor management software from ASTRUM IT ensures smooth processes in the background, from coordinating appointments to registration and leaving the building. For users, this means simplification and automation of visitor and delivery traffic management as well as the ability to digitise the entire visit process. With the help of the GDPR-compliant software, an overview of guests, external company employees and suppliers in the building or on the premises is maintained at all times and the duration of their presence is measured and documented. In other words: digital visitor management in real time. The perfectly coordinated products from Wanzl and ASTRUM IT enable companies to relieve their staff, avoid waiting times, optimise internal processes and increase site security.
