In today’s fast-paced world, balancing heightened security with the need for swift, efficient access is a growing challenge. Traditional access control systems, with their gates and turnstiles, often create bottlenecks, slowing down human traffic and hampering productivity. As the number of employees, visitors, and contractors increases, these limitations become more apparent. The recent surge in travel activity, known as 'revenge travel,' has further compounded these issues, flooding airports and event venues with travellers and making efficient management even more critical.
How can we significantly boost throughput without compromising security? Enter the innovative concepts of Gateless Access and Identification-On-The-Move (IOTM). These solutions reimagine entry points, allowing for seamless, high-volume access while maintaining rigorous identification and security standards.
Introducing What They Are
Gateless Access
Imagine walking into an airport or a stadium without having to stop at any gates. That’s Gateless Access in action. Particularly relevant in the post-COVID-19 era, it allows mass access without the need for physical gates. When the system detects an unidentified individual, security personnel are notified to take appropriate action.
Identification On-The-Move (IOTM)
Identification On-The-Move differs slightly. It uses gates that close only when an unidentified person is detected. This technology modernises access control in high-traffic environments, facilitating safe and efficient movement.
The Technology Behind These Solutions
Technological Backbone
Gateless Access and IOTM leverages advanced technologies like facial recognition algorithms and multi-modal biometrics. These technologies work together seamlessly to provide secure access without traditional barriers.
Evolution of Access Control
We’ve come a long way from manual checks and physical barriers. Automated, biometric-based systems represent a significant evolution, with Gateless Access being the latest advancement in this field.
Benefits to the Public and Businesses
Enhanced Efficiency
Both Gateless Access and IOTM significantly reduce wait times and improve the flow of people through various checkpoints. For instance, airports can experience smoother check-in and boarding processes, making travel less stressful.
Improved Security
With advanced biometrics, security is enhanced as only authorised individuals gain entry, thus reducing security risks.
User Experience
No one likes standing in lines. The user experience improves dramatically when barriers and queues are eliminated, allowing for a smoother, faster process.
Crowd Management
These technologies excel in managing large crowds, reducing congestion, and improving the flow of people in high-traffic areas.
Where Can It Be Used Today?
Airports
Gateless Access and IOTM streamline check-in and boarding processes, enhancing both security and passenger convenience.

Corporate Buildings and Campuses
These technologies ensure secure entry for employees and students, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
Hospitals
In hospitals, quick and secure entry for medical staff and authorised visitors is crucial, especially in emergency situations.
Event Venues and Stadiums
Quick and safe entry for attendees at large venues improves the overall event experience.
Potential Applications
The applications for Gateless Access and IOTM are vast. Airports and immigration checkpoints can streamline passenger flow while maintaining strict security protocols, reducing queues and wait times, and integrating seamlessly with existing security measures. In commercial office buildings, these technologies enable swift entry for employees and registered visitors, enhance security without impeding daily operations, and provide valuable data on building occupancy and usage patterns.
Event venues such as concerts and sports stadiums benefit from rapid admission for large crowds, improved crowd management, and security, with potential integration with ticketing systems for fraud prevention. Public transportation hubs can leverage these technologies for contactless, efficient passenger verification, reducing congestion during peak hours and enhancing overall transit system security. Shopping malls, residential buildings, and smart city initiatives also stand to gain from the seamless access experiences provided by Gateless Access and IOTM.
