November 2023 - BarrierSystems delivers version 3 of SmartKits to its partner Consel for the first time





Source: BarrierSystems

11/08/2023 - Thanks to increased performance of the control unit, the new SmartKit enables the control of two separate groups of barrier systems, such as when controlling access to separate roadways, each of which is controlled via its own rules and access means. The new SmartKit has 16 inputs and 6 outputs as standard, but can be upgraded to up to 128 inputs and 16+ outputs or with additional sensors (such as a noise sensor) upon customer request. There is also a further optimized design, which further increases reliability. The new SmartKit is offered at the same price as before.

June 2023 - New customer City of Baden Baden - another project with the Consel Group




06/12/2023 - As part of a major project in Baden Baden, the Swiss barrier manufacturer Consel Group is installing 13 bollard systems that regulate access to various public spaces and facilities. There are special challenges, for example the carriages that drive through the popular health resort. A separate control extension was programmed for this, which evaluates separate lowering and raising signals via radio. The remote controls can be trained and managed individually via the BarrierSystems ControlHub, so that they can be switched off individually if necessary. Thanks to the smart access management system from BarrierSystems, the city of Baden Baden can control and parameterize the bollard systems via a cloud-based ControlHub.

May 2021 - Artificial intelligence in road traffic:
smart bollard in use in Karlsruhe




06/11/2021 - Karlsruhe (mcs) The circle in Karlsruhe city center has been designated as a bicycle street for several years. Nevertheless, numerous drivers have repeatedly tried to pass the road - conflicts between motorized traffic and cyclists are usually inevitable. For this reason, the circle at Karl-Friedrich-Straße was temporarily closed to cars with construction site elements in 2019. Because this closure is fixed and inflexible, the circle could no longer be used by emergency vehicles and residents. With the so-called “smart bollards”, the city has now developed an alternative and inaugurated it today. Source: Baden TV.

THE BARRIER SYSTEMS PLATFORM

The BARRIERSYSTEMS platform consists, on the one hand, of the SMART KIT for connecting all electrically controllable systems, which can be easily installed in new projects, but can also be easily and cost-effectively retrofitted for existing systems from all manufacturers. Additionally, compatible access sensors such as RFID readers (near and long range), license plate recognition, PIN pad, GSM module, etc. are connected to the SMART KIT which can be used to open the connected barrier system if authorization is valid.
The SMART KIT is also complemented by the CONTROL HUB, which can be used to display the status of all systems in a user-friendly web interface and to configure the systems including access authorizations remotely.

CONTROL HUB

Cloud-based dashboard with many features


All barrier systems are always in view and under control. The web-based BarrierSystems ControlHub serves as a control system for remote maintenance of the barrier systems and for visualizing the situation on site. For example, the system can be used to record the number of entrances or vehicles in an area and to evaluate traffic flow statistics. The BarrierSystems ControlHub also shows the current status of all barrier systems on an overview map.

SMART KIT

Cost-effective retrofit kit for existing systems


In addition to complete systems, existing systems can also be integrated into the BarrierSystems solution thanks to our flexible and modular concept. If you already have an electronically controllable system, you can use our BarrierSystems SmartKit to subsequently digitize all commercially available, electrically controllable systems such as barriers, bollards and gates, regardless of the manufacturer, and connect them to the cloud-based BarrierSystems ControlHub. This makes it possible to get started with smart access management cost-effectively.
