A New Standard for Smart Pedestrian Turnstiles is About to be Released

The rapid development of artificial intelligence has brought more possibilities to our future, and the intelligent life we ​​never imagined before is gradually becoming a reality. Currently, the concept of smart turnstiles is frequently seen. Unlike traditional door locks, they can be opened using biometric or new technological methods such as fingerprints, iris scans, Bluetooth, and apps, thus preventing the possibility of unauthorized lock picking and better protecting the property and personal safety of communities, scenic spots, schools, office buildings, etc.

It is precisely because of these advantages that this new industry, which started in the 1990s, has been able to gradually penetrate from B-end users to C-end users, riding the wave of smart homes. In fact, starting in the second half of 2015, smart pedestrian turnstiles entered a stage of rapid development, and experienced a full-scale explosion in 2017. The rapid development of the smart pedestrian turnstile industry has given hope to many traditional security companies, engineering companies, internet companies, and smart home companies, who have all invested in this emerging industry. While the smart pedestrian turnstile industry has prospered as a result, it has also given rise to the problem of chaotic industry standards.

Many consumers have noticed that when purchasing smart pedestrian turnstiles online, the same product can vary in price by thousands of yuan, and prices are frequently changed—for example, the price inquired about today may differ significantly from the price ordered a few days later. This is due to the lack of transparency in the industry's supply chain; there are no unified standards for identification types, password levels, chips, etc., allowing some companies to exploit loopholes.

In fact, the lack of unified standards has led to the increasing prevalence of substandard smart pedestrian turnstiles. Generally, high-quality smart pedestrian turnstiles use ARM control systems and brushless motors, offering a very high level of security and fast passage speeds.

Furthermore, plagiarism is rampant in the smart pedestrian turnstile industry. Many have noticed that numerous smart pedestrian turnstiles look almost identical, differing only in brand and price. This is because many vendors lack their own R&D teams and, in an attempt to capitalize on the emerging industry, simply slap their own brand onto contract manufacturers and sell their products. Even products from large companies are widely copied, causing considerable confusion for consumers and original manufacturers. At the same time, false advertising is also very common. Some businesses, in order to masquerade as international brands, acquire lock factories in Europe and America that are facing bankruptcy, and then, after a series of repackaging processes, transform them into century-old brands to satisfy consumers' psychological needs. Besides deceptive brand packaging, these businesses also exaggerate product functions and user experience. If substandard intelligent pedestrian access control gates are installed, both access management and personal safety will be threatened.

It is understood that the group standard for intelligent pedestrian access control gates has many highlights: This standard will fully protect consumers' legitimate rights and interests while promoting the healthy development of the entire industry, and will reflect consumer characteristics. To ensure that my country's intelligent pedestrian access control gates reach higher standards, key indicators will be aligned with international standards. In terms of supervision, the standard will reflect the characteristics of consumer social supervision, making the role of consumers more diversified; they can be both beneficiaries of the standard and supervisors and participants in its implementation. Furthermore, addressing concerns such as misidentification due to the lack of fingerprint image verification, "black box" access, lack of anti-copying capabilities for information identification cards, and password security issues, this standard will establish relevant guidelines to resolve these problems. Its implementation will not increase the burden on businesses and consumers, allowing both parties to enjoy the convenience brought by the standard.

As time goes by, intelligence has become an irreversible development trend. In the face of such an emerging industry, the timely emergence of standards can make the market more standardized, giving both businesses and consumers confidence. It is believed that in the near future, this new standard will provide a glimpse into the development direction of intelligent pedestrian access control gates, allowing consumers to enjoy a different life experience.
