dormakaba solution
Automatic entrance systems and the exos access management system not only direct foot traffic to and inside buildings, but also regulate access to sensitive areas. The airport company has relied on dormakaba business lounge egates for many years. Entrances to security zones with automatic boarding pass control systems are equipped with half-height dormakaba Argus HSB-M03 business lounge egates.
All requirements of a modern access management system are fulfilled
All entrances and exits for passengers and vehicles that require authorisation are monitored and controlled from the parking control centre. In this way, the airport company always knows which vehicles or pedestrians have entered non-public and security-relevant areas, and where they gained access.
Weatherproof perimeter security
All outdoor entrances to the airport are reliably secured by robust turnstiles from the Kentaur product range. They regulate staff access in combination with ID card readers.
Increased convenience for passengers in transit and transfer areas
The airport company has installed easy-access, barrier-free door solutions in a large number of transit and transfer areas in the arrivals and departures lounges. These solutions are implemented using dormakaba’s TS 93 door closer systems with EASY OPEN technology.
Another area of application for the TS 93 at Zürich airport is preventive fire protection. Doors that are open during standard operation and that ensure a smooth flow of traffic close in the event of fire to contain fire and smoke.
Entrances to customs areas meet innovative product design
The access readers merge discreetly and harmoniously into the architecture of the airport buildings. The readers and registration units secure and control access to various customs areas within the airport.
