The company behind some of the UK's most exciting and dynamic interactive exhibition displays in visitor attractions and museums has brought to market QCounter - a fully automated, but low-cost, access control/people-counter system. Businesses emerging from lockdown restrictions must limit the number of people accessing a space or building to ensure the site remains COVID-safe and compliant with government regulations.
QCounter, based on a traffic light system, is a fully automated (without the need for any human operation), 'Plug n' Play' customer/visitor/staff counting system that manages and ensures the safe flow of people through spaces - thus ensuring organisations remain COVID-safe whilst fully operational.
QCounter provides the following functionality:
-
Fully automated - no staff/personnel remote control operation required (unlike other systems)
-
Ergonomic design
-
Large bright indication of status (based on traffic light system)
-
Integrated LCD information display
-
Easy-to-change number of people allowed

-
Portable and easy to mount to any standard retractable barrier post - no tools required
-
Both single and dual units versions available - works on one way system with separate in and out doors
-
Client-branded 'dashboard' webpage (for public visibility).
Operational benefits for client:
-
Compliance with COVID secure rules
-
Visual reassurance for customers/visitors/staff/guests
-

-
Webpage can be displayed on larger screen to further reassure compliance
