OpenGate Weapons Systems Benefits
OPENGATE is revolutionizing security screening with its innovative, fully open, active walk-through detection system, uniquely composed of two freestanding pillars without mechanical or electrical connections.
Unlike traditional metal detector gates, OPENGATE® offers unparalleled portability and elegance, requiring no installation, adjustment, or assembly procedures. Its proprietary arch-free design and embedded electronics eliminate the necessity for a crossbar, allowing for seamless operation.
The system features signals at the top of the pillars for real-time status and alarm indications, which remain visible even in direct sunlight.
Powered by either lithium-ion batteries or a standard 110v wall outlet, OPENGATE® is highly versatile, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use across various high-traffic locations like stadiums, theme parks, hospitals, museums, theaters, and transportation hubs.
With extremely high throughput and an integrated high-precision transit counter, it ensures faster screening of individuals carrying bags, backpacks, and purses.
Weighing only 25 pounds and boasting a setup time of less than one minute, OPENGATE® is exceptionally easy to relocate and install. Detection and signaling parameters can be conveniently configured via the OPENGATE® App, which is compatible with Android and iOS devices.
