In order to stop the spread of Covid-19 and new variants, our Covid-19 Traffic Lights Access Control Systems use proven industrial style sensors to count how many people have passed through a doorway and automatically set the visual traffic light to RED to prevent more people entering.

When a person leaves through the doorway, the light is set back to GREEN automatically.

Optional audio clips can be played to remind customers to use face mask and socially distance. In addition, audio clips for toilets can remind customers to wash their hands.

Take a look below at some examples of our access control systems in use already.

Traffic Light Systems In Use

Below are some examples of our Traffic Light Systems in use.
If you know of a business that might benefit from our system, please let us know  at sales@automation4.com.

Plantiecrub Garden Centre, Shetland

 Traffic Lights Access Control Systems - Garden Centres

Designed to help with social distancing at their garden centre automatically - previously they had a member of staff on the gate counting customers in and out but this was not sustainable.

They had looked at several systems on the market, but the other options were very expensive, and crucially not waterproof. Whereas as our system IS waterproof - perfect for outdoor use.

The system was shipped to the Shetlands and installed themselves - dead easy! Access control sorted!

The Dale Stores, Birstwith, Harrogate

This local village shop have installed a revised version of our new Portable Traffic Light Access Control System.

It gives a visual indication of whether the customer can proceed into the shop or to wait outside until somebody leaves.

The customisable audio clip asks customers to observe the traffic lights, reminds them to wear a mask and sanitise their hands. Three people are allowed in the shop at any one time. The traffic lights indicate whether the customer can proceed inside or should wait. The system has a remote control which can override the automated system, should this be required.

This system has been a real success and given local people the confidence to shop locally and safely.

Simon Graeme Auto Centre, Hampsthwaite nr Harrogate

This local garage and service centre have installed a Portable Traffic Light Access Control Systems to manage the number of people coming in and out of their reception and help prevent the spread of COVID 19.

This example is hard wired and gives a visual indication of whether anyone is already in reception or otherwise.

There is also a customisable audio clip which reminds customers to wear a mask and sanitise their hands and that only one person at a time is allowed in reception. 

The traffic lights indicate whether you can proceed inside or wait until the current customer leaves. This frees up having to have a member of staff on the door doing the same job, saving you time and money.

Can be configured in many ways to suit your business.
