Problem
Municipalities and industrial sites often rely on legacy barrier and gate systems that lack remote control, integration with modern IT infrastructures, and automated vehicle verification, leading to inefficient access management and security gaps.
Solution
BarrierSystems offers a manufacturer‑independent, retrofit‑ready access management platform that upgrades existing barriers, bollards, and gates with its SmartKit hardware. The cloud‑based ControlHub provides a centralized dashboard for real‑time status monitoring, remote opening/closing, time‑based permissions, and fault detection. Integrated AI‑driven vehicle recognition automatically grants access to authorized plates while denying unauthorized traffic. An open API enables seamless connection to visitor‑management, ERP, and other enterprise systems, and on‑premise deployments are available for high‑security environments.
Target Audience
Primary customers are city administrations, industrial parks, and large enterprises that need to modernize existing access barriers while maintaining compatibility with their current infrastructure.
