Product Selection

When it comes to selecting the correct product Evolve believes that it is not as simply as looking at one manufacturers list of products, it about undertaking a study of the end users operational requirement, the building layout, security and safety requirements. Once you understand these you can then select the most suitable product for the end user.

Evolves technical team is always on hand to help its partners pick the most suitable product, even if it ’s not Evolves. By doing this we learn about the latest market trends and what the end user actual needs.

Product Selection Selecting the most suitable product should begin at the initial design stage. The specifier should work with the end user, the system integrators and the manufacturer or its approved distributors. Design Stage It is particularly important for the specifier to establish the end user operational requirements such as:

• The volume of pedestrian traffic at different times of the day.

• The type of pedestrian traffic, such as the elderly, the infirm, disabled persons, parents with pushchairs and young children.

• The level of security and safety required.

• Risks posed by breaches of security and terrorist threats.

• The level of equipment abuse.

• Knowledgebase of security products available.

Selecting the most suitable product should begin at the initial design stage. The specifier should work with the end user, the system integrators and the manufacturer or its approved distributors.

All businesses have to protect their employees and assets whilst allowing people to move freely in the areas that they need to. In todays world business also need to consider social distancing, face coverings, hand cleaning and body screening.

When it comes to protecting people and premises, equipment specifiers need to be sure the equipment they specify meet the needs of the end user and the modern -day working environment. A good approach is to work with a local systems integrator or installer, who is not tied to one manufacturer. They will in turn be able to call on the experience of a number of manufacturers giving a wider knowledgebase of products available, help find the best solution for the end users budget and security needs.

There are many elements that must come together to make up a comprehensive security plan for pedestrian access, such as: -

• A strong secure perimeter with a limited number of access points into a building.

• Controlled access of all people and vehicles.

• Heightened security measures for areas containing particularly sensitive items and/or key operational equipment, records, documents, etc.

• Visitor badges.

• Visitor entry/ escort procedures, and

• Emergency lockdown drills.

Appropriate authority, such as:

• Escorting visitors from the point of entry.

• Passing through a physical barriers such as locked doors, security turnstile or gates,

• Access control management system.
