The Supervisor 5000 by Chino, Calif.-based Alvarado is an optical turnstile, featuring 3.8-inch wide cabinets. The slim footprint takes up very little floor space and the use of clear barrier and side panels provides clear sightlines and the ability to blend into any design
The turnstile’s door-like, swinging barriers are controlled by quiet, powerful motors that open the barriers fast enough for rapidly moving pedestrians. Visual and audible prompts help guide users through the lanes quickly and efficiently, while the product’s detection capabilities help differentiate between an unauthorized pedestrian versus a cart.
