Gunnebos PasSec entrance control important for Schengen arrivals

Gunnebo's PasSec entrance control - important for Schengen arrivals At very short notice, Gunnebo Entrance Control AB has delivered its PasSec entrance control system for one-way control of passengers at Sweden's international airports. The first systems have already been installed at Stockholm Arlanda and Göteborg Landvetter, and further systems will be installed at other international airports in Sweden in the coming months. PasSec systems, which have been in use for some time at international airports in France, have been developed jointly by Gunnebo Entrance Control, France and the French equivalent to Sweden's Civil Aviation Authority. The entrance control systems provide an effective means of preventing passengers from returning to the arrivals lounge, in which arriving passengers covered by the Schengen agreement are mixed with passengers of other nationalities. The total market in Sweden is estimated to be worth some MSEK 3-4, while the potential market throughout the rest of Europe is believed to be worth MSEK 150. PasSec is manufactured by Gunnebo Entrance Control's Italian subsidiary Gunnebo Italdis. The system has two active components: a motor-driven, full-height double door, and two waist-height gates controlled by an optical detection system provide a very secure means of preventing passengers from exiting in the wrong direction and re-entering the arrivals lounge. PasSec has numerous advantages: it takes very little space, it can be assembled quickly, and it can allow as many as 50 passengers to pass through every minute. Other places where this type of entrance control system can be used include sports arenas, experience centres and public transport systems.
