Scan the online brochures of companies who sell workplace monitoring tech and you’d think the average American worker was a renegade poised to take their employer down at the next opportunity. “Nearly half of US employees admit to time theft!” “Biometric readers for enhanced accuracy!” “Offer staff benefits in a controlled way with Vending Machine Access!”

A new wave of return-to-office mandates has arrived since the New Year, including at JP Morgan Chase, leading advertising agency WPP, and Amazon—not to mention President Trump’s late January directive to the heads of federal agencies to “terminate remote work arrangements and require employees to return to work in-person … on a full-time basis.” Five years on from the pandemic, when the world showed how effectively many roles could be performed remotely or flexibly, what’s caused the sudden change of heart?

“There’s two things happening,” says global industry analyst Josh Bersin, who is based in California. “The economy is actually slowing down, so companies are hiring less. So there is a trend toward productivity in general, and then AI has forced virtually every company to reallocate resources toward AI projects.

“The expectation amongst CEOs is that’s going to eliminate a lot of jobs. A lot of these back-to-work mandates are due to frustration that both of those initiatives are hard to measure or hard to do when we don’t know what people are doing at home.”

The question is, what exactly are we returning to?

Take any consumer tech buzzword of the 21st century and chances are it’s already being widely used across the US to monitor time, attendance and, in some cases, the productivity of workers, in sectors such as manufacturing, retail, and fast food chains: RFID badges, GPS time clock apps, NFC apps, QR code clocking-in, Apple Watch badges, and palm, face, eye, voice, and finger scanners. Biometric scanners have long been sold to companies as a way to avoid hourly workers “buddy punching” for each other at the start and end of shifts—so-called “time theft.” A return-to-office mandate and its enforcement opens the door for similar scenarios for salaried staff.

Track and Trace

The latest, deluxe end point of these time and attendance tchotchkes and apps is something like Austin-headquartered HID’s OmniKey platform. Designed for factories, hospitals, universities and offices, this is essentially an all-encompassing RFID log-in and security system for employees, via smart cards, smartphone wallets, and wearables. These will not only monitor turnstile entrances, exits, and floor access by way of elevators but also parking, the use of meeting rooms, the cafeteria, printers, lockers, and yes, vending machine access.

These technologies, and more sophisticated worker location- and behavior-tracking systems, are expanding from blue-collar jobs to pink-collar industries and even white-collar office settings. Depending on the survey, approximately 70 to 80 percent of large US employers now use some form of employee monitoring, and the likes of PwC have explicitly told workers that managers will be tracking their location to enforce a three-day office week policy.

“Several of these earlier technologies, like RFID sensors and low-tech barcode scanners, have been used in manufacturing, in warehouses, or in other settings for some time,” says Wolfie Christl, a researcher of workplace surveillance for Cracked Labs, a nonprofit based in Vienna, Austria. “We’re moving toward the use of all kinds of sensor data, and this kind of technology is certainly now moving into the offices. However, I think for many of these, it’s questionable whether they really make sense there.”

What’s new, at least to the recent pandemic age of hybrid working, is the extent to which workers can now be tracked inside office buildings. Cracked Labs published a frankly terrifying 25-page case study report in November 2024 showing how systems of wireless networking, motion sensors, and Bluetooth beacons, whether intentionally or as a byproduct of their capabilities, can provide “behavioral monitoring and profiling” in office settings.

The project breaks the tech down into two categories: The first is technology that tracks desk presence and room occupancy, and the second monitors the indoor location, movement, and behavior of the people working inside the building.

To start with desk and room occupancy, Spacewell offers a mix of motion sensors installed under desks, in ceilings, and at doorways in “office spaces” and heat sensors and low-resolution visual sensors to show which desks and rooms are being used. Both real-time and trend data are available to managers via its “live data floorplan,” and the sensors also capture temperature, environmental, light intensity, and humidity data.

The Swiss-headquartered Locatee, meanwhile, uses existing badge and device data via Wi-Fi and LAN to continuously monitor clocking in and clocking out, time spent by workers at desks and on specific floors, and the number of hours and days spent by employees at the office per week. While the software displays aggregate rather than individual personal employee data to company executives, the Cracked Labs report points out that Locatee offers a segmented team analytics report which “reveals data on small groups.”

As more companies return to the office, the interest in this idea of “optimized” working spaces is growing fast. According to S&S Insider’s early 2025 analysis, the connected office was worth $43 billion in 2023 and will grow to $122.5 billion by 2032. Alongside this, IndustryARC predicts there will be a $4.5 billion employee-monitoring-technology market, mostly in North America, by 2026—the only issue being that the crossover between the two is blurry at best.

At the end of January, Logitech showed off its millimeter-wave radar Spot sensors, which are designed to allow employers to monitor whether rooms are being used and which rooms in the building are used the most. A Logitech rep told The Verge that the peel-and-stick devices, which also monitor VOCs, temperature, and humidity, could theoretically estimate the general placement of people in a meeting room.

As Christl explains, because of the functionality that these types of sensor-based systems offer, there is the very real possibility of a creep from legitimate applications, such as managing energy use, worker health and safety, and ensuring sufficient office resources into more intrusive purposes.

“For me, the main issue is that if companies use highly sensitive data like tracking the location of employees’ devices and smartphones indoors or even use motion detectors indoors,” he says, “then there must be totally reliable safeguards that this data is not being used for any other purposes.”

Big Brother Is Watching

This warning becomes even more pressing where workers’ indoor location, movement, and behavior are concerned. Cisco’s Spaces cloud platform has digitized 11 billion square feet of enterprise locations, producing 24.7 trillion location data points. The Spaces system is used by more than 8,800 businesses worldwide and is deployed by the likes of InterContinental Hotels Group, WeWork, the NHS Foundation, and San Jose State University, according to Cisco’s website.

While it has applications for retailers, restaurants, hotels, and event venues, many of its features are designed to function in office environments, including meeting room management and occupancy monitoring. Spaces is designed as a comprehensive, all-seeing eye into how employees (and customers and visitors, depending on the setting) and their connected devices, equipment, or “assets” move through physical spaces.

Cisco has achieved this by using its existing wireless infrastructure and combining data from Wi-Fi access points with Bluetooth tracking. Spaces offers employers both real-time views and historical data dashboards. The use cases? Everything from meeting-room scheduling and optimizing cleaning schedules to more invasive dashboards on employees’ entry and exit times, the duration of staff workdays, visit durations by floor, and other “behavior metrics.” This includes those related to performance, a feature pitched at manufacturing sites.

Some of these analytics use aggregate data, but Cracked Labs details how Spaces goes beyond this into personal data, with device usernames and identifiers that make it possible to single out individuals. While the ability to protect privacy by using MAC randomization is there, Cisco emphasizes that this makes indoor movement analytics “unreliable” and other applications impossible—leaving companies to make that decision themselves.

Management even has the ability to send employees nudge-style alerts based on their location in the building. An IBM application, based on Cisco’s underlying technology, offers to spot anomalies in occupancy patterns and send notifications to workers or their managers based on what it finds. Cisco’s Spaces can also incorporate video footage from Cisco security cameras and WebEx video conferencing hardware into the overall system of indoor movement monitoring; another example of function creep from security to employee tracking in the workplace.

“Cisco is simply everywhere. As soon as employers start to repurpose data that is being collected from networking or IT infrastructure, this quickly becomes very dangerous, from my perspective.” says Christl. “With this kind of indoor location tracking technology based on its Wi-Fi networks, I think that a vendor as major as Cisco has a responsibility to ensure it doesn’t suggest or market solutions that are really irresponsible to employers.

“I would consider any productivity and performance tracking very problematic when based on this kind of intrusive behavioral data.” WIRED approached Cisco for comment but didn’t receive a response before publication.

Cisco isn't alone in this, though. Similar to Spaces, Juniper’s Mist offers an indoor tracking system that uses both Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth beacons to locate people, connected devices, and Bluetooth tagged badges on a real-time map, with the option of up to 13 months of historical data on worker behavior.

Juniper’s offering, for workplaces including offices, hospitals, manufacturing sites, and retailers, is so precise that it is able to provide records of employees’ device names, together with the exact enter and exit times and duration of visits between “zones” in offices—including one labeled “break area/kitchen” in a demo. Yikes.

For each of these systems, a range of different applications is functionally possible, and some which raise labor-law concerns. “A worst-case scenario would be that management wants to fire someone and then starts looking into historical records trying to find some misconduct,” says Christl. "If it’s necessary to investigate employees, then there should be a procedure where, for example, a worker representative is looking into the fine-grained behavioral data together with management. This would be another safeguard to prevent misuse.”

Above and Beyond?

If warehouse-style tracking has the potential for management overkill in office settings, it makes even less sense in service and health care jobs, and American unions are now pushing for more access to data and quotas used in disciplinary action. Elizabeth Anderson, professor of public philosophy at the University of Michigan and the author of Private Government: How Employers Rule Our Lives, describes how black-box algorithm-driven management and monitoring affects not just the day-to-day of nursing staff but also their sense of work and value.

“Surveillance and this idea of time theft, it’s all connected to this idea of wasting time,” she explains. “Essentially all relational work is considered inefficient. In a memory care unit, for example, the system will say how long to give a patient breakfast, how many minutes to get them dressed, and so forth.

“Maybe an Alzheimer’s patient is frightened, so a nurse has to spend some time calming them down, or perhaps they have lost some ability overnight. That’s not one of the discrete physical tasks that can be measured. Most of the job is helping that person cope with declining faculties; it takes time for that, for people to read your emotions and respond appropriately. What you get is massive moral injury with this notion of efficiency.”

This kind of monitoring extends to service workers, including servers in restaurants and cleaning staff, according to a 2023 Cracked Labs’ report into retail and hospitality. Software developed by Oracle is used to, among other applications, rate and rank servers based on speed, sales, timekeeping around breaks, and how many tips they receive. Similar Oracle software that monitors mobile workers such as housekeepers and cleaners in hotels uses a timer for app-based micromanagement—for instance, “you have two minutes for this room, and there are four tasks.”

As Christl explains, this simply doesn’t work in practice. “People have to struggle to combine what they really do with this kind of rigid, digital system. And it’s not easy to standardize work like talking to patients and other kinds of affective work, like how friendly you are as a waiter. This is a major problem. These systems cannot represent the work that is being done accurately.”

But can knowledge work done in offices ever be effectively measured and assessed either? In an episode of his podcast in January, host Ezra Klein battled his own feelings about having many of his best creative ideas at a café down the street from where he lives rather than in The New York Times’ Manhattan offices. Anderson agrees that creativity often has to find its own path.

“Say there’s a webcam tracking your eyes to make sure you’re looking at the screen,” she says. “We know that daydreaming a little can actually help people come up with creative ideas. Just letting your mind wander is incredibly useful for productivity overall, but that requires some time looking around or out the window. The software connected to your camera is saying you’re off-duty—that you’re wasting time. Nobody’s mind can keep concentrated for the whole work day, but you don’t even want that from a productivity point of view.”

Even for roles where it might make more methodological sense to track discrete physical tasks, there can be negative consequences of nonstop monitoring. Anderson points to a scene in Erik Gandini’s 2023 documentary After Work that shows an Amazon delivery driver who is monitored, via camera, for their driving, delivery quotas, and even getting dinged for using Spotify in the van.

“It’s very tightly regulated and super, super intrusive, and it’s all based on distrust as the starting point,” she says. “What these tech bros don’t understand is that if you install surveillance technology, which is all about distrusting the workers, there is a deep feature of human psychology that is reciprocity. If you don’t trust me, I’m not going to trust you. You think an employee who doesn’t trust the boss is going to be working with the same enthusiasm? I don’t think so.”

Trust Issues

The fixes, then, might be in the leadership itself, not more data dashboards. “Our research shows that excessive monitoring in the workplace can damage trust, have a negative impact on morale, and cause stress and anxiety,” says Hayfa Mohdzaini, senior policy and practice adviser for technology at the CIPD, the UK’s professional body for HR, learning, and development. “Employers might achieve better productivity by investing in line manager training and ensuring employees feel supported with reasonable expectations around office attendance and manageable workloads.”

A 2023 Pew Research study found that 56 percent of US workers were opposed to the use of AI to keep track of when employees were at their desks, and 61 percent were against tracking employees’ movements while they work.

This dropped to just 51 percent of workers who were opposed to recording work done on company computers, through the use of a kind of corporate “spyware” often accepted by staff in the private sector. As Josh Bersin puts it, “Yes, the company can read your emails” with platforms such as Teramind, even including “sentiment analysis” of employee messages.

Snooping on files, emails, and digital chats takes on new significance when it comes to government workers, though. New reporting from WIRED, based on conversations with employees at 13 federal agencies, reveals the extent to Elon Musk’s DOGE team’s surveillance: software including Google’s Gemini AI chatbot, a Dynatrace extension, and security tool Splunk have been added to government computers in recent weeks, and some people have felt they can’t speak freely on recorded and transcribed Microsoft Teams calls. Various agencies already use Everfox software and Dtex’s Intercept system, which generates individual risk scores for workers based on websites and files accessed.

Alongside mass layoffs and furloughs over the past four weeks, the so-called Department of Government Efficiency has also, according to CBS News and NPR reports, gone into multiple agencies in February with the theater and bombast of full X-ray security screenings replacing entry badges at Washington, DC, headquarters. That’s alongside managers telling staff that their logging in and out of devices, swiping in and out of workspaces, and all of their digital work chats will be “closely monitored” going forward.

“Maybe they’re trying to make a big deal out of it to scare people right now,” says Bersin. “The federal government is using back-to-work as an excuse to lay off a bunch of people.”

DOGE staff have reportedly even added keylogger software to government computers to track everything employees type, with staff concerned that anyone using keywords related to progressive thinking or "disloyalty” to Trump could be targeted—not to mention the security risks it introduces for those working on sensitive projects. As one worker told NPR, it feels “Soviet-style” and “Orwellian” with “nonstop monitoring.” Anderson describes the overall DOGE playbook as a series of “deeply intrusive invasions of privacy.”

Alternate Realities

But what protections are out there for employees? Certain states, such as New York and Illinois, do offer strong privacy protections against, for example, unnecessary biometric tracking in the private sector, and California’s Consumer Privacy Act covers workers as well as consumers. Overall, though, the lack of federal-level labor law in this area makes the US something of an alternate reality to what is legal in the UK and Europe.

The Electronic Communications Privacy Act in the US allows employee monitoring for legitimate business reasons and with the worker’s consent. In Europe, Algorithm Watch has made country analyses for workplace surveillance in the UK, Italy, Sweden, and Poland. To take one high-profile example of the stark difference: In early 2024, Serco was ordered by the UK's privacy watchdog, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), to stop using face recognition and fingerprint scanning systems, designed by Shopworks, to track the time and attendance of 2,000 staff across 38 leisure centers around the country. This new guidance led to more companies reviewing or cutting the technology altogether, including Virgin Active, which pulled similar biometric employee monitoring systems from 30-plus sites.

Despite a lack of comprehensive privacy rights in the US, though, worker protest, union organizing, and media coverage can provide a firewall against some office surveillance schemes. Unions such as the Service Employees International Union are pushing for laws to protect workers from black-box algorithms dictating the pace of output.

In December, Boeing scrapped a pilot of employee monitoring at offices in Missouri and Washington, which was based on a system of infrared motion sensors and VuSensor cameras installed in ceilings, made by Ohio-based Avuity. The U-turn came after a Boeing employee leaked an internal PowerPoint presentation on the occupancy- and headcount-tracking technology to The Seattle Times. In a matter of weeks, Boeing confirmed that managers would remove all the sensors that had been installed to date.

Under-desk sensors, in particular, have received high-profile backlash, perhaps because they are such an obvious piece of surveillance hardware rather than simply software designed to record work done on company machines. In the fall of 2022, students at Northeastern University hacked and removed under-desk sensors produced by EnOcean, offering “presence detection” and “people counting,” that had been installed in the school’s Interdisciplinary Science & Engineering Complex. The university provost eventually informed students that the department had planned to use the sensors with the Spaceti platform to optimize desk usage.

OccupEye (now owned by FM: Systems), another type of under-desk heat and motion sensor, received a similar reaction from staff at Barclays Bank and The Telegraph newspaper in London, with employees protesting and, in some cases, physically removing the devices that tracked the time they spent away from their desks.

Despite the fallout, Barclays later faced a $1.1 billion fine from the ICO when it was found to have deployed Sapience’s employee monitoring software in its offices, with the ability to single out and track individual employees. Perhaps unsurprisingly in the current climate, that same software company now offers “lightweight device-level technology” to monitor return-to-office policy compliance, with a dashboard breaking employee location down by office versus remote for specific departments and teams.

According to Elizabeth Anderson’s latest book Hijacked, while workplace surveillance culture and the obsession with measuring employee efficiency might feel relatively new, it can actually be traced back to the invention of the “work ethic” by the Puritans in the 16th and 17th centuries.

“They thought you should be working super hard; you shouldn’t be idling around when you should be in work,” she says. “You can see some elements there that can be developed into a pretty hostile stance toward workers. The Puritans were obsessed with not wasting time. It was about gaining assurance of salvation through your behavior. With the Industrial Revolution, the ‘no wasting time’ became a profit-maximizing strategy. Now you’re at work 24/7 because they can get you on email.”

Some key components of the original work ethic, though, have been skewed or lost over time. The Puritans also had strict constraints on what duties employers had toward their workers: paying a living wage and providing safe and healthy working conditions.

“You couldn’t just rule them tyrannically, or so they said. You had to treat them as your fellow Christians, with dignity and respect. In many ways the original work ethic was an ethic which uplifted workers.”

Week 1: Classes Begin & Family Visits

I’ve been here in Shanghai for a little over a week, and there’s so much I’ve done, and still so much to do!

Classes:

Classes have begun at Shanghai Jiao Tong University; I’m taking two courses or 8 units, so I have class every day. To me, the classes move pretty fast compared to semesters at UMich and contain a lot of content per lecture, so they still feel pretty substantial despite being only 2 hours of my entire day. I’m taking Linear Algebra and Data Mining, and while the first homework assignment hasn’t been released or assigned yet, I still feel as if I have a lot of catching up to do and studying that could be done to further solidify my understanding of the material. I’ve been visiting the library near my class buildings every now and then after my classes to review some concepts we went over in lecture. There’s even a cafe inside the library, but I haven’t had time to check it out yet.

With regards to entry, every gate onto campus has a security system in which you have to scan a “Siyuan” QR code to enter. This is the same QR code that we use to purchase meals at the canteens around campus, and there’s also a similar QR code turnstile at the entrance of the library. Suffice to say, it feels pretty safe and secure walking around on campus, even at night when I wanted to go for a bike ride to the souvenir shop or wandered around campus with my parents when they visited (spoiler!).

Food:

I think I’ll let the following pictures of food speak for themselves. There’s such a huge variety, and everything is so affordable! From soup dumplings to spicy noodles to hot pot to lamb skewers, from street food to sit down restaurants to the canteen, I think being able to try out all the different ways of preparing Chinese food has been a highlight of my trip so far.

Family Visits:

One of the most exciting parts of the last week was reuniting with my cousin in Shanghai! The last time we saw each other was approximately 6 or 7 years ago, when he was still in college and I was still in middle school. This time, we went around downtown Shanghai together (which was still about an hour drive away) to buy some essentials from Sam’s Club (like Costco) and eat some yummy Sichuan food. The next day, right after my morning linear algebra lecture, we went to the Shanghai Disney Resort! The rides are all relatively tame compared to Disneyland in Anaheim, California, but they were still incredibly fun. We went on a Monday, so the lines were of a shorter wait time (still 30-60 mins), and our favorite ride was the TRON motorcycle race ride.

Additionally, my mother and father landed in Shanghai a few days ago, and we spent an evening wandering around campus together, even visiting an autonomous robotics laboratory on SJTU’s campus together. We also grabbed some quick Jixiang wontons for dinner, and finished it off with Mixue’s ¥3 Ice Cream! My parents will be visiting Huangshan the next week, but stay tuned as there will be more adventures with them coming soon!

Weather and Exploration

Lastly, my friends and I have been doing a solid amount of exploration. We’ve visited and shopped around the Nanjing Road, explored Tianzifang, and recently visited the 1933 Shanghai Slaughterhouse today. Yesterday, the STJU-JI organized a program-wide tour around Shanghai, which included a tour around Yuyuan Garden, the general shopping and street food area nearby, and a visit to the 118, 119, and 126th floors of the Shanghai Tower. This was an incredibly eventful day!

That’s all for a brief overview of my past week. Thanks for tuning in!

Turnstile Barrier Gates in Bangladesh: Ensuring Security and Efficient Access Control

In Bangladesh, the demand for efficient access control and enhanced security has been rising across various sectors, including commercial spaces, industrial zones, public transportation hubs, and private facilities. One of the most effective solutions for regulating entry and exit in these environments is the use of turnstile barrier gates. These gates play a vital role in controlling pedestrian flow, enhancing security, and providing a seamless user experience in places where monitoring of people entering and exiting is essential.

What is a Turnstile Barrier Gate?

A turnstile barrier gate is a mechanical gate or electronic-controlled system designed to control pedestrian movement, typically by allowing access to one person at a time. These systems are often installed at the entry and exit points of secure premises, where they only permit authorized individuals to pass. The gates are equipped with a rotating barrier arm or a sliding mechanism that grants or denies access based on verification systems such as ID cards, biometric scanners, tokens, or tickets.

Turnstiles are commonly used in high-traffic areas such as metro stations, airports, office buildings, stadiums, and amusement parks. In Bangladesh, turnstile barriers are increasingly being implemented to address the challenges of controlling access to restricted areas while enhancing operational efficiency.

Types of Turnstile Barrier Gates in Bangladesh

There are several types of turnstile barrier gates used across different sectors in Bangladesh, each designed for specific needs and environments. Some of the most commonly deployed types include:

Tripod Turnstiles: These are one of the most widely used types of turnstile gates. Tripod turnstiles feature three rotating arms that allow only one person to pass at a time. Tripod turnstiles are cost-effective, compact, and suitable for locations where moderate security and access control are needed, such as office lobbies, schools, and gymnasiums.

Full-Height Turnstiles: Full-height turnstiles are designed to offer high-security levels. These gates stand tall, usually from floor to ceiling, ensuring that no one can jump or climb over them. They are often installed in places where maximum security is required, such as government buildings, industrial facilities, or data centers.

Swing Barrier Turnstiles: Swing barrier turnstiles consist of retractable barriers that swing open and close to allow access. These turnstiles can be bi-directional and are often integrated with modern access control systems such as facial recognition, RFID, or QR code scanners. Swing turnstiles are particularly popular in locations where smooth, touchless access is desired, such as airports, corporate buildings, and hospitals.

Speed Gates: Speed gates are high-end turnstile barriers known for their sleek, modern designs and fast throughput. They are often installed in corporate offices, luxury hotels, and other high-profile establishments in Bangladesh where both aesthetics and security are prioritized. The glass or metal panels retract quickly to allow users to pass, providing efficient access management.

Optical Turnstiles: Optical turnstiles are barrier-free systems that use infrared sensors to detect and count the number of people passing through. They do not have physical barriers, making them suitable for high-traffic areas where throughput speed is essential. These gates are ideal for locations such as universities, large office buildings, and shopping malls.

Importance of Turnstile Barrier Gates in Bangladesh

As Bangladesh experiences rapid urbanization and industrial growth, managing security risks and maintaining operational efficiency have become critical concerns. Turnstile barrier gates address these challenges by offering the following benefits:

Enhanced Security: Turnstile barrier gates significantly reduce the chances of unauthorized entry. By requiring authentication (ID cards, biometric data, etc.), these gates ensure that only individuals with proper clearance can enter restricted areas.

Controlled Pedestrian Flow: Turnstile gates help manage high volumes of pedestrian traffic by controlling the flow of people into and out of buildings or facilities. This prevents bottlenecks, especially during peak hours, and allows for a smoother entry process.

Data Collection and Monitoring: Turnstiles often work in tandem with modern access control systems, allowing facility managers to collect data on the number of people entering and exiting. This information can be used for security audits, attendance management, or analyzing visitor patterns.

Cost-Effective Solution: Turnstile barrier gates offer a cost-effective means of managing security, as they reduce the need for a large number of security personnel. They provide continuous monitoring of entry points and help ensure that security protocols are followed.

Applications of Turnstile Barrier Gates in Bangladesh

Turnstile gates are being adopted in a wide range of industries and locations throughout Bangladesh, such as:

Corporate Offices: To secure business premises and track employee attendance.

Industrial Zones: For ensuring that only authorized personnel gain access to manufacturing plants, warehouses, or restricted operational areas.

Public Transport: Turnstiles are commonly seen in metro stations and bus terminals for ticket validation and crowd control.

Healthcare Facilities: Hospitals and clinics use turnstile gates to manage the flow of patients and staff, especially in areas where access to sensitive equipment or data is restricted.

Challenges and Future Prospects

Although turnstile barrier gates provide numerous advantages, there are some challenges to their adoption in Bangladesh, particularly in terms of maintenance and integration with outdated infrastructure. Ensuring proper installation, reliable power supply, and regular servicing are critical for the smooth functioning of these systems.

As technology continues to evolve, turnstile barrier gates will likely see further innovations, including integration with AI-powered systems, facial recognition, and mobile app-based access control. These advancements will make turnstiles more efficient, secure, and convenient, driving their continued adoption across various sectors in Bangladesh.

In conclusion, turnstile barrier gates offer a robust solution for managing access and enhancing security in Bangladesh’s growing infrastructure. With their ability to efficiently control pedestrian flow, they are proving to be essential in modernizing security protocols and optimizing access management.

Turnstile Barrier Gate in Bangladesh: Enhancing Security and Efficiency

In recent years, the demand for advanced security solutions has increased significantly across various sectors in Bangladesh. As organizations strive to create safer environments, one key element that has gained prominence is the turnstile barrier gate. Turnstile gates are highly effective security systems used to control and monitor pedestrian access in a variety of locations, such as office buildings, factories, airports, metro stations, and event venues. In this article, we will explore the role of turnstile barrier gates in Bangladesh, their types, benefits, and how they contribute to enhanced security and operational efficiency.

What is a Turnstile Barrier Gate?

A turnstile barrier gate is a type of physical barrier installed at entry or exit points to regulate the flow of people. It typically features rotating arms or panels that allow one person to pass at a time, ensuring controlled access. These gates can be integrated with access control systems like RFID cards, biometric scanners, or QR code readers, allowing only authorized personnel to pass through.

Turnstile gates are widely used for both security and crowd management purposes. They prevent unauthorized access, restrict movement in sensitive areas, and track entry and exit data for better surveillance. In Bangladesh, the use of turnstile gates has grown across both public and private sectors due to increasing security concerns and the need for efficient access control.

Types of Turnstile Barrier Gates

Turnstile barrier gates come in various types, each designed for specific security needs and environments. Some of the most commonly used turnstile gates in Bangladesh are:

1. Tripod Turnstiles

The tripod turnstile is one of the most popular types of turnstile barrier gates. It consists of three rotating arms that allow one person to pass at a time. Tripod turnstiles are often used in places with medium-level security requirements, such as metro stations, stadiums, and office buildings. They offer reliable access control and are cost-effective solutions for managing large crowds.

2. Full-Height Turnstiles

Full-height turnstiles provide the highest level of security among turnstile gates. These gates are designed with full-height barriers that extend from the floor to the top of the gate, making it nearly impossible to bypass without authorization. Full-height turnstiles are commonly used in areas with stringent security needs, such as government buildings, prisons, and industrial facilities. They ensure only authorized individuals can enter or exit, making them ideal for preventing unauthorized access.

3. Swing Gate Turnstiles

Swing gate turnstiles are designed with swing panels that open to allow passage. These gates are often used in areas that require wider access points, such as for people with disabilities or those carrying large items. Swing gate turnstiles are commonly installed alongside other turnstile types, providing flexibility for different user needs. They are frequently seen in airports, hospitals, and shopping malls.

4. Speed Gates

Speed gates are modern, high-speed turnstile systems that provide seamless access control with minimal delay. These gates use sliding or retractable panels to allow passage after authentication. Speed gates are often equipped with advanced technologies like facial recognition and fingerprint scanners, making them ideal for high-security environments like corporate offices, financial institutions, and high-tech facilities.

5. Waist-Height Turnstiles

Waist-height turnstiles are similar to full-height turnstiles but offer a less intrusive design. These gates are often used in places with moderate security needs, such as gyms, museums, and entertainment venues. They provide an effective barrier for controlling pedestrian flow while maintaining an open and welcoming appearance.

Benefits of Turnstile Barrier Gates

The growing adoption of turnstile barrier gates in Bangladesh can be attributed to the numerous benefits they offer, including:

1. Enhanced Security

Turnstile gates act as a physical barrier, preventing unauthorized individuals from entering restricted areas. When integrated with access control systems, they ensure that only authorized personnel, such as employees or registered visitors, can gain access. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized entry, theft, or vandalism, especially in high-security locations like government offices or data centers.

2. Improved Access Control

Turnstile gates provide a controlled and monitored entry and exit system. By requiring authentication through RFID cards, biometrics, or QR codes, these gates ensure that each individual is properly verified before being granted access. This enhances the overall security framework of a facility and helps track who enters and exits, which is especially useful for audit trails and security logs.

3. Crowd Management

In high-traffic areas like airports, metro stations, and event venues, managing large crowds efficiently is crucial for ensuring public safety. Turnstile barrier gates regulate the flow of people, allowing only one person to pass at a time. This prevents overcrowding at entry and exit points and minimizes the chances of accidents, such as stampedes.

4. Data Collection and Monitoring

Hi, could you help me please? I'm the ticket ano from yesterday 😅

So in order to buy tickets for the Arsenal vs. Man City game at the Emirates, I had to create a free ticketing account or something like that.

I did that and was able to get tree tickets for me, my mum, and my sister.

I got a confirmation email, but there were no tickets attached. Is that normal?

Also, does it work at the game day. Do I show the pdf (if I was not scammed) for us three, or do I have to transfer them in order to get into the stadium, or how does that work?

Greeting Ticket Ano :)

That’s right. In order to buy anything from Arsenal’s website (tickets, shirts etc) you create an account and it gives you a member number.

My confirmation email does have the tickets but maybe not everyone’s does?

On the PDF you will get three tickets with three QR codes. These are what you scan in the turnstiles. You can either print out the PDFs or send your mum and sister their ticket so they have it on their phone.
