Advantages for venues
The TAS12-EDC is one of several intelligent admission products that we offer. All of our intelligent admission products integrate with Alvarado’s GateLink10 admission control software. We also offer a DirectConnect API, which allows 3rd party systems to integrate to our devices using easily implemented web service protocols.
The TAS12-EDC is an electrically locking turnstile that allows patrons to self-validate entry credentials. This frees ticket takers to monitor multiple devices, and perform valuable customer service functions such as greeting patrons.
Interaction with the turnstile is intuitive for users. A bright color TFT touchscreen display provides clear visual instructions to patrons. The screen can also be used to generate revenue through on screen advertising. LED’s on the rear of the device notify attendants of presented credential status (good/bad), and identify when specialty tickets, such as a child, senior or VIP, are presented. The turnstile supports many other admission functionality options most of which are conveniently controlled and implemented from the GateLink server.

All TAS12-EDC models come with color touchscreen displays and 1D/2D barcode imagers that quickly scan printed and digital barcodes in all types of environments.
