How the Multizone Concept Works
With the Multizone we broaden the validation experience. Imagine having multiple simultaneous validations for a single gate that optimize flow and access! The capability of our overhead sensor makes it possible to create a validation area in front of the gate. This area, is monitored with precision by the overhead sensor and the Digicon tracking algorithm.
Since we have this area in front of the monitored gate, we can distribute some validation totems there and thus define an X, Y coordinate of their positions and create a smaller validation area around each of the totems.
Each user / person entering this validation zone is tracked by it’s X-, Y-coordinates and is considered by the system as an unauthorized user. When a user approaches a totem in the validation zone and performs the validation, it receives a valid credentials and is now authorized and allowed to walk through the gate.
When multiple users perform simultaneous validations, they can all pass through the gate because the system knows their X, Y coordinates and can track each of the person, letting only the authorized users walk through the gate.
The big advantage by having multiple validation totems in front of the gate, is that one person validating will not block the access to the gate for others. Higher people throughput can be achieved by just adding more totems, not more gates, so there is a very important economic equation to be considered.
Also it is important to note that the gate is now independent from the token thus providing flexibility in the future of changing the token used without affecting the gate. We made it more practical and reduced the integration effort.
