Full Height Turnstiles for Relaytech: Secure Warehouse Access and Improved Workforce Control
Who Are Relaytech?
We worked with Relaytech, based in Nottingham, to deliver a secure access control solution for their production warehouse using full height turnstiles and perimeter fencing.
Operating within a busy industrial environment, Relaytech required a more structured approach to managing employee movement throughout the site. With staff regularly entering and leaving the main production warehouse, it was important to introduce a system that strengthened security while improving visibility over workforce attendance.
The project focused on creating multiple secure access points that would integrate seamlessly with the site’s existing access control infrastructure, ensuring only authorised personnel could enter operational areas.
As an international contracted logistics company, ID Logistics manages high volumes of products and operational activity on site. With valuable stock and multiple operational areas requiring controlled access, it was essential that the site had a reliable and secure entry system in place.
What Challenge Did Relaytech Face?
Without dedicated security turnstiles, anyone could enter the warehouse without passing through a managed access point. This not only reduced visibility over who was entering and leaving the production environment but also limited the site’s ability to accurately record employee attendance.
The client required a solution that would introduce structured access control without disrupting day-to-day operations. It was also important that the new system integrated with the site’s existing access control system, allowing employees to scan in and out while maintaining a smooth flow through the warehouse.
By creating multiple controlled entry points, Relaytech could improve both operational security and workforce management.
What Were UK Turnstiles’ Goals for This Project?
Our objective was to design and install a secure access solution that strengthened warehouse security while improving operational efficiency.
The installation needed to:
- Create multiple controlled entry points into the production warehouse.
- Ensure all employees scanned in and out using the existing access control system.
- Improve visibility over workforce movement and attendance.
- Strengthen site security using robust full height turnstiles and perimeter fencing.
- Deliver a durable solution capable of supporting a busy industrial environment.
- It was also important that the installation could be completed quickly to minimise disruption to the client’s ongoing operations.
Project Breakdown
To improve access control across the production facility, we installed multiple UKT-40 full height turnstiles, creating secure access points into the warehouse.
Each full height turnstile was carefully positioned to provide controlled single-person entry, helping eliminate uncontrolled movement while ensuring only authorised employees could access operational areas.
Alongside the turnstile gates, we installed perimeter fencing to create defined access routes throughout the warehouse. By combining fencing with the turnstiles, the system ensures that entry is only possible through designated controlled access points, significantly improving overall site security.
The installation was fully integrated with Relaytech’s existing access control system, allowing employees to scan in and out as they moved through the warehouse. This provides accurate attendance records while improving visibility over workforce movement throughout the day.
As experienced turnstile installers, our team completed the installation efficiently, delivering a clean, professional finish while ensuring the new infrastructure blended seamlessly into the existing warehouse environment.
Timeline
The entire installation was completed within just two working days, allowing Relaytech to upgrade its warehouse security quickly while minimising disruption to production activities.
Products used for this project:
- UKT-40 Single Full Height Turnstiles
- Perimeter Security Fencing
- Integration with Existing Access Control System
Results: Improved Warehouse Security and Workforce Management
The completed installation has significantly improved security and operational control throughout Relaytech’s production warehouse.
By introducing multiple entry turnstiles, the site now benefits from structured access into key operational areas, ensuring that employees enter and leave the warehouse through controlled access points.
Integration with the site’s existing access control system allows staff to scan in and out, providing accurate attendance data and improving workforce management. This enhanced visibility supports both operational planning and payroll processes while reducing the administrative burden associated with manual time recording.
The addition of perimeter fencing further strengthens the solution by directing movement through the designated turnstile gates, eliminating uncontrolled access routes and creating a more secure production environment.
Key benefits of the installation include:
- Improved warehouse security through controlled access points.
- Accurate employee clocking in and out.
- Better visibility over workforce movement.
- Enhanced operational efficiency.
- Seamless integration with the existing access control system.
- Robust infrastructure designed for long-term industrial use.
- Installation completed with minimal disruption in just two working days.
This project demonstrates how strategically installed full height turnstiles can do much more than secure a site. By combining physical access control with existing security infrastructure, businesses can improve operational efficiency, strengthen workforce management, and create a safer environment for employees.
