Speedlane Lifeline Optical Turnstile Series
Boon Edam Inc.
The Speedlane Lifeline series is the first of its kind in the industry. Its modern, sleek design is a far cry from the utilitarian, boxy designs of competitor turnstiles. With the slimmest cabinet in the industry (only 10 cm wide), the Lifeline can create a secure, yet unobtrusive entry experience. No other turnstile is as responsive and intuitive to use. A green LED light guides the user through the entire entry processes. The Lifeline is also the only of its kind to enter into an energy-saving mode when not in use, saving organizations on their utility bills. We designed the Lifeline with a purpose-based, modular approach. Components are put together in different combinations to create different products - creating efficiencies through the lifecycle of the product.
