It’s always great to be trusted by globally recognised brands such as Mercedes-Benz. 🤝

Our engineers have travelled down to Milton Keynes today to carry out servicing works at the Mercedes-Benz headquarters. 📍

The team will be completing a full service on 10 barriers, ensuring each system is thoroughly checked, maintained, and operating safely and reliably. ✅

Can hot weather affect your gates, barriers, and access control systems? ☀

The answer is yes.

While winter weather often gets the attention, summer conditions can also create issues for perimeter security systems. Heat, direct sunlight, dust, increased usage, ground movement, and vegetation growth can all have an impact on performance. ❎

We’ve put together a simple guide explaining how summer weather can affect gates, barriers, bollards, intercoms, ANPR, and access control systems, along with the warning signs to look out for. 📑

🔟 barriers on one project! ✅

It’s been a busy week for the Gateway Automation team, and the results speak for themselves.

Our engineers have been on site in Bristol completing the installation of 8 automatic barriers and 2 manual barriers, creating a large-scale access control solution for the site. 📍

The automatic barriers have been fitted with radar detection, resistive edges and RSL push buttons, helping to support safe, reliable, and efficient vehicle access.

High-quality project images that showcase what Gateway Automation is all about: precision, expertise, and professionalism. 🙌

Last week, our team were on site at Panattoni Park in Swindon carrying out the installation of 4 turnstiles and 2 fully automatic pedestrian gates. 📍

This project is a great example of how well-planned access control systems can support site security, manage pedestrian movement, and create a reliable entry solution for commercial environments. 🔐

We’ll also be returning in the coming weeks to install 4 electric barriers, completing the next stage of the site’s access control setup. 🚧

Another strong project delivered by the Gateway Automation team, and a great case study showing why businesses continue to trust us with their perimeter security requirements. 🤝

We’ve put together a simple guide covering the best perimeter security solutions for schools and what to consider when planning an upgrade. 👇
