Xentry Checkpoint is a mobile system to secure vehicle access to temporary locations in a higher violence spectrum against burglary, insight and plane fire. In addition, it has a limited vehicle-resistant capacity. The system was developed when the army was looking for solutions to the problems that a mission of Dutch soldiers entails in the future. In addition to physical security, Checkpoint must be equipped with sensors to determine the properties of vehicles that pass and thus to be able to automate the process of access control.
A weak point in a wall is often the entrance, particularly when it is only protected by a barrier gate. The entrance should be as solid as the wall itself while opening rapidly and for as short a time as possible to allow a vehicle to pass. The Xentry Checkpoint is based on a 20’ container in which a trackless Speedgate and barrier are mounted. In this way, a wall of concrete blocks, containers or Hescos is seamlessly closed. While open, it provides access without barriers for all kinds of vehicles.
The Xentry Checkpoint is provided with Xense. Xense connects the Checkpoint to the internet and supports managers and service staff using “predictive maintenance”, “remote diagnostics” and “remote support”. This provides a host of opportunities to increase reliability and ease of use and to reduce maintenance and management costs. The Xentry Checkpoint can be equipped with additional sensors to support identification, authorisation and inspection of vehicles, persons and goods.
