Optical Turnstiles for Safety and Security

Featured

Optical turnstiles provide for tenants and visitors:

A safe, smooth, and orderly flow of personnel into and out of the building.

A secured pathway for visitors and exceptions such as disabled or baggage-laden individuals.

Turnstiles are a force-multiplier for building concierges and security officers. Maybe someone claims they’ve misplaced their security credential, or they say they’re late for a meeting. Maybe there’s an ex-employee trying to use an old credential to get back in, or an ex-spouse or boyfriend trying to ride in on someone’s coattails. The optical turnstile barrier helps attendants address the situation while maintaining building security.

DSI turnstiles and anti-tailgating systems have been used with temperature screening sensors (For COVID-19), PPE (such as facemask and hard hat) detection, electrostatic discharge equipment, and security screening for metal and radioactive material.

Are employees and visitors socially distanced as they use your turnstiles? Where turnstile lanes are closely spaced, DSI’s new sturdy acrylic Separation Shields may be the answer. These stable and rugged barriers are easily installed with turnstiles (regardless of brand), low walls, or countertops.

DSI turnstiles are compatible with most card and biometric access control manufacturers and elevator destination dispatch systems.

DSI has provided gear for food processing facilities, public buildings, banks, data centers, industrial sites, and sports venues where the new norm is to safety-screen all who enter. DSI has been deployed in some of the most secure facilities in the world, and we’re prepared to share our knowledge with you in confidence.

Dealers and integrators: ask us about project registration!

If you’re an integrator that’s helped designed a project around Denning manufacturers, we should be talking.

We represent manufacturers that appreciate the commitment it takes to get larger infrastructure, transportation, institutional, and enterprise projects of the ground. If you’ve invested time there may be a registration reward program for you.

We at Denning have provided surveillance and detection systems for buildings and structures throughout the US. Southwest Microwave is being used here to prevent bridges from closing on barges and ships as they travel on the Illinois river.

Chief Care Officer Sheila Wippich

It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Sheila Wippich, Chief Care Officer (CCO) at Denning Electronics Corporation, on September 30, 2018. She’s shown here piloting our boat Branch Office on a  sunset cruise.

CCO relates to Sheila’s role in the success and growth of Denning Electronics over the last 35 years. Though she did not become an employee until 2009, over the first three years she provided all family income and incredible emotional support as I struggled to find a toehold in a new profession.

Denning was founded by Sheila’s cousins Dennis and Inge Collins in 1982. I was the first employee, and became President in 1986 when Dennis and Inge formed a second company, NSSC. My position involved travel – mostly by car – in an area ranging from Eastern Pennsylvania to the Dakotas. Our first child was born on Christmas Day in 1985, and by the first week of January I was far away in Minnesota on sales calls. A week later we bought and moved into our first home, and two months after that she was back on the job at a downtown Chicago travel agency. Looking back, I’m humbled by her dedication and faith in me and the company.

Denning and NSSC were closely tied until 2009 when NSSC was sold and we became sole owners of Denning. Sheila asked if she was the right person to help guide Denning through this new phase, since she wasn’t sure I felt she could transition from homemaker to office manager. Admittedly I was hesitant, though my doubts quickly vanished.

Any Denning partner from that time on will tell you Sheila held our team together. Her social awareness, hard work, joy, love, and dedication made it a pleasure for us to come to work. As one longtime partner recently related to me, Sheila was the perfect complement to my nerdiness.

Services were managed by Moss Family Funeral Homes in Batavia, IL. Her obituary may be found here.
