Efficiency and security at airports with automatic gates

At Manusa, we develop access solutions to optimize the operation of buildings in various sectors. Among these are airports, one of the busiest environments in the world, where every day around 9 million passengers travel by air, both domestic and international. This high traffic makes it essential for airports to have automatic doors to facilitate smooth movement.

Our automatic doors can be installed in the various areas that make up an airport because they offer a series of essential advantages in this type of space: accessibility, security, remote control and energy efficiency.

As a result, Manusa doors make a big difference in the daily operation and passenger experience at dozens of airports around the world, such as Barcelona, Incheon, Gatwick and Madeira, where we have installed several Manusa solutions.

Accessibility without architectural barriers

Our automatic doors help eliminate architectural barriers by making it easier for people in wheelchairs, those with limited mobility, and those pushing strollers or carrying suitcases. They therefore increase the accessibility of the spaces, both from the outside of the building and inside, by eliminating the need to use hands to open and close doors.

Models such as the standard automatic sliding doors or revolving doors allow fast and fluid access from outside the airport terminal. Sliding doors can also be installed inside the building to separate spaces.

Increased airport security

Automatic gates also improve security at airport terminals. Within our portfolio of solutions for the sector, we have one-way corridors, a system equipped with one-way automatic doors, which ensures that passengers cannot go back once they have passed through, for example, passport control.

Manusa also designs, manufactures, installs and maintains panic break-out doors, which can be opened quickly in case of emergency, facilitating a fast and safe evacuation of passengers and workers.

Connectivity for access control

In addition, our accesses can be controlled remotely through the Doorfiwi application, an option that allows staff to have strict control using virtual keys and remote access to restricted areas. This advanced and innovative technology makes it possible to program the operation of the doors, receive reports and have a history of alerts.

More energy efficient airports

Another advantage granted by our gates is closely related to sustainability and care for the environment. It is the energy efficiency of the different buildings that make up the airport facilities. Our automatic doors help to save energy, since they have an automatic closing system that prevents sudden changes in temperature. This helps to maintain a constant climate inside the building, reducing the environmental impact.

Making an airport a comfortable place for transit and waiting depends on many factors and automatic doors are one of them.
